10 TIPS TO LOSE 5 POUNDS IN A WEEK

If you have an important event coming up soon, and you need to work off a few extra pounds, here are 10 tips to help.  However, the practice of losing weight quickly should not be done often as it can affect long-term health. Eat 4 to 6 small meals a day consisting mostly of vegetables and low-fat protein. Make sure one of your meals each day is just raw vegetables. Do not drink anything carbonated.  It can contribute to swelling or bloating. Drink at least 12 glasses of water a day – then drink some more.  It will help keep you full and prevent you from retaining water. Cut the junk food for 7 days including sweets and alcohol. Minimize certain starchy foods and fruits.  Stay away from potatoes, rice, bread and pasta and reduce the intake of fruits to less than 2 servings a day. Walk for 20 minutes twice a day. Besides walking, get at least 30 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise like jogging, biking, group exercise class or swimming. Get more sleep.  Getting at least 7 ½ hours or more will help you lose excess weight. Cut the sodium.  Do not use table salt and stay away from processed foods.
