It’s beach season again and you have to lose weight in a week, or you have a party to go to or a wedding. There are probably dozens of different reasons that you could think of that makes you want to lose weight fast. The decision that you’re making today is great.
One thing that you'll need to realize is that a crash diet will help you to lose weight quickly, but it isn't a long term solution to dieting. The way to look at this endeavor is as either a kick start to a more long term and traditional program, or if you're already super lean, you can use this week’s effort as a step to get super lean.
The first step that you need to take towards your new goal is to begin to consume large amounts of water. The average person is supposed to take in 8 glasses of water a day.
To accomplish what you want to in a week, you have to give your body more than average hydration. I mean drinking lots of water, upwards of a gallon a day. The reason for this may sound strange, but the more water that you drink the less it holds in your body. This will reduce your water weight drastically. This technique alone can result in a 5-7 pound lose of water weight throughout the course of a week. And water acts as an appetite suppressant to help you lose weight while not adding any calories.
The next thing that has to be tweaked is your diet, not just the food that you eat, but also the way you eat. You’re not going to make a dent in the way your body looks if you continue making bad food choices. Most of us are carbohydrate addicted. Let’s face it, we love our breads and pastas - but not this week.
If you want to make a difference in yourself in a one week period then you have to eliminate all the starchy and sugary carbohydrates from your diet. These include bread, pasta, cakes, pies, candy, and any other sugary doughy thing you could think of. What your diet is going to consist of during this week is protein, protein, and more protein. You need to be eating nothing but lean meats, such as chicken breast, turkey breast, lean beef and egg whites. This may sound extreme, but if you want to see a change in your body in such a short period of time, drastic steps have to be taken.
Although I wouldn't recommend such an extreme diet in a more traditional program, when you want to make a quick change, or a quick start, this is the way to get results fast. After the week is over and you have gotten through whatever special occasion it is that you needed to go to, you can start adding in some additional carbohydrates to your meals. Remember, to add them in slowly or you’ll gain the weight that you lost right back.
Another piece of advice is to keep your meals small. Eat 5-6 small meals a day consisting of lean meats, vegetables and fruits, and you’ll be on your way to a body that others will envy. So lose weight in a week and get yourself on the road to being slim and fit.
