How to Lose 10 Pounds of Fat in 15 Days
These are the top 5 things that I have found to work best for losing body fat quickly. When it comes to melting away the lard, this is my A-list. Do this for two weeks and see what happens.
- Get another 1-2 hours more sleep each night than you currently do. Naps are good. Minimize stress. Stress makes your body store fat.
- Don’t drink water when you’re eating. That messes your body’s ability to absorb nutrients. Instead, drink water between meals and as soon as you wake up. Drink at least ONE GALLON per day.
- Eat no more food at each meal than you can hold in both hands. Do that six times per day and chew it slowly. Make sure you eat a big salad at least once per day. Oil and vinegar dressings are fine.
- Do heavy, weight bearing exercises at least 3 times per week with light stretching every morning as soon as you wake up. Do 45 minutes of cardio daily so that you sweat like crazy.
- Eliminate or dramatically reduce booze (the hardest part for me since I like wine so much!) and sugars.
Sound simple? Actually it is.
Boring. Yes. Intensely boring. Worth it?
Yes. If you stick to these basics, you will see the difference. It’s what Hollywood does. It’s what you see in all those magazines at the supermarket. I’ve done it a few times and it works.
The problem with the discipline of getting lean, is that it requires two things most people don’t like: consistency and planning.
However, once you get the hang of these simple lifestyle habits, they are easy and the health, longevity and cosmetic benefits are totally worth it.
Close to twenty years of learning how to build muscle and lose fat have taught me they almost always go together. Yet, lately, it seems that people are more interested in losing fat lately.
Proof of this is in the chart below. This comes from Google’s Trend Labs site, comparing search volume for the two searches: “how to lose fat” vs “how to build muscle”.
This post is likely just the starting point for further conversation around each of the starting points. I would be pleased to write a post on each of the above points….
