1. Do a 1-day lemon water/fruit fast.Detoxify your body, boost your energy, jumpstart your metabolism, and lose a pound or two (mostly from "water" weight) by consuming nothing but lemon water and organic fruit for 1 whole day, or 24 hours. Lemon water is simply pure water with fresh lemon (or lime) juice squeezed into it. Drink LOTS of the stuff. Add the natural sweetener stevia if you want, but no sugar or artificial sweeteners! Also, during the 24 hour period eat as much fresh, raw, organic fruit as you want.
2. Eat a protein + plant diet.
If you want to lose pounds fast, the best diet is one based on lean proteins and natural plant foods (e.g. veggies, raw fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, etc.). Avoid ALL processed foods... including anything containing refined sugars, flours, or fats. Also avoid grains (breads, cereals, pastas, etc.) and most starchy carbs, including potatoes, rice, etc. Make sure to get some healthy fats from fish, olive oil, coconut oil, nut butters, avocado, etc.
3. Do short, intense exercise sessions often.
Performing short, intense workouts often is the best way to exercise to lose pounds fast. An example of a great fat-burning, metabolism-boosting, body-transforming workout is:
- 5 min light warmup (break a sweat!)
- 15 min full-body strength training with moderate weights or just your own bodyweight
- 10 min high intensity interval training (HIIT) cardio
For the strength training, focus on compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups: pushups, pullups, row, squats, lunges, etc. For the cardio choose anything that allows you to do short high-intensity bursts of activity followed by brief periods of "active" recovery. A simple example is rounds of 10 second sprints followed by 30 seconds of light jogging or fast walking, done repeatedly for 7-10 minutes.
That's it. Do all the above on a regular basis (only fast a couple times a month) and you will lose 5, 10, 20, or more pounds very fast. Simple and it works incredibly well. Give it a try!
