what is the best way to lose 10 lbs fast?

Question:

Answers:
To lose 1 pound you will need to burn 3,500 calories more than you take in. That means you will need to burn a total of 35,000 calories beyond intake to lose the ten pounds.

Since all you need to lose is 10 pounds, a fast may be effective. If you are going to try to lose more than that you should not fast to do it. Fasting for extended periods of time can throw your body into ketosis. Ketosis is a goal in the Atkin's diet (high protein, low carbs), but it does have its risks. If you have any hint of problems with your kidney, do not attempt rapid weight loss. Take it slow and easy, 2 pound a week.

I fasted (just drank ice water and took vitamins) a few weeks ago for three days and lost 6 pounds. It was not for a diet though, so I didn't push on past my 3 day target date. I stayed pretty busy until day three when I was a bit too shaky to stay as active as I had been.

Here is a fasting, no exercise scenario just using the numbers - Let's assume you are a 5'8" woman weighing 190 pounds. Your body will burn 2061 calories/day for low activity levels. It would take a 16 day fast. Now, boost up the activity level during the fast and it will come off faster. You can burn an extra 876 calories per hour by jogging. Slow to a fast walk or stay busy with active housework and you will burn an extra 480 calories.

If you cannot fast, foods that work well with diest are the ones rich in vitamin C and calcium but low in calories (cataloupe is a good one). You can boost your metabolism with diet soda that includes caffiene. Spicy foods and foods high in Omega 3 fatty acids (salmon and tuna) have proven to be effective too.

Cut carbs and you can loose 10 lbs. in 2 weeks or less.

Workin' out 3 days a week for 1 and a half months

stop eating

ten pounds in a week or a month. in two months after you start being avegetarian and fruitarian with 15 minutes daily exercise

drink plenty of water to keep hunger at bay then do plenty of exercise.

the question is, do you want to do it the healthy way or the other way? You could reduce dramatically your caloric intake (eat like a bird, a tiny one that is) and watch out for refined sugar since it makes your body retain water. You'll loose fast. You will gain the weight back as fast as you lost it, so if you want long term results do it the healthy way, eat right and exercise.

Very low carb or no carbs and brisk walking for an hour a day.

starve yourself

I had a girl ask me once how she could lose 10 lbs of ugly fat. I told her to cut off her head.
