5 Tips for Losing Five to Ten Pounds Fast

1. Become obsessed.

In general, it's not a great idea to become obsessed over anything. But, when you need to lose pounds fast, and you want to do it in a healthy way, obsession can be your friend. Basically, you must be constantly focused on getting the leaner, sexier-looking body you're shooting for. You must also become acutely aware of what you're doing, what you're eating, and how you're feeling... among other things.
The bottom line is that, when you need to lose 10 pounds for an event that only 2 weeks away, there's very little room for error!

2. "Flood" your body with water.

Drinking large amounts of water is one of the real "secrets" to fast, healthy weight loss. Besides flushing toxins out of your body and boosting your metabolism, drinking large volumes of water can significantly reduce your appetite while helping to reduce water retention and bloating.

3. Eat 5-6 high-protein meals & snacks per day.

Eat a small, healthy, protein-rich meal every 2-3 hours during the day. This has been proven to help boost the metabolism, increase calorie burning, and help to eliminate hunger and food cravings. Also, make sure that a few of your daily meals contain some form of healthy fat (e.g. from nuts, seeds, fish, olive oil, etc.).

4. Cut the carbs.

Many types of carbohydrate foods are fat loss "roadblocks" which keep you from losing pounds quickly. You absolutely must avoid simple refined sugars as well as highly-processed flours. Most of your carb intake should come from vegetables, beans, and a few servings of fresh fruit. If you must eat bread/pasta/cereal/etc. make sure it is made with 100% whole grains, and limit your intake to 1 or 2 servings per day.

5. Get moving.

Find some form of exercise you enjoy doing... and do it 5-6 days a week. You don't have to go crazy and you definitely shouldn't "force" yourself to do some kind of exercise you hate. Just find something that gets your heart rate up and makes you break a sweat. Research has shown that just 20-30 minutes of real exercise per day can make a huge difference in the way you look and feel.
