How to Lose 10 Pounds in 3 Days

Author: Kaven Lim Author Ranking Bronze | Posted: 04-07-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 1 | Rating:  (138) Article Popularity - Blue (?) Got a Question? Ask.

You have a big event coming up and you want to lose 10 pounds in 3 days. Is it possible?

Let's be honest. Do you really think you can lose 10 pounds in 3 days? That's a lot of weight. It took you more than 3 days to gain the weight and it will take time to get rid of it.

Unless, of course, you're carrying a lot of water. Fortunately, water is easy to lose and it can amount to as much as 5 pounds in a few days. The loss happens quickly in the first few days, but once the excess water is gone and you start losing fat, the weight loss slows down.

Your overall health is one of the first things to consider when trying to lose 10 pounds in 3 days. You want to be certain there aren't underlying conditions that could cause you problems. For instance, you'll want to know if you have a health issue that is causing you to carry extra weight. If there is, your efforts to lose weight will frustrate you.

Next, look at your lifestyle. Do you spend the majority of time behind a computer? In your spare time, do you participate in physical activities or do you head for the television?

Check your food intake. Do you eat fatty foods, processed foods and junk food? Are you a red meat eater or do you prefer fish and chicken? How much fresh fruit and vegetables do you eat each day? How's your salt intake? Salt causes your body to retain water.

How frequently and at what times of day do you eat? Are you on the traditional schedule of 3 meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner? Are snacks a regular part of your day? What kind of snacks do you eat?

If you want to lose 10 pounds in 3 days, you'll have to adjust your meals from 3 large meals a day to 5-6 smaller meals a day. This will keep your body working to digest the food. In turn, it will cause you to lose weight.

Get on a fitness routine that builds muscle because muscle building uses up more energy than other forms of exercise. If this isn't an option for you, find another activity that burns energy. Brisk walking and cycling are good alternatives because they get your muscles working. They also cause heavy breathing which helps your body to lose weight.

You can try one of the fad diets designed to help you lose 10 pounds in 3 days, but they do not meet your daily nutritional needs. Once you stop the fad diet, your weight will rise.

Whichever plan you use, make sure it consists of regular daily exercise that burns calories, and a low calorie diet taken in smaller amounts throughout the day. Choose the fresh fruits and vegetables that have been proven to help people lose weight.

Be consistent with your plan until you achieve your weight loss goal.

Keep your body busy exercising and digesting food and you just might lose 10 pounds in 3 days.
