In order to lose 10 pounds in seven days, you need to limit the amount of carbs you eat. Each pound of carbs that is stored in your body will result in three to five pounds of water packed into it.

3. Go on a juice diet

I hope you like juice, because a juice diet for three days is just what you need. This one is harsh and you need to make sure you do not use fruit that is rich in sugar. Also make sure that you pick juices that are as close to natural as possible. This means no added preservatives. It’s a great way to detox and lose some weight.

2. The master cleanse diet

Yes, this is quite a popular diet. The master cleanse diet is also known as the lemonade diet. This is where you will be consuming lemonade mixed with cayenne pepper and pure maple syrup. Since you are trying to lose 10 pounds in 7 days, then you should go on this for at least 5 days. This is going to get those toxins out of your body, which in return is going to give you more energy.

1. Exercise is important

I put this at number one, because it is the most important. You didn’t expect to lose 10 pounds without exercising, did you? There are many different exercises that you can try out. Go for a walk with your dog, take out your daughter’s hula hoop, try a belly dancing class or just head to the gym.  My favorite tool is the exercise ball!

Again, I do not recommend losing a lot of weight in a little amount of time, but since you are in a hurry, I gave you the tips you needed. Have any of you lost 10 pounds in ten days?
