Here's a list of a couple of different tasks. See if you can tell what they all have in common:

- scaling Mount Everest
- passing the bar exam
- not watching American Idol
- losing 10 pounds of fat

Give up? These are all things that are extremely hard to do. Well, maybe not the American Idol one but every single season I say I'm not going to watch and sure enough, I get sucked in once again. Anyways, this article is going to focus on the losing 10 pounds of fat one I'll bet you already guessed that.

One of the reasons that losing weight is so hard for people is because they fail to stick to one consistent plan of action. They fall prey to the many diets and exercise products that are found on the market and seemingly pop up each and every day. They can be hard to lose weight when you never give your body a chance to adapt to one method you choose before you switch up and start trying another one. It's very common for people to lose faith in anything they do when they don't see immediate results. While nothing that I know of short of plastic surgery offers immediate results, there are a few things you can do right now to start losing weight quickly and safely even as much as 7 to 10 pounds per week or more.

The first of these techniques is one you may have heard before. It's called exercise. Regular vigorous exercise is the hands-down winner when it comes to burning fat off your body. You want to include a plan that combines both cardiovascular exercise such as running or jumping rope with a regular weight training program as well. If you've been hearing these admonitions for years but had yet to put on a pair of running shoes, now is the time to do it. Nothing will get you healthier and begin shutting off pounds light intense physical exercise.

The next technique will mention is no mystery or secret either but instead making a commitment to the healthy and well-balanced diet each and every day. This means making the bulk of your food high quality protein and fruits and vegetables versus junk food that contained ridiculous amounts of sugar and chemicals that do nothing but move you further away from your goal. Simply include a list of healthy foods on your refrigerator and make sure to make them the bulk of what you buy at the supermarket. If you only foods you have your disposal are healthy it will be much easier to stick to this plan and begin losing as much as a pound of fat every single day.

While it isn't a secret necessarily, the last technique will mention to help you lose weight quickly and safely as a detox diet. Such a diet asked to rid your body from unwanted toxins that have built up over years of eating improperly. Many of these take the form of liquid diets and Wally aren't unhealthy necessarily, they can be quite a stress and uncomfortable thing to go through for your body. They have shown to be effective however in helping those who try them lose as much as 10 pounds or more in a 10 day period. Make sure to do your due diligence and use caution if you're going to choose a detox diet.

Losing 10 pounds or more quickly and safely is no mystery but it does take dedication and following a plan of action consistently. Good luck with your weight loss goals and remember, by following the techniques above you may be just 10 days away from a brand-new you.
