Can anyone tell me a good way to lose 10lbs?

Question

Just wanting to lose 10 lbs, to get to my target weight. Anyone have any good suggestions?

Answer 1

Eat less. Exercise more.

Answer 2

Eat more often, in less amounts (this will keep your metabolism running throughout the day, and will help you burn more calories from what you eat rather than just store it for fat).
Eat plenty of complex carbs, fiber, and protein.
Eat good fat (found in avocados, peanuts, etc).
Avoid salt and alcohol.
Drink plenty of water.
Exercise (I'm not talking running 2 miles a day. Just get out and walk, or lift some weights. Go out dancing, do something physical.)

That would be a way to lose 10lbs and keep it off for good. It's all about changing your lifestyle, not necessarily about how much you eat. Most other methods and fad diets might help you lost weight quickly, but it will be very difficult for you to keep it off (you will probably gain the 10lbs you lost, and then some, a couple of weeks/months later).

Good luck to you and stay motivated.

Answer 3

Eat less carbohydrates, replace with lean meats diet.
Exercise a lot. If you lack of motivation, try walk anywhere if distant permitted. I walk to work from uptown to downtown 5 days a week for the last 15 yrs and 1.5 hr per day each way. I drive only weekend when cottage is 3 hrs driving distant. For the last 15 years, only sick twice and see doc only once. My weight is always constant. I hope that may helpful hint for you, especially losing 10 Ibs is pretty easy thing.
Cheer.

Answer 4

In my opinion, the best way to lose ten pounds is to not say you are on a diet. If you say you are on a diet, it doesn't work. Drink as much water as you can. Walk alot. Try eating some fruits and veggies. Get alot of sleep and try to keep active. Go upstairs even if you dont have to. Walk around your house. Vaccuum often. Do stuff like that. And try to find things that make you happy. Try not to be sad or depressed. Good luck.

Answer 5

Make small lifestyle changes. Weight lost fast, comes back on faster. Drink more water, try to get 10 more minutes of exercise a daily, eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 large.

Answer 6

Drop all sugar, corn syrup and other sweeteners form your diet. My wife did and with no other changes dropped five pounds in a week without even trying.

You'd be amazed how many empty calories you eat in sweeteners.

After a little while being sweetener free, you lose the desire for excessively sweet foods, and when you reintroduce sugar, you'll find yourself using a fraction of what you had in the past.

Answer 7

One sure fire way is to eliminate processed sugars from your diet, allow yourself one cheat day a week if you have a real weakness, but eventually the desire of sweets will disappear. It has worked for me thus far. I started this about a month ago and so far I have lost about 8 lbs. Good luck

Answer 8

I have a friend that recently joined Jenney Craig and lost 8 lbs. in 2 weeks just by eating the food they recommend.

Answer 9

Walking has got to be the easiest way to trim off the fat. Walk quickly, build up a sweat, get your heartrate up. The link below is a very cool site, the activity calculator is awesome it tells you how many calories are burned for like 200 different activities for any amount of time you enter , activities include housework, walking, jogging , rowing, coal mining, sitting in your ofice, bicycling, dancing, painting, gardening, child care, ironing, firefighting, sitting in class and many many more. Target training your abdominals won't be nearly as effective as a brisk walk everyday, with crunches and leg raises you will certainly tone your abs but you still wont see them because they will still be covered in fat. Walk walk walk its much easier than crunches or leg raises, when you trim the fat off then you can target train to tone them up(but I bet you wont need to). Please trust me on this. You wont need to walk many many miles, I live on an old radar base (pine tree line) and it takes me 16 minutes to do 1 lap around it. I sacrificed some TV time at night to get rest so I can get up earlier in the morning(6am) and go for 1 or 2 laps before breakfast(gonna make a commitment to do 4 laps in less than an hour every day) I have 2 kids whom I spend alot of time with so I have to "sacrifice" my own time at night to "invest" in my own health and longevity.

Answer 10

Cut Carbs

Answer 11

Fast walking with lots of liquids works fastest - bar none!
Start with a short distance, (maybe a mile or two), then progress up to five or more every other day!
(Oh yeah, if ya want it faster, drink water with a tablespoon or two of apple-cider vinegar in it as often as you can!.. it's natural, it burns fat quickly and... it sterilizes your digestive tract as a nice little aside!).
