If you want to lose a few pounds quickly, take the time to evaluate your eating habits. You can lose weight without picking up a single weight by making healthy changes to your nutrition. Take a look in your refrigerator and get rid of any junk food or hidden saboteurs that may prevent you from reaching your weight loss goals. Get ready to shed pounds.
Step 1
Set realistic goals. Start small with a goal like 5 lbs. lost over the next two weeks. To lose weight safely, aim for 1 to 2 lbs. per week.
Step 2
Eat healthy, all natural foods. Consume low-fat proteins to help build muscle and increase your metabolism, whole grains to increase energy levels and high-fiber fruits and vegetables to help keep you full and to prevent you from overeating.
Step 3
Drink lots of water. Aim for 1 gallon per day to keep your body hydrated and to eliminate the bloating caused by dehydration.
Step 4
Limit salt. Avoid high-sodium foods, like processed meats, packaged products like junk foods and pre-seasoned pastas, that cause bloating and water retention. Season your foods with spices and herbs. Stop using table salt for flavor.
Step 5
Cut back on dairy. Digesting the natural sugars in milk can be a challenge for the body and result in bloating.
