Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks- how would you like to weigh 10 pounds less two weeks from now? It seems like a tall order, but it's most definitely possible - all it takes is some knowledge and a little hard work on your part. Check out the rest of this article to find out how to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks.

1

The first step is to become a real calorie accountant - if you want to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks, make like the IRS and try and account for every calorie you eat. The reason for this is that a single pound in weight is made up of around 3500 calories - that is if you can get rid of 3500 calories, either by eating less or exercising, you'll be a pound lighter.

2

Get exercising. You should know by now that you need to either burn 35000 calories through exercise, or remove them from your diet in order to get rid of those 10 pounds. An average sized person weighing 160 lbs burns 300+ calories in a half hour of running at a gentle speed. It's not unusual to see people lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks, or even more, with the right amount of exercise. If you're heavier than that, it's much more, but you can see how some regular exercise combined with watching your food can really take the pounds off.

Don't ban any foods outright. If you are a lover of chocolate cake for example, it's going to be tough to get thinner by eating it all the time, but if you cut it out of your diet altogether you will crave it all the time, making things 10 times tougher. The answer? Only give yourself chocolate cake as a reward when you hit one of your weight loss goals - if you are trying to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks, why not reward yourself with a slice of cake after the first week?

Be persistent. Trying to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks is a huge task, and to be honest it's not altogether healthy to be losing such an amount of weight in a short time. A more healthy time frame would be 4 or 5 weeks, which would give your body time to adjust to the changes it is experiencing. If you don't manage to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks, don't worry, just keep going. You should have seen some great results by then which will give you the motivation to continue.

Trying to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks is a much tougher goal than you may first think, so good luck in your efforts and I hope this was useful. Check out the links below for some great tips.
