     Are you one of those overweight and obese people having a hard time losing weight? Do you want to get rid of your belly fats fast and effectively? Do you want to know how to lose weight in a week without putting your precious health in danger? Mayoclinic.com explains that losing weight quickly may result in many health complications such as dehydration, gallstone formation and electrolyte imbalance. But, according to Cleveland Clinic, using a healthy holistic approach that combines a balance diet with regular physical activity can do the trick of trimming your love handles and keeping your extra weight from coming back.

Before we go to the most awaited tips, let's start first with some basics. Mayoclinic.com states that a pound of fat contains 3500 calories. And so, in order to lose a pound of fat within a week, you need to either burn calories through exercise or decrease your caloric intake by 500 calories each day.

OK. I know you are quite excited to know the tips on losing weight so keep reading!

Do not drink your regular soda and other sugary drinks. Drink your water instead. Do you know that Harvard School of Public Health says that a typical 20-ounce soda contains 240 calories and according to Starbucks, their regular caf latte contains 190 calories? These stated facts mean that drinking 3 bottles of regular soda and two cups of caf latte every day can give you an extra 7700 calories per week, which only means that you can potentially gain more than two pounds of fat every single week. If you continue doing this for a whole year, you will gain a whooping 114 pounds and that is from your sugary drinks alone! Are you tired of being fat? Drop the regular soda and other sugary drinks and drink lots of water instead! Remember, water contains no calories, and it is healthy too!

Do not be a couch potato. Embrace physical activity! Who says you can look great and thin without physical activity? To tell you the truth, losing weight fast without any physical exertion on your part can make you look old and dehydrated with saggy, dry skin. Of course, you do not want to be like that. So get up and make those running shoes useful. Do not worry. You do not need to spend that much time in the gym. Exercising 90 to 100 minutes a week can do the trick. The good news is, according to Mayoclinic.com, engaging in physical activity even for an hour each day can help you lose 250 to 700 calories depending on your weight. The more weight you have, the more calories you burn!

Choose your carbs, baby! The carbohydrates you eat convert to glucose once inside the body and used as energy for cell function. However, the body turns excess glucose to fat. Therefore, eating too much carbs without increasing your metabolism through physical activity can make you fat. Veggies, fruits, desserts, pastas, sweets, sodas, cakes and breads all have carbohydrates. However, please be informed, not all carbohydrates are equal. Carbohydrates from vegetables are almost inconsequential since veggies only contain only a little carbohydrate per serving. Because your veggies have vitamins, minerals and fibers, they are the best choice for carbs for losing weight. Fruits can help you lose weight too because of their full-packed nutritional value, but since they are sweet, which means they have more glucose, you should limit your intake to one to two servings of fruits per day. Sweets, desserts, pastas, cakes and breads, on the other hand, contain simple carbohydrates that increase insulin, the body chemical that facilitates the conversion of glucose into fats. Eating these simple carbs can only help you get fatter. Therefore, what should be your most obvious verdict? Stay away from them!

Now, do you know how to lose weight in a week? With these three simple tips, you can lose more than two pounds every single week and that's a promise! Think about how much fat you can trim within a month. How about a year? You can be sure that within just six months or even less, you can start flaunting a sexy, beach-ready body you always dream of having!
