Your 10 day plan to lose weight healthy

To lose weight fast, like in 10 days, you need to make a number of changes to your daily schedule both in your eating habits and exercise routine. Fast weight loss will not happen by its own. You will have to try hard and make a number of sacrifices. In this post we outline a simple plan on how to lose weight in 10 days. The plan is based on healthy guidelines and practices and does not suggest the use of any pills or other chemical ways to lose weight.

Before you start, you need to make some calculations and also take some measures. You will have to weight yourself and make a note of the result and you also have to write in a list the typical foods and drinks you eat in a normal day. Next to each item add the aprx number of calories they contain and find out the average number of calories you consume daily. This figure does not have to be exact, its only an indication on the number of calories you eat daily. Your goal in the next 10 days is to reduce this number by 500 calories per day. If you manage to do so you will be able to save 5000 calories which is equivalent to about 2 pounds.

What you should NOT eat during the next 10 days

As we said above what you eat is the main source of calories for the body. In order to create a daily deficit (burn more calories than the calories consumed) of 500 calories you need to take care of your diet and increase the calorie burning process by exercise. For the first part, you should definitely avoid the following foods and drinks: Soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, red meat, sweets, chocolates, processed foods, canned foods, fried food, junk food, white bread, dairy products (full fat) and everything else that is loaded with saturated fats and sugars. In their place you should include the following items in your diet: water (as much as you can), green tea, low fat dairy products, fish, tuna, legumes, poultry and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

How much you should exercise in the next 10 days

Exercise can help you achieve a lot of things during your weight loss period. It helps you build more muscles and eliminate fat; it will boost your metabolism and will enable you to control your appetite better. The typical question that many people have is what type of exercise to use and for how long. Well, the simple answer is that any type of exercise is good as long as you do it systematically and once in a while you increase both the duration and pace of the exercise. Your goals from exercise are to help your body to burn more energy so the more intense exercise you do the better. For your 10 day plan, you can walk for 20 minutes per day (5 times per week) and also do strength training for 30 minutes per day (3 times per week).
