How to Lose 10 Pounds in 30 Days
Suggestions on Quick and Easy Weight Loss
How can you lose 10 pounds quickly? Here are some suggestions on how you can lose 10 pounds in the next 30 days.
Before you embark on any weight loss program or attempt to lose weight quickly, you should consult your doctor. No Internet article on quick and easy weight loss can possibly substitute for solid, personal, and professional medical counsel from your physician. So check with your doctor before beginning any weight loss program.
Here are some steps for you to consider in your quest to lose 10 pounds in the next 30 days:
Step #1: Visit Your Doctor
Discuss your goals, your health, and your strategy with your physician. Do not proceed to any of the next steps until you've scheduled this appointment. It is important that you get professional, quality advice on weight loss.
Step #2: Stop Smoking and Drinking Alcohol
Let's face it. Smoking and drinking alcohol may be enjoyable for you and it may be a stress-reliever for you, but they are not helping your health situation (not now and not in the long term). You need to give up smoking and alcohol consumption if your want to lose weight and/or improve your health.
Step #3: Take a 30-Day Break from all Sodas
If you want to drop 10 pounds in 30 days, then soda needs to go. That includes diet soda. Recent studies have shown that diet sodas don't help with weight loss. In fact, diet soda may be counter-effective. Take a 30-day break from all soda intake.
At the end of 30 days, consider a long-term lifestyle change -- maybe 1 small soda a day. Of course, you may find that after going without soda for 30 full days, you don't crave it as much anymore. In that case, drop it altogether.
Step #4: Go from 3 Large Meals to 5-6 Small Meals
Get out of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner habit. Switch to 5-6 smaller meals (think of them as sizable, but healthy snacks). Space your meals apart, so that you are not eating anything too late at night, but that you keep your metabolism up throughout the day.
Step #5: Water, water, water
Drink lots of water. At least 8-10 eight-ounce glasses of water each and every day. Enough said.
Step #6: Increase Your Exercise
If you don't exercise at all, start with walking a litle bit each day. In addition, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park a little further out when you go to work or school. Look for opportunities during the day to drop and do just five push-ups or sit-ups. Just a little bit to get you started.
Then, with the advice of your doctor, you can increase your exercise regimen to something more significant.
The preceding six steps, so long as you implement them with the full consent and knowledge of your physician, should cause you to see weight loss results (of at least 10 pounds) in the next 30 days.
Good luck!
