Losing five pounds this week doesn't require starvation! It just depends on how much you want to lose, how much you currently weight and how much you're willing to work for weight loss.
Keep in mind that with shows like The Biggest Loser your expectations might be too high.
Most of the folks on The Biggest Loser are significantly overweight and do not exercise on a regular basis making rapid weight loss much easier for them.
It is important to know that losing a lot of weight in one week will most likely just be water weight, but is a good motivator for long term weight loss.
Five pounds every week is not healthy long term.
With all that said, are you ready to find out how you could lose up to five pounds this week? First, you need to take all refined carbohydrates and sugar out of your diet.
Stop eating white flour and excess sweets.
This will only make weight loss much harder.
Your diet should be simple and plentiful, do not starve yourself! Starving yourself will only make weight loss harder as your body will work to keep you from burning excess weight.
Eating plenty of lean meat, low fat dairy, and vegetables should be what you are eating.
Fat should be limited to olive oil in small quantities.
You should participate in exercise on a daily basis, taking one day off.
Participate in forty five minutes of cardio as well as strength training and toning exercises.
Within a week you will see a lower number on the scale!
