How To Loose Ten Pounds In One Week

If you are looking to lose weight the healthy way, you are looking at about a 1 to 2 pound loss each week. Losing ten pounds in a week can be risky and this is not something that should be tackled without the prior approval of your doctor. In order to lose ten pounds in a week, you will have to burn between 3,500 and 5,000 calories over what you consume in a day by restricting diet into small, nutritious portions of low calorie foods while increasing your aerobic exercise by using sport, interval training and some other vigorous activities. The goal will be risky and difficult to tackle, but it can be achieved.

Take In Less Calories Than You Burn Each Day to Lose Weight

This is the secret to weight loss. While this theory can be simple, actually practicing it is hard. A pound is the equivalent of 3,500 calories, so to lose ten pounds in just seven days, you will have to lose roughly 1.4 lbs or burn off about 5,000 per day.

Know Your Goal Is Very Challenging

When you are hoping to lose ten pounds in a week, you have to burn 5,000 more calories than you are taking in per day, which is a lot. This is not meant to discourage you in any way, it is just a reminder of how difficult it can be to lose this ten pounds in one week. You need to prepare for a journey that will be tough and know that the average person will burn roughly 2,000 calories each day. This will mean that if you take in exactly 2,000 per day, your weight is going to stay the same, meaning you will not gain or lose weight.

Drink Only Water

Water can be your best friend when you are dieting. Any sugary, sweet or caffeinated drinks will be your enemy. Some of the sweet sports drinks or energy drinks can have as much as 400 calories per serving, which is a third of your total calories for the day. Stay away from any beverages but water.

Cut Out Simple Carbohydrates

The simple carbs, or refined carbs, will usually not contain much good nutrition for the body and end up getting absorbed rather quickly. Staying away from these simple carbs will help you to lose weight much faster.

Walk Wherever You Can

If you need to go to the grocery store, think about walking there if it is not too far. If you have to get up to a certain floor in a building, opt for the stairs over the elevator. Each opportunity to walk will help you to burn even more calories so that you can reach your goal. Watch this video for more information:
