Are you wanting to lose 10 pounds quick, well before you start there’s a few very important things that you need to know before you begin. Losing lots of weight quickly is not only bad for your general health and well being, but for long term weight loss success is not good. To lose ten pounds quick you need to look at losing around two to three pounds each week. Four to five weeks is a good amount of time to set for yourself to lose this weight.
The best way to do it and to make sure that all the weight you losing is fat and not lean muscle mass. Is by eating a healthy and balanced diet which is high in protein and complex carbohydrates and low in fat. You will also need to do cardio exercise to burn the fat and lift weights to build lean muscle mass. To know exactly what type of weight you are losing each week , you will need to measure your body fat percentage. The way I do it, is by weighing myself each week on a set of body fat scales. This method is so quick and easy and in just a matter of seconds you will have the information you require to know exactly what type of weight you are losing each week.
To lose 10 pounds quick drop your daily calorie intake by about 500 calories and burn off another 500 calories each day through exercise. This is a 7,000 calorie reduction each week, which equates to 2 pounds (3,500 calories = 1 pound). By doing this it will take you 5 weeks to achieve your goal. But to speed this up to just 4 weeks you will need to work slightly harder to ensure that you lose the extra 0.5 pounds each week. By reducing your calorie intake and exercising correctly the 10 pounds that you lose will mostly be fat.
Some people buy into the hype that you can lose 10 pounds quick, and when I mean quick just one week. This is possible but by losing this amount of weight so quickly most of the weight lost is lean muscle mass which means, you are actually fatter than before you lost the ten pounds. If you have got ten pounds to lose, my advice is stay away from rapid weight loss diets and programs that promote extreme weight loss.
