Hi all,
I have gained several pounds due to sitting and studying throughout the day and not exercising but need to get into shape because I have weddings coming up that I am a big part of. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to loose weight (like 10 pounds of so) in about 3 weeks?
I know, I know it’s not the healthiest however I am getting pretty desperate here.
Help is much appreciated.
Regards,
AKB
Re: Help/guidance/suggestions for weight loss
well, 10 lbs in 3 weeks is a pretty hectic number. your gonna have to be VERY STRICT
-increase your intake of protein and decrease your intake of carbs. this is actually the number one rule of the South Beach diet, which is very successful.
-take out ALL JUNK from your daily routine. this includes juice. although its healthy for you, it is very high in sugar. instead, eat an orange or apple, since u get the juice along with the fiber.
drinks LOTS of water. i'm talking 8 full glasses. and do NOT drink anything but water (and milk) that means NO soda. not even diet.
stay away from potatoes, corn, carrots, and other super sweet veges, as they have alot of sugar. go for broccoli, spinach, asparagas, artichokes, these are VERY filling and healthy.
eat fruits like watermelon, apples, oranges, strawberries, grapefruit
eat lots and lots of salad (with a side of chicken or fish) cuz u have to keep your protein energy up....
i hope this helps!
EDIT- oh yea, of course..EXCERCISE!!!! even if its a couple of laps around the block or 2-4 turns up and down your house stairs, it all adds up
