Yes, you can lose 10 lbs in a week. Especially if you're highly motivated. As in you've got an event coming up like prom or a wedding. Or you need to meet some kind of weight standard for work and are bound and determined to lose the pounds. Then yes, it can be done.
Now while I surely don't want to sound like your mother, but in the spirit of full disclosure, you do realize any such dramatic, not to mention fast, weight loss like ten pounds in a few days will be fleeting? As in temporary at best?
Then too you won't be able to be too picky about what you eat for 5-7 days running.
Plus this isn't going to be exactly easy or healthy. Nor are you putting a premium on doing this safely either.
We're good? Okay. Then as long as we're on the same page let's continue. Because to lose this kind of weight fast, believe it or not, you've got a few options.
One approach is fasting. Which is another way of saying you don't eat much if anything for a day or two or three. Not too original or creative admittedly. And sure, while this is a semi-starvation approach that's not highly recommended, it will produce results. High school wrestlers do it all the time to meet weight.
Another plan would be to turn to one of the ever famous one item only fad diets we've all heard about. Like the cabbage soup diet, the cookie diet, or the grapefruit diet.
True, you won't lose fat but you will lose weight.
Again this is an extreme approach. Worst case you're pretty much only eating one thing. Which is to say it will also be boring - as in "I'm sick of this" boring. And while a step up from fasting, that would only be a small step.
Still if you went with say, the cabbage soup diet, you'd be downing big bowls of it at breakfast, for lunch and again at dinner. Midnight snacks too. And anything in between. Love that cabbage.
But were you to stick with it my guess is you would be taking in something less than 700 to 800 calories per day. (I mean how much cabbage soup can you eat after all?) Which will help you shed the pounds.
Luckily the mere fact that cabbage is bulk-worthy, you'll at least feel full. And possibly gassy, lightheaded and a few other things too - but we won't get into that now.
Again this is an extreme approach. But if you've got to lose 10 lbs in a week, you've only got extreme approaches to pick from.
Finally let's dust off an oldie but goodie. Used at one point by slightly overweight stewardesses back in the day when airlines were concerned with such things. That and on time arrival, tasty in flight meals, customer service, but I digress.
With this diet, you're allowed an egg for breakfast, only the egg white would be better, a tossed leafy salad at lunch complete with a dab of calorie free dressing, three ounces of like broiled chicken breast or very lean beef with another tossed leafy greens salad again at dinner. And that's it.
Don't know about you, but to me that at least sounds more appetizing than cabbage soup morning, noon, and night. Even if you do feel hungry and deprived. Yet again restricting your calorie intake severely like this will show results on the scale. Who knows? Maybe even ten pounds worth.
Just keep two other facts in mind for me if you have it in your head to follow any of these tips..
One, since you're drastically cutting your caloric intake you must be sure to keep hydrated. That's right, drink plenty of fluids.
And two you can't stay on any of these plans for longer than a week! Looking good is one thing. Putting your health at risk is something else altogether.
Anyway, here's to a new, 10 lbs lighter, you!
