If you have a big event coming up like a gala ball at the largest venue in your city or your daughters third birthday party you may want to slim down a little.
But how to do it? How to drop those 5 pounds by next week?
Do This … Lose 5 Pounds
Drink Water and Nothing Else
A sports or energy drink, fruit smoothie, or light beer — each serving of any of these contains about 100 calories. If you need to have an energy boost drink coffee instead, see item below.
Don’t Eat White Bread and Pasta
Cutting out all white grain products — such as white rice, spaghetti, sandwich rolls — will instantly slim you down because the simple carbs in these foods cause bloating, especially around your belly. If you feel the need for grains eat barley, oats or brown rice.
Get into a Cardio Workout 30 Minutes a Day
Any workout that gets your heart rate up will burn calories. Activities like running, cycling, rowing and swimming will help you to feel good, look toned and burn some calories too.
Drink Coffee an Hour Before Working Out
This is the one exception to the stick-to-water-only rule: Just as a coffee run makes your morning at work more productive, a pre-exercise cup of java with a splash of skim milk (about 11 calories) or black (just 5 calories) will energize your workout. Just don’t load your coffee with sugar.
Do 36 Push-Ups and Lunges Every Other Day
These gym-class staples will help sculpt muscle, so you’ll sport a more streamlined appearance. Do three sets of 12 of each exercise every other day.
Sleep 30 Minutes More a Night
That extra half an hour, whether you sleep 5 hours or 8, can refresh you enough that you will make better food choices (in other words, no quick sugar fix for breakfast in search of energy) and won’t feel lethargic and skip the gym
Have You-on-Top Sex for the Next Week … or More
Not that you needed an excuse to hook up with your guy every night, but the fact is, this position is a fat blaster. Do it long and well and burn calories.
Make One Food Sacrifice
Cutting out one eating indulgence that is normal for you — such as the chips you have with lunch or the chocolate dessert you eat after dinner — can subtract several hundred calories per week from your diet.
Do Squats and Sit-Ups
Bodybuilders use this technique before competitions because it adds definition to muscle.
Pop an Antigas Pill
Take one of these chewable tablets, sold over-the-counter at drugstores, to relieve bloating in your abdomen and break up gas bubbles in your digestive track, leaving you with a flatter tummy.
This should work for you short-term at least, I hope it foes if you’re in a hurry, but to lose more weight and for long lasting weight loss look at this post
