How To Lose 10 Pounds In 10 Days - Must Know Steps To Lose 10 lbs Fast

How To Lose 10 Pounds In 10 Days - Must Know Steps To Lose 10 lbs Fast
By John Davenport

If you want to know how to lose 10 pounds in 10 days you should be aware that it's possible but it will require some effort, commitment and determination on your part. I want you to have the best chance of success, so I want you to do 2 quick things which will increase your chances of successfully losing 10 lbs. in 10 days:

1. I want you to close your eyes and envision what it would be like to be 10 pounds slimmer. Think of how good your clothes will look on you, think of the complements you'll receive, think of how people will admire your new body, think about how you'd feel. Paint a mental picture and hold it in your mind so you'll remember it perfectly during the following 10 days.

2. I want you to make a pact with yourself. Say to yourself or even write it down and place the note in your pocket that you pledge to yourself to do what it takes to lose 10 pounds in ten days, to make the mental picture of the slimmer you a reality. By making this commitment to yourself, you bring your motivation to a heightened level and maximize your chances of success.

To lose 10 lbs in 10 days you need to combine exercise and proper nutrition. There are 2 courses of action you can take, one that places emphasis on fitness, and one which places it on nutrition.

1. If you choose a fitness oriented 10 day program, you will need to do 3 cycles of 3 days of workout with 1 day of rest in between.

Day 1: 45--60 minutes of cardio workout like walking, running, cycling, aerobics, etc.

Day 2: 60 Minutes of strength exercises. Make sure to workout your entire body.

Day 3: The same as day 1.

Rest day: No physical activity.

Repeat cycle.

Overall, in 10 days you will have 8 days of working out and 2 days of total rest. I know this seems hard, but it can be enjoyable and you will not only lose weight, you will look and feel fitter at the end of those 10 days. During this time, you will also have to watch what you eat and cut out fried food, fast food, processed sugar, sodas and other manufactured beverages, and pastries.

2. If you choose a nutrition based 10 days course of action, you will need to stick to a Calorie Shifting menu. By shifting your calories, you make sure that you keep your metabolism running at a high rate (unlike most other diets) and burning a lot of calories all the time. Calorie Shifting also ensures that you're getting the necessary nutrients to supply you with enough energy to take a 30--60 minutes evening walk every 2 days. The calorie shifting diet, more commonly known as Fat Loss 4 Idiots, promises that you can lose 9 pounds in 11 days, so you will need to give it an extra boost to lose 1 more pound in 1 less day. A walk every 2 days can give you that boost.

None of these 2 courses of action is an easy one to take (though once you begin it will seem easier and the results are worth it). Whenever it starts to feel rough, remember the pledge you made to yourself. If you wrote it down (and I recommend it), take the note out of your pocket and visualize the mental picture of a slimmer you. Do that and you have every chance to lose 10 pounds in 10 days.
