Best Ways To Lose Weight In A Week

October 28, 2009

Far too many people in the world today have packed on added pounds. There are many different reasons, some genetic, others environmental. Regardless of the reason, when we want to lose weight, it has to be fast. And how can you do it? Here are three different, totally free, plans that can help you lose weight in just one week.
Over 75 percent of our body is comprised of water. Therefore, we need a great amount of water to sustain our bodies. Our bodies retain, or store water for future needs — the result of millions of years of evolutionary wiring. Most of us carry around 5 to 8 pounds of excess weight in the form of water. And how do we reduce this water weight? It may sound strange, but by simply drinking more water, we can re-program the body not to keep this excess supply. If you drink about a gallon of water each day, you’re body can be taught that there’s no need to retain that extra water for emergencies, and it will be released from the body.

What’s the second plan? Change your eating. Chose a diet that is comprised entirely of fruits and vegetables. Leafy green salads, steamed vegetables, and fruit will give you large amounts of food with very few calories. And in addition to reducing your caloric intake, you will ingest a lot more fiber. This will serve to clean the bowel and eliminate a large volume of excess waste that most of us carry around inside us because we do not eat right.

 The third plan to lose weight in a week is a combination of the first two methods. You can lose weight in a week by increasing both the amount of water you drink and the vegetables you eat. But to stay healthy, the body requires certain amounts of protein, which can be found in meat, poultry and fish, and also carbohydrates, which are common in grains. Carbohydrates are necessary to give the body the fuel it needs to burn calories, and, since your caloric intake is decreased, you will lose weight.

You might find that this third strategy works less quickly that the first two, but it will prove to be ultimately healthier for you; you’ll be able to take in the nutrients you need, while at the same time burning off the calories that made you gain weight in the first place – getting to a point where you take in more than you burn is ideal.

By following this balanced plan, a person can lose, on average, from 8 to 20 pounds in a week. Assuming, of course, that you have that much excess weight to lose. And since most of us do, this weight loss goal is worth considering.
