How To Lose 10 Pounds Lightning Fast! (5 Simple Tricks)

If you’ve been struggling with weight loss, you probably know how hard it can be.

Most people don’t have the time, energy, or willpower to stick with a diet and exercise plan for more than a couple of weeks.

But if you want to lose weight quickly, you don’t need more than a few weeks!

You just need to focus for a little bit of time and let your body handle the rest.

We’ve all heard that losing weight is 80% diet and only 20% exercise (or some other ratio like 70-30).

That seems pretty logical because you can’t outrun your fork.

But what if it doesn’t need to be this way?

What if you could lose 10 lbs pretty quickly with just a little bit of effort?

Wouldn’t that change everything?

I know for a fact that you can lose 10 pounds lightning-fast by making just a few small tweaks to your lifestyle, for a limited time – because I’ve done it!

If you need to get slim for a special event or by summer, try these quick weight loss tips to lose 10 pounds super fast!

1- Try intermittent fasting

The first way to lose ten pounds quickly is to try intermittent fasting!

With intermittent fasting, you eat all your day’s food within 8 hours and then don’t eat for 16 hours.

Initially, it’s challenging, but within a few days, your body will not only release extra weight, but you’ll also drop tons of weight!

You can lose 10 pounds in less than a month just by intermittent fasting.

You don’t even have to alter your diet!

Isn’t that great?!!

One thing about intermittent fasting that some people get wrong, however, is that if you plan to lose a lot of weight (more than 10 pounds), you will eventually have to do the real work of changing your lifestyle.

But you can absolutely lose 10 pounds or even more just by fasting down if you’re not quite ready to do all the steps to make sweeping changes.

 

2- Try the Smoothie Diet

If you need to lose weight really fast and jumpstart your fat loss process, check out the smoothie diet!  

It’s a weight loss program that includes all the tools you need, from a simple meal plan, quick & tasty smoothie recipes, and step-by-step instructions to walk you through the entire process.

It’s a three-week program but honestly, you will start to lose weight in just two or three days.

After one week you’ll be super happy. And if you make it to two weeks your mind will be completely blown!

When I first tried it I lost 4 pounds in just a few days, which was really cool. 

So depending on you and your body, you might be able to get the same or better results, even.

Check it out and see how it goes.

3- Try a plant-based diet

My all-time-favorite thing that works to not only help you shed weight fast but keep it off long-term is of course a plant-based diet!

It can be hard to get started – but it doesn’t have to be that deep.

Just by cutting out animal protein and processed food and adding tons of fruits, veggies, whole grains and such to your life, you’ll find that you will lose so much weight pretty much right away.

Then if you keep going you’ll drop even more!

The downside is that if you don’t know what you’re doing you might get overwhelmed.

It’s really worth the effort though!

You’ll feel SO good if you try it!

 

4- Try juicing

Juicing is a great way to lose weight because you’re drinking all of your fat-burning nutrients in liquid form.

The best thing about juicing is that it’s so easy!

It literally takes less than five minutes and the ingredients are super cheap: water, fruits, vegetables, and some greens if you feel like adding them as well.

Another great thing about juicing is that you don’t have to limit your juice intake, provided you put more vegetables than fruits into your juicer.

(Vegetables have lower calories).

Some people only have juice while losing weight.

Others may incorporate solid meals into the mix here and there.

It’s up to you how you approach juicing and weight loss.

It’s all about what works for you!

Just make sure you have a quality juicer because it can be tedious and inconvenient if you don’t!

 

5- Cut out sugar

If all the other methods are too strenuous for you to lose 10 pounds fast, you could have great success by cutting out added sugar.

Here are some tips for how to cut out sugar from your diet:

  • Drink water instead of other beverages and sugary drinks.
  • Cut out all foods that contain sugar, including sodas, candies, or desserts.
  • Avoid using high fructose corn syrup in any form at home or when eating out. It’s on almost every food ingredient list these days which can make it easy to overlook.

Seriously just by cutting out sugar, you will slim down SO much.

At the very least you can try it for five days and see how it goes.

(You can do just about anything for a week, can’t you?)

 

Final Thoughts

I hope you learned a lot from these tips for how to lose 10 pounds fast!

Weight loss can be a long, hard process. But you can get jumpstarted really quickly and then gradually find ways to make it stick.

Good luck with your weight loss!
