Losing 10 lbs a week is not practical, and it is dangerous. It would be short of a miracle and it would require more than just finding the right diet plan. That’s the blunder many dieters make. They modify their eating habits and seem to be doing everything correctly, but they don’t lose weight. If they do manage to lose weight, it comes back soon afterwards.
If your goal is lose weight, you must have a proper weight loss plan which includes good nutrition and exercise.. There is another factor that will affect your losing weight. It is called sleep
Sleep is one part of losing weight that isn’t often talked about, but it is as crucial as exercise. Researchers have revealed that lack of sleep triggers the hormones that deal with appetite. This results in us overeating, and as a result can result in weight gain..
This is because our bodies crave foods that are rich and high in carbohydrates, so check the next time you have a craving if it is not a result of a lack for sleep.
Another fundamental to lose 10 lbs a week is to get rid of sugar and starch from your diet. They are the initial and simple sources of energy that your body consumes, which leaves the other food you consume to transform to fat. The sugar that is not utilized or not needed in the body turns to fat.
Also, here is how deep breathing aids you in your quest to lose weight. Deep breathing 15 minutes a day will assist the oxygen flow into your body and assist weight loss.
To lose 10 lbs in a week, you’ll want to utilize all the natural weight loss tactics obtainable to you. You might find pills or fad diets that can get you there, but I wouldn’t advice you to take that route.. The weight will return and your hard work will have been futile.
The most recognized way to lose 10 lbs in a week is to clearof the surplus water in your system and eat healthy, fat-free foods. Kick start the process by ensuring you stay away from junk food and foods with sugar.
If your diet plan is a good one which incorporates good nutrition and exercise, you will see results quickly as your body clears the water that it has retained.
Bear in mind that although it may be encouraging to see the pounds melting off in the beginning, this is not fat loss yet. Incorporate adequate exercise into your weight loss plan. Simply eating correctly won’t cause you to loses 10 lbs in a week. It takes a combination of exercise, deep breathing exercises, adequate nutrition, and a peaceful sleep.
Take each of these and implement whatever measures are required to get them into balance. If sleep is a difficulty, try to get rid of pressure from your life.
With a good strategy, you should be able to lose weight with utilizing the energy that your body is consuming and clearing the water, coupled with good nutrition. Expect to lose a small amount in the first few days, but an average of about 1-2 pounds per day after that.
If you’ve had difficulties to get to the weight that you are yearning for, know that with the right plan applied consistently and healthily, you can lose weight in a week, even if it is not the 10 lbs that you were gearing for. The important thing is go through this journey in a realistic, healthy way.
I wanted to share a pretty unique article with you today from my trusted colleague and Nutrition Specialist Mike Geary.
You probably thought you already knew everything you needed to know about trans fats, but this article may surprise you…
A type of Trans Fat that makes you leaner?
by Mike Geary, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist
co-Author – The Fat Burning Kitchen
We all know that trans fats are horrible for your health right? But what if I told you that there is a specific type of trans fat that’s natural (not man-made) and actually helps you to lose fat faster and build lean muscle?
Well, check out the excerpt from my new program that I co-authored called “The Fat Burning Kitchen” below:
“…Not many people know this fact, but CLA is actually a natural form of trans fat, but it is FAR different than the artificial trans fats from hydrogenated oils that are so deadly and that you hear all of the negative information about. CLA is actually one of the only healthy trans fats in existence.
CLA is a natural form of healthy trans fat that occurs in the fat on the meat, and in the dairy from ruminant animals such as cattle, bison, deer, goats, sheep, kangaroo, etc. CLA in natural form has been shown to help in burning off abdominal fat and also maintaining or even building lean muscle.
Warning: do NOT use CLA supplements as they contain an artificially created form of CLA that is a different CLA isomer compared to the natural CLA isomer that’s found in meats and dairy from ruminant animals. The CLA isomer found in CLA supplements can have negative effects in the body and is more similar to an artificial trans fat. The only form of CLA is that going to benefit your health and help you to reduce body fat is the natural CLA isomers from grass-fed beef, bison, venison, etc or from grass-fed raw milk or cheeses.
Also, grass-fed meats and dairy contain 3-5x the CLA of grain fed meats, so avoid your typical grain-fed grocery store meats.
So that is the reason why I focused more on red meats such as grass-fed beef and bison during this 23-day cutting cycle instead of chicken, turkey, or fish — because the extra CLA can really help in accelerating fat loss and preserving lean muscle…”
There you have it… there actually IS such a thing as a healthy trans fat… bet you didn’t know that!
This was an excerpt from my brand new program I just co-authored with an extremely knowledgeable nutrition expert named Catherine Ebeling.
Because this is our launch week… you can grab the program for half price this week only. The price will double in a few days at the end of the week.
Also, I wanted to really knock your socks off with this program, so if you grab a copy this week, I even decided to throw in a special bonus section that gives you every single nitty gritty detail of how I just went from 10.2% bodyfat down to 6.9% bodyfat in only 23 days while I prepped for a photo shoot recently.
This is advanced stuff for when you might have an event such as a wedding or a beach vacation coming up and you need to knock off some significant bodyfat in only 3-4 weeks time frame. There’s nothing unhealthy here… but these techniques are definitely “amped up” from the norm.
When I say nitty gritty details… I’m talking everything, including specific spices, teas, nutrients, exactly what I ate, carb/protein/fat ratios and how I manipulated timing of nutrients to accelerate fat loss.
Seriously, we did the body comp tests and I went from 10.2% BF to 6.9% BF in only 23 days. I’ll be sharing the pics on my blog in a week or 2, when I get the finals back from the photographer.
You’ll find out all of those details of how I did this in the bonus chapter if you grab a copy this week.
Healthy eating takes planning, especially if you are on the move during the day. Without a plan you can find yourself eating unhealthy foods or foods that are empty in calories or eating irregularly, which can jeopardize your weight loss efforts and prevent your body from performing optimally. Here is my recommendation to healthy nutrition, which worked for me:
1. Cut down on fast foods. Yes I know that it can be very tempting at times and it can be hard to say no to that burger and fries or that pizza, but fast foods can be high in fat and calories.
2. Reduce your intake of fats especially the fat found in red meat and chicken skin. This fat is also a source of cholesterol, so not only are your weight loss efforts in vain you are seriously compromising your health.
3. Some of us do have a sweet tooth, but it is important to cut down on the sugar, especially processed sugar. If you do have a craving, opt for a fruit or 100% juice, instead of sodas and sweets.
4. Remember what your parents and teachers used to say about fruit and vegetables? They were right, it is very good for you. Try and aim for five portions of fruits and vegetables a day. The general rule is, the more color your fruits and vegetables have, the more beneficial they are for your body.
5. Eating out has proved to be a challenge for some people, but it does not have to be. Opt for grilled foods, vegetables and if you opt for salad, choose a salad that does need salad dressing. If you have to use salad dressing, opt for dressing that is light in fat.
6. Meal skipping is a big no. Aim for three balanced meals and a fruit or vegetable snack in between. This will ensure your body has the energy it needs and it will not go into starvation mode.
7. Regulate your portions. Rather spread your meal over a couple of hours instead of having a huge meal on one seating. Do not wait until you are nearing starvation to eat, because then you will consume more food than you need.
Maintaining your body weight is not just about looking good, it is about good nutrition and health. It shouldn’t be something that is done temporarily; it is a way of life. Losing weight will require that you eat right, control your portions and incorporate some form of exercise.
healthier you.
