Eat food as close to it s natural state as possible. (Ex. veggies, fruits, beans, seeds, eggs, lean meat/not beef jerky or sandwich meats.) You don t want all those additives, preservatives, fats, food dyes, etc. They mess with your metabolism and toxify your body.Rule of thumb: If it comes in a wrapper, (meaning it s processed,) don t eat it!I would also limit cheese and meat since those are fattening and you can get your calcium and protein from other sources, like leafy greens, and quinoa.Just eat a little less than what you normally do, the goal is to not feel stuffed, just full. Eat many small meals throughout the day to keep the metabolism high and burning. You won t have to count calories, and you will lose weight. Do not starve yourself!! Starvation mode makes you lose muscle and makes you gain fat. When you eat again, your body will hoard fat and your lost muscle will be replaced by fat. Muscle is metabolically active and burns calories even while you are resting, so losing muscle from starving is detrimental. Also you become a skinny fat person, that looks disgusting because there is no muscle tone.If you get cravings, think of what it is you re craving: texture, taste?For example, you crave sweets. Eat fruit. Or drink vanilla almond milk. Or eat butternut squash or sweet potatoes. Or if you crave something salty, have nuts, or have tomatoes or cucumbers with salt.Crunchy, have nuts or seeds These are just some examples. If you crave chocolate, eat the 85% dark chocolate. You will get tons of antioxidants, and more chocolate to satisfy your craving with less junk.Do not drink pop, even diet pop. Diet foods are evil and all the artificial sweeteners WILL make you gain weight. Studies have proven this.Also, spot reducing does not work. You cannot spot reduce. Your body type might either be a pear, apple, hourglass, or rectangle. Losing weight will only make you a smaller version of that body type. Spot reducing exercises like squats will only build up the muscle and make it bigger, I suggest you balance out the problem by building up the muscles in the areas that you lack, making you more of an hourglass.Also exercise, constantly challenge your body and you will lose weight! Don��t buy into the acai berry, special K, or colon cleanse scams. They��re scams scams scams!!
I ve lost 3lbs in one day from fasting. I ve never done it for longer than 2days - in which I lost 5lbs. So....5 days, you could probably expect to lose about 10lbs. Each day you will lose slightly less weight because of the whole metabolism slowing thing. Please be careful - it can make you really sick when going for a long time. A friend of mine went for about 10 days and just suddenly started throwing up, even though there was nothing in her. And when you start to eat again, make sure you stick to really light things like veggies or soup, or even just a glass of milk so that your body gradually gets used to food again - if you eat too much at first then you risk being sick. Please be careful.
It ll flush the crap out of your system, but I would suggest eating little snacks like celery or pineapple or something if you are doing it for a long time. You should stop when you ve lost like 5ish. Don t do a liquid fast for more that 5 days because really going without food for that long won t give you the proper nourishment you need.
Exercise and diet are vital when losing weight, however just as vital is the necessity to flush out the insides. There will be as much as 20 lbs of unwanted weight in there that is NOT body fat, Luckily this can be flushed out simply with a new diet supplement on offer on a risk free trial at http://cleanse-colon.janes.pt. Give it a go - I did, and lost seventeen lbs!!!
