How to drop 10 pounds in one week without starving is a tough request. When clients in my Skinny Asian Diet system come to me with that challenge I usually inform them that it can be done if they're paying attention and stay sharp. Let's consider a few ways it can be accomplished and get you to your goal by the final target time!
How To Drop 10 Pounds In A Week
1. No salt, no sugar, no white carbs - Salt causes us to retain water, we can lose a full 2-3 pounds over the next seven days just from lowering our salt intake back to zero. Sugar and white carbs (bread, pasta, etc) are also on the no-no list because they cause water retention also, which makes our body seem puffy or bloated. Trim both back to zero for this week, you can do it!
2. Exercising - I want you to go outside, run at full speed ahead for 60 seconds, and then walk for the next 60. One minute at full output and the next minute essentially resting. This is called HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training, and there is no more desirable exercise on earth to help you lose 10 pounds in a week because of the enormous fat-burning that it sets off through the "shock" effect sprinting has on your system.
3. Protein, and lots of it - Your primary meals should contain protein, in the form of chicken (skinless), tofu, fish, eggs, or lean meat, or soy-based foods. Protein is a strong thermogenic, which means it enhances your metabolism while at the same time helping to eliminate fatty tissue. Limit your meals to 250 calories each, four times a day.
4. Raise water consumption - The more water you drink the less you'll retain. This is because the body understands precisely how much water you're taking in on a daily basis, and if it senses that you're a bit light on the amount it will take measures to make sure you hang on to every drop you drink. Drink a lot of water, lose a lot of water, that's how it works!
