Tips:

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. Your daily plan for water consumption is as follows:

 

Time

Amount

As soon as you get up each morning

Drink between 300 – 600ml of water

1 hour later (before breakfast)

Drink between 250 – 500ml of water

After every cup of coffee/tea

Drink between 100 – 250ml of water

20 Minutes before each main meal

Drink between 250 – 500ml of water

2 Hours before going to bed

Drink between 300 – 600ml of water

Total amount of water per day

Between 1200 – 2,450ml

Tips:

Adjust your water consumption based on your current weight. If you are significantly overweight and the amounts listed in the chart are not enough to keep you hydrated, drink more. You can also adjust based on your activity level.

3. Take Regular Exercises

Diet alone is not enough to trigger the loss of 10 pounds in 10 days. You will also need to exercise. Cardiovascular exercise is the best way to burn calories. Though lifting weights and toning your body is healthy and builds muscle, it can increase your weight (keep in mind this increase is muscle and not fat). If you are focused on the loss of 10 pounds, you should do exercises such as walking, jogging, and working out on the elliptical or stair climber machine.
