Keep in mind much of the weight you drop during this time could be water weight. Once you return to your regular diet and exercise routine, the weight lost might return. This can trigger side effects, such as constipation, headaches, dizziness, and irritability. Doing so over an extended period of time can cause irreparable harm to the body. A diet extreme enough to lose 10 pounds in 10 days should be used only on occasion, such as for a special event or unusual circumstance.
Tips:
- Eat Smaller Meals. Alter your eating plan so you are consuming four or five smaller meals throughout the day instead of the usual three. Eating three meals leaves more time between eating and results in your blood sugar dropping. You also feel hungrier. Smaller, more frequent meals keep your metabolism fired up and prevent binging.
- Eat Moderately. Sticking to a restrictive eating plan can be tough. If you go all day without eating much, there is a tendency to binge in the evening. Spread your calories throughout the day, so you reduce your desire to eat a lot in the evening.
- Eat More Vegetables and Fruits. Fruits and vegetables are low in calories, but they help keep you full. They are also filled with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Some even increase fat burning.
- Have More Lean Meat and Eggs. Studies show increasing your consumption of vitamin B12, found in lean meat and eggs, speeds fat loss. Eggs, lean meats, and fish are healthy and protein-rich, which also helps satisfy your appetite.

2. Increase Water Intake
Drinking plenty of water is one of the best things you can do to help you lose weight. It flushes toxins from the body and keeps you hydrated. A tall glass of water first thing in the morning kick-starts your metabolism. Drinking plenty of water also helps you feel full. The liver (which helps metabolize fat) works closely with the kidneys, which need plenty of water to perform their everyday function. Keeping your kidneys well hydrated helps your liver perform better, which means faster fat loss.
