8 Ways To Lose Five Pounds In 3 - 4 Weeks

     Everybody wishes there was an easy way to lose weight. There are some things you may think you need to do to lose that last 5, 10, or 20 lbs. of body fat that may be holding you back from even trying. This article is different. It tells you not only how to lose a few pounds during the summer, it offers a fun way to lose those few pounds; by using your pool.

1. Do this by first, taking a deep breath. Begin pushing yourself underwater by doing what I call "raising the roof." Push yourself down by pushing the water above you with your hands. Keep performing this motion with your arms until you either can no longer hold your breath, or your arms begin to tire.

2. Are you addicted to the cardio machines at the gym? If you抮e doing the same cardio workout day in, day out, your body may have already adjusted to your calorie-burning efforts and will not help you shed any excess weight with ease. Improving your exercise routine may mean adding resistance training, weight lifting, and circuit training into the mix; you抣l see a noticeable difference in your body within three weeks, so give your workouts a makeover and drop a few pounds in the process.

3. Eating raw fruits & veggies, drinking whey or soy protein & ice cold water means... You'll never get hungry, never have any cravings or a big appetite so... You'll eat less and lose more weight faster and. Raw fruits & veggies remove toxins from your blood and once these toxins are gone... The enzymes in the raw fruits & veggies liquefy and flush fat out of your body.

4. Eat a breakfast consisting of mostly protein (eggs, or a protein shake) with fresh fruit on the side. If you're not too full after having your protein and fruit, add a bowl of oatmeal to your breakfast. It's scientifically-proven that the more good calories you consume at breakfast, the faster you lose weight.

5. The most fun way to exercise while in the pool is by using an inflatable beach ball. Put your arms around the beach ball and pull it in tightly to your chest.

6. Keeping track of your progress can help you stay motivated and right on track with your weight loss goals. Matt Weik, a bodybuilder and strength and conditioning coach in Pennsylvania, suggests keeping an exercise journal to make sure you抮e not sneaking in extra calories by mistake.

7. Drink at least two liters of water every day. Start in the morning. As soon as you wake up, drink 1 liter. You don't need to drink it all at once, but within the first hour or two after waking up. This helps re-hydrate you and jump-start your metabolism. Body fat loss is optimized when you're hydrated and your metabolism is revved-up. After that first liter in the morning, it's easy to sip and drink the second one over the rest of your waking day. This is one of the best natural weight loss.

8. Make sure that either lunch or dinner (preferably dinner) is a big salad with lean protein (grilled chicken, boiled egg, tuna, or lean steak). No iceberg lettuce, but raw spinach is great, and put a variety of at least 6 different vegetables in your salad.
