Here are 5 tips to help you lose 5 pounds in just five days...1. Do a 1 or 2 day lemon/lime water fast.
For one or two days drink nothing but pure water with fresh lemon or lime juice squeezed into it. This is an amazingly refreshing and simple way to detoxify your body and jump-start your metabolism for fast weight loss. It will also be good for 1 or 2 pounds of "easy" weight loss.
2. Eat a plant and protein diet. After your lemon/lime water fast, eat nothing but "plants and protein"... in other words, plant foods and lean proteins, such as lean meat. Almost all of your calories should come from unprocessed whole foods: raw and lightly cooked veggies, lean meats or other lean proteins, raw nuts and seeds, fish, avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, etc.
One or two pieces of raw fruit should be eaten daily as well. A daily whey protein shake is a good idea too! Avoid grain, potatoes, and other starchy carbs during this time.
3. Drink a gallon or more of water per day. This will flush and cleanse your body while helping to reduce "water weight" at the same time. It will also keep your metabolism and energy levels high.
4. Do a couple full-body "combo" workouts. Do workouts consisting of both full-body strength training and high intensity cardio exercise. This will help to crank up your metabolism, burn lots of calories and body fat, and tone your muscles so you look better.
5. Take the right supplements. Certain supplements can help you lose weight faster. When you only have 5 days to lose 5 pounds they can certainly come in handy. Some of the best options are: whey protein, omega 3 fats, multivitamins, green tea extract, and natural caffeine from guarana or kola nut.
