How to lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks

How to lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks.

For most dieters, the last 10 pounds are the toughest to drop.

But you can lose these pounds in three weeks if you are committed and disciplined.

Eat less — but more often — each day.

Starving yourself to lose weight only creates a physiological desire for high-fat, high-sugar foods.

Eat five small meals, one every three-and-a-half hours.

Each meal must contain a high-quality protein…

Examples: Nonfat yogurt with raw oatmeal or cereal mixed in…

scrambled egg whites with vegetables and diced potatoes…

a lean roast beef sandwich with Romaine lettuce…

steamed vegetables and brown rice with black beans.

If you cannot eat five times a day, drink a “replacement meal product,” such as Met-Rx or Lean Body.

Avoid diet shakes, many of which contain too much sugar.

The secret to sticking with this diet is knowing exactly what you’re going to eat each day.

Plan meals and snacks the night before.

Bring two or three mini-meals to work, so that you aren’t tempted to break your diet.

Not all healthful snacks are low in fat and calories.

Example: Apples, pears and strawberries are low in sugar calories…

but peaches, bananas and pineapples are much higher.

Make time for 45 to 60 minutes of cardiovascular exercise each day.

Weight-training is also an important part of your exercise program.

and muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue.

Spend 45 minutes, four days a week, with either free weights or weight machines.

Don’t let anger become an excuse to eat.

When you’re stressed, stop and ask yourself what happened to upset you…

and if food will actually help or hurt.

By taking a breather and quieting your mind, you’ll realize the futility of using food for emotional relief.

How to lose 10 pounds in a year

Make One Change to Lose 10 Pounds In a Year

It takes about 3,500 extra calories to gain a pound. Break that into smaller bites and 100 extra

calories a day can put on about 10 pounds a year!

The good news is losing 10 pounds can be as easy as eating 100 calories less each day for a year.

The ideas below not only will help with weight loss, but make what you eat healthier for you!

1. Substitute a 12-ounce can of a diet soft drink at 1 calorie for a similar amount of a regular

soft drink at 150 calories. Or, drink a glass of cold water with a slice of lemon or lime

instead!

2. Instead of drinking 2 cups (16 ounces) of whole milk, switch to 2 cups of non-fat or 1 %

milk (300 vs. 200 calories for the skinnier milk).

3. Dress, don’t drown your salad. If you’ve been using 3 (or more) tablespoons of regular

salad dressing per 2 cups of salad, try cutting back to 1½ tablespoons or less of dressing

or use a non-fat dressing.

4. Switch from 2 tablespoons of regular mayonnaise to 2 tablespoons of fat-free

mayonnaise (Saves 100 calories).

5. If you’ve been drinking from a 21-ounce container of a regular soft drink, switch to a
12-ounce size (110 vs. 210 calories).

Best and worst protein shakes for weight loss

Best and worst protein shakes for weight loss

Ready to drink shakes, meal replacement shakes, and protein shakes, are a great way to boost metabolism, control calories, control cravings, boost protein intake, and boost metabolism, but not all shakes are created equal.

Some are very high in protein, others are balanced, and while others have too much sugar.

You have to find the perfect fit for your lifestyle and your body to get great results.

Check out the most popular brands and learn what’s good and what’s bad about them.

Most Popular And Worst For You: Slim-Fast Optima Ready To Drink.

This shake is a much improved version of their previous product but unfortunately it’s still a poor choice.

The ingredients list is a weight gain nightmare with sugar, cocoa, fructose, and other crap at the very top of the list.

They’ve reduced the sugar by 50% and it still averages about 24g of carbs of which 17g are sugar.

It has 10g of protein more than likely coming from the fat free milk and about 190 calories which isn’t enough to sustain even the least active person.

Perhaps the only saving grace is that it has 5g of fat which might prevent serious hunger and cravings.

This is a terrible choice for people serious about losing fat and getting healthy.

Yes it’s cheap but you get what you pay for!

Tastes Yuk But Best Choice for Serious Losers: Metrx Protein Shake.

This is a great option for fitness buffs and dieters who like to eat very healthy and who really care about the quality of the food they eat.

The only problem here is they have no ready to drink options for people with moderate protein needs (if you are lifting weights regularly and you can handle more protein at one meal then their Ultra Pure Protein Drinks, 12 cans with 35g of protein is a great choice).

Bonus: because it’s less popular than the Myoplex brand it’s usually on sale!

Awesome Taste & Easy To Find: Myoplex Lite Ready To Drink.

This shake provides a good balance of carbs, fiber, sugar, and protein all for very low calories.

This is a great option if you’re trying to incorporate 5-6 small meals a day, if you’re trying to learn portion control, and if you are typically pressed for time.

Best Choice For The Make It Yourself Crowd: 100% Whey Protein.

It’s loaded with all kinds of nutrients and amino acids that most people lack in their diet and it mixes great with regular milk or soy milk, all kinds of fruit and fruit juices, in oatmeal and yogurt as well.

It’s the best powder around for making the kind of shakes recommended in programs like The Abs Diet, You On A Diet, The 3 Hour Diet, etc.

Meal replacement bars and protein shakes are effective at controlling hunger

Meal replacement bars and protein shakes are effective at controlling hunger

Americans Feel They’re Starving Themselves While Dieting.  Survey Results for the Second Year Confirm Dieters’ Ongoing Struggles Slim-Fast Helps, with Meal Replacement Bars and Shakes that Control Hunger for up to Four Hours.

For the second year in a row, a survey from TSC, a division of Yankelovich reports that at any one time almost 2/3rds of Americans are on a diet.

The survey reveals that two in three people admit that hunger causes them to cheat on their diet, and in fact a majority of dieters (56%) feel there are times when they are “starving themselves to death.”

Slim-Fast has just made dieting a whole lot easier with the announcement that in 2007, ALL Slim-Fast meal replacement shakes and bars are clinically proven to control hunger for up to four hours.

The comprehensive consumer survey found that over half of people surveyed (55%) felt they could do a better job of keeping their weight under control if they could go longer after eating a meal without being hungry.

Additionally, 1/3 of respondents (31%) say that they feel hungry only three hours after eating breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Additionally 70% of American women currently trying to diet said that the most important item of clothing that inspired them to lose weight was their jeans.

To that end, Slim-Fast is launching a national sweepstakes, challenging America to “Zip Up Your Hunger,” in partnership with Levi’s Strauss Signature®.

“Jeans are a great motivator for losing weight, and we know that hunger is a significant impediment to success for many people.

For many, fitting into their favorite pair of jeans IS their primary weight loss goal, that’s why it is no surprise that nearly half of women surveyed feel that losing a clothing size is more important than the amount of pounds,” says Patricia Groziak, M.S., R.D., Unilever Senior Manager, Medical Marketing for Slim-Fast.

“With four hours of hunger control in every Slim-Fast meal replacement product, and the additional motivation of a national sweepstakes, we believe consumers will have important tools to help them meet their weight loss goals.”

Last year Slim-Fast reformulated the Slim-Fast Optima shake.

It is the first of its kind as a new option for weight loss using a unique, proprietary blend of common food ingredients — namely fats and proteins — in a great tasting shake with a nutritionally balanced formula.

Americans are time-stretched and rushing to get a healthy meal on the run, which leads many people to rely on unhealthy versions of fast food and convenience foods.

Slim-Fast Shakes and Meal Bars are truly Meals On-The-Go that can go anywhere with no preparation or cooking needed.

And the Slim-Fast Optima Diet is simple to follow-simply replace breakfast with a Slim-Fast Meal, combine a Slim-Fast Meal with a 200-calorie healthy food choice at lunch, dine on a Sensible Meal at dinner, and snack on fruits, vegetables or portion-controlled, satisfying snacks between meals.
