THE REAL SECRET OF LOSING WEIGHT
Maintaining a healthy
weight is an ongoing, life-long pursuit. But sometimes you need to shed a few
pesky pounds quickly -- whether it's to meet a weight requirement, feel better
in a bikini, or fit into your dream wedding dress. If you're looking for a few
quick tips on how to get rid of bulk and water weight in 3 days, look no
further! Remember, though, that there's only so much one can safely do in 3
days to slim down. To really shed calories, burn fat, build muscle, and achieve
longer lasting results, you'll have to tackle some bigger dietary and lifestyle
changes. But, don't worry, we’ll be showing you some tips, too!
Go on a 3-day juice cleanse. This type of “fad diet” has you replace food, or
most of your food, with fresh-pressed fruit and vegetable juices. Most medical
sources remain skeptical about the long-term effectiveness of such diets, but
if you're looking to shed some pounds fast for an upcoming event or occasion,
these quick fixes might work well for your specific needs.
· Start your day with a glass of lukewarm water and lemon to jump-start your
metabolism.
·
Have a serving (8-10 ounces) of fresh-pressed juice every 2-3 hours to keep
you metabolism up and your hunger down. You’re aiming for approximately 32 to
96 ounces of juice a day, with at least half of this amount coming from green
vegetables.
·
You can also work in some nut milk to stave off cravings and increase your
protein consumption.
·
Make sure that all the products going into your juice are organic so that
you’re not ingesting any harmful pesticides or added elements.
·
Eliminate dairy, wheat, gluten, fermented foods, coffee and alcohol. These
foods can be difficult to digest and will not fall well on your stomach during
a juice cleanse.
·
Keep exercise light and moderate, and get plenty of sleep while on this
3-day cleanse.
Consider a 3-day fast. Some research has shown
that drinking only water and limiting yourself to less than 200 calories per
day for only 3 days can help you reboot your immune system in addition to
dropping some quick pounds.
·
This form of “forced starvation” depletes your energy reserves (in the form
of glycogen), which triggers your body to recycle and then create new immune
cells once your finish the fast.
·
Warning! Fasting can be harmful,
especially for young or old people, or for those with other health problems. If
you’re seriously thinking of trying a 3-day fast, you should consult your
doctor first.
