How to Lose a Maximum Amount of Weight in One Day to a Week

Weight loss comes as a challenging task for many people because it takes a lot of persistence and commitment. Often times it is difficult to lose a large amount of fat in one day to one week. During this period, the number changes you see on the scale are most likely due to water weight fluctuations. If you are looking for long term quality results, it is healthier to take a more gradual approach to dieting. However, if you are only in need of a quick fix, perhaps for a special event, certain steps can be taken to maximize your amount of weight lost in a shorter period of time.

How to Lose a Maximum Amount of Weight in One Day to a Week

1

Get into the weight loss mindset: Set a date to start your detox. It is best that you do not plan to do this during a stressful time period or one that will entail your full attention, such as mid-term season or right before a big work assignment is due. Make a list of peripheral chores and projects that you have been meaning to accomplish but never got around to. Organize your schedule for the next week so that you have little time to think about food. It is best choose tasks that will keep you on your feet and away from food. Some suggestions to aid you in your detox are activities such as washing the car, spa treatments and baths, cleaning out the garage and visiting museums. Going into the sauna will help you sweat and lose some water weight; however, this may not be the healthiest option to take when you are already going on an ultra low calorie diet.

Eliminate any trigger foods from your kitchen. You can either hide them, discard them, or plan accordingly so that you do not restock your pantry with junk food right before your diet.

Do not deprive your body of essential nutrients. Take a multivitamin everyday or get drink mixes that have been infused with vitamins. Take calcium supplements. Keep your diet clean and fresh, organic is best. A recommended dietary plan is as follows:

Morning: Upon waking, drink a glass of warm water with fresh lemon juice. Do at least 20 to 30 minutes of light fitness activity such as yoga or stretching. Drink a cup of coffee, best if black. If you need to, add low calorie creamer.

Mid-morning: Take your supplements and drink a packet vitamin/fiber infused drink mix.

Noon: Eat a light salad with no dressing or caloric toppings. Eat spinach and grilled salmon dish with added lemon juice. Stay away from salt or sodium.

Afternoon: Have a small fruit plate or smoothie. For the smoothie, add 1 cup of fruit (such as blueberries and banana), cup fat free yogurt (can be flavored), cup crushed ice and mix together in a blender.

Evening: Chicken (or tofu if you are a vegetarian) and vegetable soup broth: Mix together in a medium sauce pan 1 cup of low sodium organic chicken broth, 1/2 chicken neck (or tofu), 1 cup of chopped kale, cup sliced mushrooms, cup finely chopped onions, garlic. Add in a serving of fiber powder supplements. Simmer over low heat for 1 to 2 hours. Go for a 20-minute walk after your meal and perform at least 15 minutes of light exercise activity such as you did in the morning.

Night: Drink a glass of warm water with fresh lemon juice about an hour before bed.

Follow this, or a similar plan, for 5 to 7 days.

Recovery: Detoxing can sensitize the body so it is essential that you do not go straight into eating regular foods once you are done with your diet, as doing so may be harmful to your digestive system. Consume delicate foods such as boiled organic vegetables and soups with added barely or brown rice. Do this for about two days before you start to incorporate breads and other foods with substance.
