How to Lose 10 Pounds in a Week - Tips For Best Weight Loss Plan

     I desperately needed to lose weight for my wedding. I have lost 13 pounds on the first week, and 10 pounds to the second. This is quite a short time for losing weight, and not very healthy, I know. However, this quick weight loss success was a kick-start for my weight loss journey, and it motivated me to maintain losing weight, following natural and healthy methods later. I am going to share every single step I followed on the 2nd week, that helped me to lose 10 pounds in 7 days.

Please remember extremely fast weight loss is never healthy.

Here are the steps I followed after the first 7 days, to lose 10 pounds in a week:

1) First, I had per day of detox - to cleanse my body and lose weight even faster. I prepared a drink of lemon juice, ginger and honey mixed with water, and drank this detox drink during the day. Whenever hungry, I just drank it. I felt good, as I normally do, no cramps, no lack of energy, nothing. This wasn't hard in anyway, and I am sure it boosted my weight loss results. I do know many people do the entire week of detox, but this isn't for me.

2) I limited the amounts of foods, because I really needed to lose weight so fast. I had a lot of vegetables, lean meat, fish, eggs, and many fruits (mostly apples and oranges). My new rule of eating was this: 1/2 the plate could be veggies (just tried avoiding a lot of potato), ?of the plate - white meat or fish, and the remaining might be fruit (no bananas because they are too sweet and starchy). I know that eating less is not always an option for a long lasting weight loss. But it surely is an option for fast weight loss, and that`s what my goal was. A neater way to cut back the amount of food is to getting a smaller plate. However, eating less was pretty hard, I admit. But I reached my goal, and I'm so happy now.

3) I added 2 apples an one can of black beans to my daily diet. I had the beans as my main meal, or split them into 2 smaller meals and had with veggies on the side. This is the trick that no diets tell. And it really works wonders, because 35 grams of fiber in a daily diet truly supercharges weight loss. These fibers clean the digestive tract and improve digestion.

4) I started to eat breakfast and stopped eating at night. 7 PM was modern time of the day when I had my dinner. Breakfast boosted my metabolism and helped me to burn calories faster, although I never believed it could be so important for weight loss. It kept me energized as well. I got at least 10 glasses of water through the day, and I still do - water cleanses the body, increases metabolic rate, and does not let you feel hungry.

5) I distributed my usual calorie intake over the day. I started to eat 5 times a day, having smaller meals. Therefore I never had to go hungry.

6) I limited fat, sweet and never so healthy food, and whenever I felt like I need to eat something unhealthy, I moved those meals to the first a part of the day. Because metabolism is higher in the morning when compared with the evening, and this let me eat a donut or ice cream once every few days.

7) Rather than drinking juice, I had a fresh fruit every time. Juice is too sweet for weight loss, if you`re thirsty, get some water or unsweetened green tea.

8) I kept myself motivated and busy all the time. I know that whenever you`re busy, you don't have any time to visit the kitchen. This works wonders.

This plan might sound too simple to lose 10 pounds in a week - but follow this plan religiously, and you will observe real results.
