Lose Weight In A Week

Can It Be Done?

Are you feasting like crazy? Whenever the holiday season comes back around, you can bet plenty of people gain weight. This is the standard operating procedure for many Americans. We consume loads of fatty foods, sides, snacks, and desserts. It's like we become bottomless pits for a couple weeks. Nothing can ultimately satisfy us except for constantly eating more food.

What a great way to ring in the New Year. Nothing says happy New Year like a bursting belly and a new set of love handles. But, you're not going to fall into this trap, are you? Uh uh, you're going to steer clear of the mounds of fat producing food. Now, if you could only lose wieght in a week before family and guests arrive to celebrate. Can it be done? Read on.

Wah Wah Wah

When I hear of people whining and complaining about losing pounds, I recall how MMA competitors train. Mixed martial artists compete in UFC and other fighting events and sometimes they have to drop weight to meet a particular goal. They might be competing on the Ultimate Fighter reality series and were chosen to fight. Now, these guys know how to lose weight in a week. Actually more like a couple of days. I've seen one competitor lose 14 pounds in two days. That's unbelievable, I know; but they do it.

We're talking lots of sauna time, working out, water and very little food. It doesn't sound too fun if you ask me, but as you can see, it can be done. You can lose weight in a week if that's what you truly want. Now, let's think about this course of action on a healthy level. Clearly you want to avoid eating nothing at all. We've all got to consume some food and water every day.

Get Down To Business

For starters you should cut meal portions way down. Eat four or five small meals each day and drink plenty of water. Prepare or purchase meals that consist of lean sources of protein, fresh vegetables and fruit. If you haven't tried whey protein shakes, it's time you did. This is a good source of protein which acts as a meal substitute. It has very few carbs and little fat.

Exercising is obviously required if you plan to lose weight in a week. Cardio workouts should be your priority. Commit to high energy workouts on ellipticals, treadmills or stationary bikes. Burn as many calories as you're comfortable with and eat very little. You will lose wieght in a week.
