There are hundreds of ways to lose weight quickly. 95% of them, however, don't work very well. In this hub I'm going to show you some of the best ways to speed up your metabolism, burn fat, and lose up to 10 pounds in just one week. And there is no starvation diet or "extreme" exercise routine involved. There are also definitely no expensive or dangerous "fat burners" or diet pills. Just a few "healthy" weight loss techniques involving the best diet, workout, and safe supplementation methods around. Here we go...

The tips below are all based on science and shown to help anyone lose 10 pounds in one week...

Cut Out All Processed Foods -- Starting today eat only foods that are 100% unprocessed. That means no refined sugars, flours, or fats. No junk food. No breads, cereals, pastas, etc. Almost nothing that comes in a box or bag. Besides drastically cutting your calorie intake you'll get your blood sugar levels and insulin production under control, making it A LOT easier to lose fat fast!


Follow the Best Diet Plan -- The best diet for losing 10 pounds in a week is one based around natural, unprocessed foods. Mainly meats, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, vegetables, raw fruits, and beans/legumes. Small amounts of unrefined oils like extra-virgin olive oil and coconut oil are also ok since your body will need some "good" fat to speed up its metabolism.


Base Your Meals Around Protein -- Every meal and snack you eat needs to be based around a protein source. This will help keep your metabolism stoked, your energy levels high, and your appetite under control.


Eat Lots of Fiber -- Natural fiber-rich foods are one of the best thing you can eat for faster, easier weight loss. Veggies, fruits, beans, and legumes fill your stomach so your brain thinks you've eaten much more than you have. Plus these foods are full of metabolism-boosting vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other important nutrients.


Keep Starches to a Minimum -- Most people lose weight much faster and more easily if they limit their intake of starchy carbs. That means no potatoes, rice, bread, etc. The only starch you should consume during this week is the healthy low glycemic index starch found in beans and legumes.


Drink Lots of Water, and Only Water -- If you want to lose 10 lbs in 7 days you're going to need to start drinking lots of water... up to a gallon or more each day. Being well-hydrated helps your body flush out toxins, shed weight quickly, and helps keep hunger to a minimum. Avoid all beverages that contain calories, especially any that contain sugar. Sugar-free tea and unsweetened sparkling water drinks are fine as well.

Eat 6 Times a Day -- Try to eat 6 small meals and snack per day, spaced about 2-3 hours apart. Make sure they're all based around protein, non-starchy carbs, and only healthy fats. A handful of roasted almonds and a large apple is a good example of a quick and easy meal/snack. Eating like this will keep hunger down, help you avoid food cravings, and allow you to maintain a fast metabolism.


Do Full-Body Strength Training -- 2 to 4 times a week do a short, intense workout based around compound/multi-joint resistance exercises. Try to work all or at least most of the major muscle groups during your workouts. Focus on big exercise like squats, lunges, pushups, pullups, etc. You'll burn a ton of fat, stimulate lean muscle growth, and boost your metabolism naturally so that you burn more calories even when you're asleep!


Do Interval-Based Cardio -- Do some form of interval-based cardio several times, either by itself or (even better) after your full-body strength training workouts. Brief, interval-based cardio workouts -- such as HIIT -- are among the best for burning fat fast and helping anyone lose 10 pounds in a week or so. Keep them between 10 and 20 minutes in length and don't try to do too much, especially if you're not in good shape. Just a small amount of interval work can make a big difference in your rate of fat loss!


Take the Best Support Supplements -- Most diet pills and weight loss supplements simply don't work very well. But there are a few proven supplements that support faster, healthier weight loss. Some of the best include whey protein powder, multivitamin formulas, omega 3 fats (e.g. fish oil or flax seed), green tea extract, and natural caffeine sources. The whey, multivitamins, and omega 3's help to support your body while cutting calories and doing intense workouts. They may even speed up fat loss. The green tea extract and natural caffeine should only be taken before workouts (about 30 minutes prior) and can help your body burn more of its stored fat for energy.


So there you go: 10 of the best tips for losing 10 pounds in one week. They're all proven and they will all work if you really use them. It's best to try and use them all together as they can produce a "synergistic" effect that will be extremely powerful for burning fat and reducing pounds safely within 6 or 7 days.
