Weight loss questions

Girls, not even the bariatric weight loss surgery can possibly get you rid of 10 pounds in 3 days. How much time did you take to put those 10 pounds on your butt, hips, thighs and belly, may I ask you? You took longer than 3 days, did you? How on Earth can you imagine you can loose it like this, like getting rid of a backpack?

I Insist To Lose 10 Pounds Over Whatever Period. What To Do?

Of course, I can show you 100 ways of losing 10 pounds, but none of those methods are promising you such a quick and yet healthy result as 3 days. Keep in mind that human metabolism is such a fragile mechanism that you can break and trouble easily, with long term implications like getting ill, or getting even fatter than in the beginning of your fat loss process.

If you suffer from water retention, you are probably swollen and bloated and this can be fixed within three days, offering you the chance to look a bit better. Just drink plenty of water (like 8 glasses per day, spread evenly across your day), stop eating salt or salty foods like crackers, peanuts, salty cheese, and make sure to hydrate your skin with some soft creams or baby shower oils. you have to transmit your brain the message that your body has plenty of water, that it’s an abundance of fluids, so it is not necessary to make water deposits in the body cells.
Weigh yourself at the end of three days and see how much weight you’ve lost. You are probably not going to lose 10 pounds in as little as three days, but it’s a start to losing 10 pounds in 10 days or in a month. Is this good enough for you?

Losing weight at high speed can be dangerous

Losing 10 pounds in a week is an understandable desire, but one should ask herself the question about how to do it, and about how healthy can this quick weight loss be for the body? If we only think at stretchmarks, which are permanent, and which are prone to appear following major weight fluctuations, we need first to assess the benefits of losing ten pounds in seven days, and only then proceed to losing this weight.

If you are convinced, there’s one diet you can try after consulting your doctor for permission: the Sacred Heart Diet. This diet is based on eating large quantities of a special soup, plus some other foods, like it follows:

Day One – Soup and fruit. (no bananas)
Day Two – Soup and vegetables (no dry beans, peas or corn), and then a baked potato with butter at dinnertime
Day Three – Soup, fruit and veggies (no potato!) By today, up to seven pounds could be shed!
Day Four – Bananas (at least three) and skim milk- on this day, the body will need calcium and potassium.
Day Five – Soup, 10-20 ounces of beef and tomatoes (one can or six fresh)
Day Six – Soup and as much beef and veggies you want
Day Seven – Soup, brown rice, veggies, unsweetened fruit juice

This is the weight loss soup recipe, in the article where I found out about it.
During the seven diet days you can drink as much water as you like, black coffee (no sugar, no cream), tea, cranberry juice or unsweetened fruit juice. Definitely give up alcohol and carbonated soft drinks.

While this doesn’t look like a dis-balanced diet, you could still try to count your calories to see how many you get each day. If your caloric intake is too low you’d lose weight, but you won’t have enough energy for your daily routine, so you might end up exhausted and feeling sick.

I always use to say that it’s better to be slightly overweight and healthy rather than slim and ill. How to lose weight is always a personal matter, as we are unique and so are our bodies. My 2 cents.

The raw food diet supposes that the only permitted foods are fruits, vegetables and seeds, and they are to be consumed raw, making sure that you get enough calories to support your whole day activities. Fruit smoothies and juices are allowed, but sugar is prohibited.

How Many Pounds Can One Lose With the Raw Food Diet?

One first example of losing a few pounds during 31 days of raw foods diet is Steve Pavlina. He kept a diary of the diet on his blog, posting photos of each meal, carefully weighting the food, counting the calories as well as the quantity of fats, carbs and proteins those meals contained in those foods. He tried to avoid monotony so he combined fruits like papaya, avocado, bananas, mango, blackberries, clementines, cherries, Fuji apples or blueberries with vegetables such as celery, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumber, bell peppers or carrots. Tahini dressings helped him give a bit more taste to his meals.

He also described his sensations, like drowsiness or other side effects of switching from a normal diet to a raw food one, he measured his blood pressure and his urine PH level. Although the diet was tough, due to the detox symptoms, Steve Pavlina managed to keep it for the whole trial period of 31 days. After he returned to normal, cooked foods, he noticed a decrease of his energy levels.

While his first intention was not losing weight, he managed to lose 8 pounds in 31 days. For people interested in trying this diet, Steve offers the recording of one of his raw food coaching sessions, which would give you an insight into how to make green smoothies, or blended salads, or how to include fat into the diet without problems generated by combining foods. This raw food coaching recording would help you to take a peek into the mindset of a low-fat, raw diet long term follower. Listen to it, and if all you want is to lose 10 pounds in one month, maybe this raw food detox is not the best choice of a weight loss diet for you.
