Tips to Lose Weight in a Week

Losing weight in just 7 days may seem impossible, but we have a proof that stamps that it is not impossible. Remember Glenn Mcgrath, the Aussie cricket player lost 7 kgs over 5 days of a test match in Chennai?

Tips to Lose Weight in a Week  

Drink like a Fish
Water, that is.  Water has zero calories and carbohydrates and little sodium, which makes it the perfect drink to lose weight. Besides, it flushes out impurities from the body and kick starts metabolism, keeping one's weight balanced. If you think it is too boring for your taste, add a few drops of lemon juice or a few mint leaves.


Burn more Calories than you Consume
You need to keep a calorie count of burned and consumed calories. Aim for burning 500 calories in a week which will help you burn a pound in one week. It is not healthy to aim for higher as it can leave you too strained to continue the next day.

Ban Carbonated Drinks
It can be easy to consider the sodas as ok as it is a drink. Nothing can be far from the truth. Sodas contain 150 calories in each can. As you are looking to burn more calories than consume, avoid them.

Have Healthful Snacks
If you are in the habit of regular snacking throughout the day than it is very difficult to lose weight in a week but by choosing a healthy alternatives for wafers, cookies or buns can help your cause. Ideally, cut vegetables to snack-size portions and carry them to work.

Control Cravings for Sweets
If you are used to having sweets and feel the craving for it, do not relent. Instead of cookies, candy or any other high calorie stuff, have a chewing gum. You will be able to satisfy your craving without the excess of empty calories found in sweets.

 

Exercise

Stick to those low impact calorie burning activities that suit your body. Never make the mistake of hoping for weight loss in 7 days with strenuous weight lifting for hours. You can do that after at least one month of preparation with mild exercises. These can also include simple changes in everyday behaviour. Park away from the door to walk more, take the stairs instead of elevator, take interest in walking or even taking a stroll in the garden. The purpose is to burn calories.
