How to drop 10 pounds in a week without depriving yourself of food is a difficult request. When clients in my Skinny Asian Diet program come to me with that challenge I generally inform them that it can be done if they're paying attention and stay sharp. Here are a few ways it can be performed and get you to your goal by the deadline!
How To Lose 10 Pounds In 7 Days
1. No salt, no sugar, no white carbs - Salt makes us to retain water, we can lose a full 2-3 pounds over the next week just from cutting our salt intake back to zero. Sugar and white carbs (bread, pasta, etc) are also on the no-no list since they cause water retention too, which makes our body seem puffy or bloated. Lower both back to zero for this week, you can do it!
2. Physical Exercise - I want you to go outdoors, sprint at full speed forward for 60 seconds, and then walk for the next 60. One minute at full expenditure and the next minute basically regenerating. This is called HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training, and there is no more effective exercise in the world to help you lose 10 pounds in a week because of the incredible fat-burning that it sparks through the "shock" effect sprinting has on your entire body.
3. Protein, and plenty of it - Your major meals should consist of protein, in the form of chicken (skinless), tofu, fish, eggs, or lean meat, or soy-based foods. Protein is a potent thermogenic, meaning it improves your metabolism while concurrently helping to remove fatty tissue. Reduce your meals to 250 calories each, 4x a day.
4. Increase water intake - The more water you take in the less you'll retain. This is because the body knows exactly how much water you're ingesting on a daily basis, and if it senses that you're a bit light on the quantity 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!
