Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks
So you want to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks? Sorry, pal, cannot do it. You know the mantra – go slow and steady – that is what we hear all the time. And I agree, those who try to lose weight quickly, often fail.
Why? There are many reasons, but mainly because without certain prohibited substances like clenbuterol and other illegal steroids, it is not easy to sustain a high rate of weight loss. Numerous studies show that for most people – it is safe and effective to lose weight at the rate of 2 pounds a week.
Right, but you know what? Rules are boooring. And frankly, that “2 pounds a week” thingy is getting on my nerves, a little. Some people can lose more than 2 pounds a week without any side effects.
I do not know if you can do that, but if you wan to try to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks, which comes down to losing 5 pounds a week for two consecutive weeks, I am not going to tell you not to do that. There is just one very important caveat.
Before you even think about changing your current diet, you have to consult with your doctor and let him know that you are going to start losing weight. So how does one lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks? There are many ways to do that.
For example, you can reduce your daily consumption of carbs and or calories, increase your activity level, which helps burn more calories, and start eating smaller meals more often, which keeps your metabolism high.
But perhaps the best way to lose weight is to follow a structured diet and exercises plan, which you actually like and want to follow because you are comfortable with it. If you do not know where to start, take a look at this program, Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is also a great program.
Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks sample diet plan Here is an example of a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet which you can use to lose up to 5 pound a week. Keep in mind that 1,200 calories a day is an absolute bottom, you cannot go lower than that. As a general rule, if you are hungry, do not be afraid to add more calories to your diet.

It's rather ridiculous to think everyone should operate around a 2000 calorie diet. So, a girl who is 5' and a guy who is 6'5" should both be eating the same number of calories? That's not realistic.

If you want to loose weight fast, try Dr. BErstein weight loss clinic. I had a struggle trying to loose a few pounds, then I bumped into one of his clinic. I sat there eating my tripple icecream when I saw the clinic across the street. 6 months later I was 83 pounds less. That was two years ago,
I did regain 30 pounds but It is eaier to know off that 10-15 pounds that it is to knock off 83.
good luck.

Losing 10 pounds in two weeks really depends on where you are starting from. If you have a ton of weight to lose, or have really poor eating habits and then make a big change in your diet and exercise you can lose a lot of weight very quickly. I needed to lose 35 pounds (give or take) and had poor eating habits, and tried the Teavalize System of two healthy teas a day and replaced all my drinks with it and ate heathier and I lost about 12 pounds in two weeks. Def. worth checking out but its all about eating better and getting some exercise... put less in your mouth and burn more calories!

Hey hunny, I know what it's like be overweight because until I was 18 so was I. But you need to remember that some of the extra pounds you're carrying are baby fat and will naturally be reduced. There's lots of things online about weight loss and fitness. Most importantly though focus on health and fitness, what the scale says doesn't matter half as much as how you look and feel. Excersize more, eat more fruit and veggies, and skip those BIG meals, make them small spaced out meals. And also healthy doesn't neccesarily mean unappetizing.
