I desperately needed to lose weight for my wedding. I have lost 13 pounds on the first week, and 10 pounds on the second. This is quite a short time for losing weight, and not very healthy, I know. However, this quick weight loss success was a kick-start for my weight loss journey, and it motivated me to keep losing weight, following natural and healthy methods later. I am going to share every single step I followed on the second week, that helped me to lose 10 pounds in 7 days.
Please keep in mind that extremely fast weight loss is never healthy.
Here are the steps I followed after the first 7 days, to lose 10 pounds in a week:
How to Lose 10 Pounds in a Week
1) First, I had a day of detox - to cleanse my body and lose weight even faster. I prepared a drink of lemon juice, ginger and honey mixed with water, and drank this detox drink during the day. Whenever hungry, I just drank it. I felt good, as I normally do, no cramps, no lack of energy, nothing. This was not hard at all, and I am sure it boosted my weight loss results. I know some people do the whole week of detox, but this is not for me.
2) I limited the amounts of foods, because I really needed to lose weight so fast. I had plenty of vegetables, lean meat, fish, eggs, and some fruits (mostly apples and oranges). My new rule of eating was this: half of the plate should be veggies (just tried to avoid too much potato), ¼ of the plate - white meat or fish, and the rest can be fruit (no bananas because they are too sweet and starchy). I know that eating less is not always an option for a long lasting weight loss. But it surely is an option for fast weight loss, and that`s what my goal was. An easier way to reduce the amount of food is to get a smaller plate. However, eating less was pretty hard, I admit. But I reached my goal, and I am so happy now.
3) I added 2 apples an one can of black beans to my daily diet. I had the beans as my main meal, or split them into 2 smaller meals and had with veggies on the side. This is a trick that no diets tell. And it works wonders, because 35 grams of fiber in a daily diet truly supercharges weight loss. These fibers clean the digestive tract and improve digestion.
4) I started to eat breakfast and stopped eating at night. 7 PM was the latest time of the day when I had my dinner. Breakfast boosted my metabolism and helped me to burn calories faster, although I never believed it could be so important for weight loss. It kept me energized as well. I got at least 10 glasses of water during the day, and I still do - water cleanses the body, increases metabolic rate, and does not let you feel hungry.
5) I distributed my usual calorie intake during the day. I started to eat 5 times a day, having smaller meals. This way I never had to go hungry.
6) I limited fat, sweet and not so healthy food, and whenever I felt like I need to eat something unhealthy, I moved those meals to the first part of the day. Because metabolism is higher in the morning compared to the evening, and this let me eat a donut or ice cream once every few days.
7) Instead of drinking juice, I had a fresh fruit every time. Juice is too sweet for weight loss, if you`re thirsty, get some water or unsweetened green tea.
8) I kept myself motivated and busy all the time. I know that when you`re busy, you have no time to go to the kitchen. This works wonders.
This plan might sound too simple to lose 10 pounds in a week - but follow this plan religiously, and you will see real results.

To talk of foods that burn fat is actually not strictly accurate. No food can "burn" fat, as such, but what many healthy foods do is to create conditions in your stomach whereby fat is broken up ready for removal or prevented from being absorbed in the first place.
Other foods, such as oats, require more proteins to be burned to provide the energy needed to digest them, than they cause to be added to your daily total. So let's take a quick look at just five of these foods.
The first one is cinnamon. Cinnamon is beneficial in other ways than as a fat loss food. It actually helps prevent colds and flu. During the 1918 flu epidemic in Europe the workers at a certain warehouse were conspicuous in that not one single one caught the disease. On investigation it was found that they were all working as packers of cinnamon powder, and thereby subjected to all the beneficial properties of it on a daily basis.
But it's also important as a fat loss food. Try drinking a mixture of honey and cinnamon powder boiled in a cup of water first thing in the morning and last thing at night. If you do this regularly then even if you are obese you will lose weight after a short time. It seems the cinnamon reduces the accumulation of fat in the body, even if you have a high calorie intake.
Or you can add a ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon to your main meal or to a hot drink to help your body metabolise sugar 20 times faster and lower your blood-sugar level.

Another food that increases body heat and metabolism (by about 20 per cent) is ginger. You can buy this in various forms - fresh, pickled or candied - and they all work for you as a food that burns fat. It acts to dilate your blood vessels, stimulating circulation and helping detoxify your body.
Citrus fruits are another food vital for burning away the fat. The key component here is vitamin C, which helps to dilute fatty substances so your body can get rid of them more easily. Oranges and orange juice is the most popular citrus fruit, but you could also add a drop or two of lemon juice to water, or eat a grapefruit each morning to start seeing some beneficial results quickly.
Don't forget apples, as well. Apart from vitamin C, these also contain something called pectin, which has water-binding properties and works to limit the amount of fat your body cells can absorb.
Finally, I want to mention eggs. You may be surprised to see eggs mentioned as a food that fights fat, but they do. They contain the very important vitamin B12, which helps your body break down and dispose of fat. Although eggs are high in cholesterol, they have little effect on your blood cholesterol and will help you by making you feel less hungry for all those fatty foods that you have to phase out.
