Do you
want to lose 6 pounds quickly? While
many diets are geared at people who want to lose 20 pounds or more, the plan
I’m presenting here will help you lose 6 pounds quickly – perhaps in just one
week.
The
first thing you want to do is clear out your pantry of all the foods that make
you fat. Clean out your refrigerator and
throw things away. Donate the packaged
food in your pantry to a local food bank.
Then,
go to the grocery store and buy the following sixteen things only:
1. Whole wheat bread
2. Tuna
3. Any and all fruits
4. Any and all vegetables
5. 8 oz. steak
6. Two chicken breasts
7. Salad vegetables
8. Balsamic vinegar
9. Special K Cereal
10. Skim milk
11. Brown rice
12. Instant oatmeal (not the sweetened
packaged kind though)
13. Sliced turkey breast
14. 3 servings of fish
15. Low fat yogurt
16. Eggs
Using
these foods as the basis for your diet, write out a diet plan for the next
seven days. After that, you will be
fully committed to sticking to it. Part
of the motivation for clearing out your kitchen ahead of time is that there
will not be any food that you can “cheat” with.
Next,
you want to get a pedometer and make sure that you walk at least 10,000 steps
each day. That may seem like a lot, but
here are some ways that you can get extra steps in.
1. Park far away from the front door of
your work or a store. Not only will you
get extra steps in, but you will have a much easier time parking.
2. Take the stairs instead of the
elevator. If you work above the fourth
floor, get off of the elevator at least two floors early and walk the rest of
the way.
3. When you have to contact a colleague at
work, don’t phone or email them, walk over to their office or desk.
4. If you take the bus or other form of
mass transportation, get off a stop or two early and walk.
5. Walk the dog. If you don’t have a dog, volunteer to walk
the neighbor’s dog.
6. Take a walk before dinner. Not only will you increase the number of
steps you take that day, but a walk before dinner will reduce your appetite.
Finally,
try to drink at least eight, 8 ounce glasses of water each day when you are
trying to lose weight. You can do this
by drinking one liter of water at work and another liter at home. If you don’t like water plain, it is okay to
substitute unsweetened iced tea or sugar free lemonade or punch.
It is
possible to lose 6 pounds in a week. Try
radically altering your diet, walking more, and drinking a substantial amount
of water. It’s not a lifetime that you
will be restricted to this plan, it’s just a week. And, you’ll be able to lose 6 pounds in that
time.
