Lose 6 Pounds in 7 Days
Yes, losing 6 pounds in a week is possible. You will have to follow some guidelines and this article will explain in 6 doable steps.
First, let's make the calorie formula clear. To lose 6 pounds in a week you must burn 3000 more calories than you eat. The math says you have to burn about 475 extra calories a day to achieve this. You can burn the calories through diet or exercise. The best approach, of course is still a combination of both.
Heres how moving will get you burning those calories:
1. Get busy spring cleaning. You won't just get a clean house, you will burn some serious calories in the process. Clean the house intensely for some five hours and you can burn up to 575 calories . At this rate, a little over 5 hours of cleaning will allow you to burn all the calories needed - and some extra. But, beware that you dont want to compensate by eating more. Like we already said, the calories expended have to exceed the amount eaten.
2. Go skiing. Skiing is a fun activity to do in the winter. But, what is more, it burns a lot of calories. A 165 pound person will burn more than 12 calories a minute. Four hours of actual ski time (not including time spent on the lift or loafing in the ski lodge) will help you lose 6 pounds. Thats the best excuse Ive ever heard for a ski holiday!
3. Dont just sit the day away. Unfortunately, many of us sit in an office chair most of our work days, often in front of the computer. But realize we have options. Sit up or stand every 15 minutes to stretch. When you make a phone call, stand up and walk around. Not only will this make you more convincing over the phone, youll also be burning calories. And don't just send an email, walk over to your co workers cubicle if you have something to say. Fidgety at the desk? Don't let anyone stop you. This burns calories too. While these kind of strategies wont help you in one week, they will be effective over the long run.
The above examples cover activities, now let's go on to how you can effectively cut calories from food:
4. Try the Cabbage Soup Diet. On this diet, many people have lost up to at least 6 pounds in a week. You won't go hungry for it though. You can have all of the cabbage soup you want each day and a specified group of secondary foods. The cabbage soup staple is made of clear broth or V8 Juice, lots of cabbage, and your own choice of non-starchy vegetables.
5. Go on the Grapefruit Diet. This program completely bans carbohydrates. Each meal has to end with eating half a grapefruit - therefore its name.Breakfast consists of bacon, eggs and coffee. Lunch is a big salad and some meat. At dinner you can have more meat and non-starchy vegetables. Before retiring for the night, you have to drink 8 ounces of milk or tomato juice. Most people can lose up to 10 pounds on this program that can run to a maximum of 12 days. You should be able to lose 6 pounds, seven days into the diet.
6. Go vegetarian for a week.Removing meat and animal fats from your daily intake will really make you drop the pounds off quickly. Beans and legumes can stand in as your protein foods. Fruits and vegetables you can have plenty and often. Carbohydrates and starchy foods like bread and pasta are allowed, but in moderate portions.
