Runway models, celebrities, bodybuilders, boxers, and other professional athletes know how to cut down body weight fast for important events.

For them, it’s just part of the job.

But they are not the only ones who know these “secrets.”

Fortunately for you, Alex and I have a tremendous amount of experience helping people achieve this goal and are going to help you do just that!

There are usually a few questions people have when talking about this kind of fast weight loss…

Question #1. Is it even possible?

Answer: Absolutely!

There are all kinds of studies that back up the fact that it is not only possible, but it actually can very much increase your chances of losing all of your excess weight.  Why?

MOTIVATION!  How does losing 1-2 lbs everyday sound? A lot better than losing 1-2 every week, right?  RESULTS are what keep people motivated.

Question #2. Is it all just water weight? 

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Fast fat loss depends on a variety of factors including starting weight, hormones, age, and other factors.  When losing weight in ANY capacity, some amount of water/muscle will be lost.  This is not preventable.

However, with a high protein diet like the one we recommend, the amount of muscle/water lost will be MINIMAL compared to other diets.  This is because the high amount of protein preserves muscle mass and helps prevent muscle wasting.

Question #3. Is it healthy?  

Short answer: Yep!

In fact, fast weight loss has been shown to be a much more effective in both the long-term and the short-term for sustainable results.

Also, we require you to eat a ton of veggies and healthy protein during this time.  By the end of the 7 days, you will not feel depleted.  In fact, most people report feeling incredibly energized!

Fast weight loss is healthy and fine for the body as long as the body is properly nourished.

How to Lose 7-10 Pounds in a Week 

Workout

1. Don’t worry about exercise.

You may be thinking:  What???? No Way!

It’s capital-T True.

The thing is, diet has SO MUCH MORE to do with weight loss and especially fast weight loss like this.

There are a couple of reasons that I don’t recommend exercise when cutting down weight fast for a short period of time or if you’re significantly overweight:
  • Diet plays the majority role in weight loss success, not exercise.
  • The diet plan below recommends cutting out carbohydrates.  This will significantly reduce glycogen levels in the bloodstream, making a workout very difficult from lack of energy.  
  • Being a trainer who has watched someone pass out running on a treadmill while on a low carb diet, it’s not something I can recommend (wasn’t my client!).
  • It allows one to focus willpower reserves on a diet and sticking to the plan.
  • Intense exercise depletes glycogen, which causes cravings.  This is not good when eating a strict diet.

Instead of doing intense exercise or crazy cardio workouts…

2. Go on daily walks or do some yoga!

Both of these exercises will get the heart pumping and muscles working, without the depletion of glycogen.

Alex loves the daily walks personally, but I love my yoga.  We even made a weight loss program about yoga called the Yoga Fat Loss Bible.

Both of these exercises will help the body lose weight, and you will still feel good about it.

Nutrition 

3. Bring salt down to 1500mg – 2300mg per day.

There’s wayyyyyy to much salt in the average diet. The problem is that salt causes bloating and water retention, particularly in the face and around the stubborn stomach region.

Do NOT cut salt of the diet, just bring it down to a normal number.

4. Eliminate potential allergic foods.

Being allergic to something does not mean that you have an immediate sharp reaction to it.  Mild allergies often go unnoticed, and lots of people have them.

This happens all the time with what we eat.

Yeah, the food may cause a few minor problems (a little gas or bloating), but it’s really not enough to notice unless you’re hyper-focused on the issue.

However, if trying to lose weight fast, these foods can slow the weight loss process.

Eliminate all potentially allergic foods like dairy, gluten, and others.

5. Eat an enormous amount of low carb veggies.

Vegetables

When losing weight, it’s not always about what you take away that matters, it’s also about what you ADD.

Low carb veggies are the best way to get lots of fiber and micronutrients the body CRAVES.  This will help to curb hunger cravings and help the fat “exit” out of the body.

Eat lots of them.  Just make sure they are low carb because foods like potatoes and corn will slow weight loss results.

6. Detox from carbs.

In order for fat-burning potential to be high, insulin has to be down.  This is just how the body works and why so many people can’t lose weight even while cutting calories.

Their bodies have become insulin resistant and refuse to lose the weight.

Detox from carbohydrates (detoxing is a fancy word that just means eliminate) for the entire week.  You can eat some again the night before your big event to fill out your muscles and figure. 

7. Protein, Protein, Protein

Repetition is the father or learning, and if you’re a follower of this blog, there’s a chance you’re getting sick of hearing this tip.  I understand why you would but can promise you that I won’t be shutting up about protein anytime soon.

Here’s why.  Protein…
eat protein to lose weight

Prevents muscle wasting
Speeds up metabolism
Reduces cravings
Is delicious
Stabilizes blood sugar levels
Promotes heart health
Slows the aging process
And so much more.  Eat tons of protein every day and not only when losing weight fast!

If you’re a vegan or vegetarian, you can try plant-based protein shakes to get in high amounts without all the carbs.

Supplements  

8. Caffeine

Caffeine has been shown to conclusively…

Boost metabolism

Help burn visceral fat (belly fat)
The two best sources are coffee and green tea, which also have tons of antioxidants the body loves and needs!

9. Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has been shown to help reduce those pesky carb cravings, improve skin health, and stabilize blood sugar levels.  Need to know more?  Check out my full article on the stuff here.

Just add 1-2 tablespoons in 8oz of water, and drink up to 2x per day!

So I’ve given you the “what” to do, but there are a few steps on how best to implement these strategies that are only available in our fast weight loss program, the 21-Day Fat Loss Challenge.

Things like:

People lose an average of 10-21 pounds in 21 days and absolutely love it!  But even better than the weight loss is the feedback we get from people about how the program has taught them how to change their eating habits and find a diet that truly works for them in the long-term.
