Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks fact & guide

Many people were discussing if it is possible to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks and they send in a lot of reviews. As a matter of fact, you can even lose 80 pounds in one week! But that will land you in hospital as well. So it all depends on the methods of weight loss program that you are undergoing. From my previous experiences in weight loss, losing 10 pounds in 2 weeks is still possible with a healthy lifestyle.

There are several ways in which you can lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks but they require determination and hard work. If you are unable to overcome your mental hurdle, you need not continue with the rest of the process. First of all, let's do a little math here:

1 pound = 3500 calories 10 pounds = 35000 calories Amt of calories per day = 35000/2weeks = 35000/14days = 2500 calories

On average, you need to lose 2500 calories a day to meet your goal. To do this, you need to set yourself to a calorie limit and pay less attention to fat and sugars (they have the highest calorie content). However, it is a fact that a lot of people cannot live without fat or sugar a day. If you still want to achieve losing 10 pounds in 2 weeks with fat and sugar diet, you need to be involved with activities to 'manually' burn more calories, allowing yourself to increase daily calorie intake by the amount of calories burned.

A normal person consumes about 3000 of calories per day. Some people may ask, "If I take only 500 calories per day (since 3000 - 2500 = 500), wouldn't I lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks?" This is theoretically correct and I must praise him for his quick mental calculation. However, a 500 calorie per day diet is very calorie restrictive and is practically unsafe. As per said, that will land you in hospital. You still need a 2500 to 3000 calories per day diet to support vital body processes and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Here are 2 ways whereby you can lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks with a normal diet:

1. Eat more fruits, vegetables and grains

~ Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of water, very little calories (good news!) and high in nutrients. Water will fill you up and makes you full. Nutrients is essential for body functions and lose weight should not mean losing nutrition.
~ Eat whole grain bread rather than wheat bread, pasta or rice. The former has less calories as compare with the other three.

2. Workout and keep to normal routine

~ Workout is a must because without this, it is no use keeping good diet. Without workout, your body cannot burn away the fats. Workout refers to good cardio exercises such as aerobics classes, bicycling or running. Sometimes those ab machines are a waste of time (personally I think).
~ Normal routine refers to eat at normal times so you're sure to get in what you need every day. Do not eat late or over eat. Walk as much as you can because walking is a very good way to keep those calories at bay.

To sum up, losing 10 pounds in 2 weeks is actually possible if you put in commitment to it. You should also know that you'll need to work hard to keep the weight off in the future. Follow the above guide and you will have your target met.
