Can You Really Lose 10 Pounds Fast?
So you look at the calendar and then in the mirror and think, is it possible to lose 10 pounds quickly and naturally without pills and crazy routines?
Whether it’s for a wedding, special event, to get into your bikini or just to feel better, losing those stubborn 10 pounds quickly can often be challenging for many. Here are three things you can do to lose at least 10 pounds fast.
First, it’s what you eat.
Regardless of how you look at it, the bottom line is that you have to choose your food well. You can’t just eat anything and expect to lose weight. One of the reasons why we gain weight is because the foods we eat really aren’t food. We’ve been conditioned to believe it’s food and think it’s food, but it’s not even close to food. You see, processed and prepared foods aren’t really food, they are ‘franken’ foods, denatured and combined ingredients into a big glob of something the food industry calls a meal.
Choosing fresh and natural foods give your body what it’s meant to have and helps release the extra weight the processed foods have accumulated over the years naturally. You don’t need to go out, just shop at your local farmers market or grocery store produce section and choose any of the hundreds of natural foods that we are meant to eat, that our bodies crave and that support our health. Adding more fresh foods into your diet alone will help you lose 10 pounds quickly since natural foods won’t allow you to gain fat and you won’t overeat. Your system will only allow you to eat what it needs and keep you healthy and at your optimal weight.
Second, you want to move.
Your body was designed to move and be active. Being sedentary is a product of the western lifestyle and making everything more convenient. Exercise is what most think about when moving, but you can be active in many other ways as well. Dancing, roller blading, hiking, gardening, manual labor, cleaning, walking and many other activities can burn calories and raise your heart rate. They can also help build muscle when lifting, pulling and pushing. Any activity that you can do for 30-60 minutes a day will not only help you lose weight, but it will make you feel better, feel like being more active regularly and increase your health. It’s a win-win-win.
Third, you have to get out of the way.
Getting out of the way means letting your body work the way it’s supposed to without all the ways we sabotage it. Stress, overeating, inadequate sleep, anger, pollution, toxins, processed foods, chemicals and anything that isn’t natural ‘gets in the way’ of the way our bodies work. This in turn puts stress on our system and makes it harder for it to do its jobs. When it can’t do it’s jobs, things get out of balance including gaining weight. In fact, not getting enough sleep and stress have alone been proven to be top reasons for extra weight gain.
By choosing foods that support your health, move your body regularly, and get out of the way and let your body work as it was intended, you will naturally lose weight. And not only will you lose those 10 pounds quickly, you’ll also gain more energy and feel great overall. To your best health!
