Lose 5 Pounds per Week

If you want to lose 3-5 pounds per week, first thing you need is a good plan. I know losing 3 pounds doesn’t sound like much, but do the math to see how much lighter you can be in just a few months. Now, that I got you motivated, here are the essentials you should know...

Use Fiber and Water
You need to take advantage of the water plus fiber combination. Foods with a high amount of fiber will fill you up fast, meaning it will cause you to eat less without having to starve yourself. Meanwhile, the water will keep your body healthy and remove those food byproducts by flushing out of your system quickly. This is a “winning” weight loss technique.

Fats
You need to know the difference between “fat” and “trans fat.” I know they sound like they can’t be that much different, but trust me, they are. Trans fat have no useful purpose for your body. All it does is make you gain weight. Healthy essential fats on the other hand are great for your body. In fact, your body needs mono unsaturated fats in order to function on a daily basis. They can be found in items such as olive oil, nuts, seeds and fishes.

Fruits
You can’t go wrong with eating more fruits. It’s one of the most healthiest thing you can do for your body. So, make sure to buy plenty next time you go grocery shopping. Don’t eat the same fruit, for example apple, all the time. Try to mix it up. There is a large variety to choose from, so stuck yourself with just one.

To see how powerful fruits are, try an all fruit diet for about one week. They are high in fiber and essential nutrients and low in calories, too. This will surely cause you to lose 3-5 pounds in that one week. However, don’t do it for more than that. If you want to keep losing the weight, write yourself a balanced meal plan and exercise on a regular basis.
