How to lose weight in 10 days seems no difficult task if you follow the above 10 days plan. Make sure to drink plenty of water and reduce the salt intake. Prefer to take home-cooked food as you have complete control over salt, oil, and you also get quality in home-cooked food.
In case, you find it difficult to keep a track on your lifestyle and food habits, you can opt for a private weight loss surgery as well.
Now, get ready to follow this 10-day weight loss plan and get ready to see the pleasant results on the weight scale.
Heal the Chakras
If after following a strict diet and exercise plan perpetually you are not losing weight, blame the dysfunction of your chakras.
There are seven chakras in our body. These are energy centres spinning continuously and every centre has a specific colour. All these chakras relate to weight loss especially the second chakra which is the sacral chakra. To balance this chakra, you need to follow these.
Be a Water Baby
Water is the element of this chakra, so more time you slog in water, more your chakra would be healed. For a more soothing experience, add Epsom salt to your bathtub. The healing properties of water will not only cleanse your body but your soul too.
Find the Serenity
It’s vitally important for your chakra that your mind stays calm and composed. Do some yoga, meditation, and even eat what you like but in moderate quantities. Healthy food can also taste nice. Find ways.
Release Your Emotions
Talk to a friend, family or start writing journals about your emotions. Keeping it to yourself could be disastrous for your chakra. So let them release from your body. It would work great on your mental sanity.
Keep a Track of Your Eating Habits
At the end of the day write down what you have eaten so you can pinpoint how much calorie-laden, nutrient-void food you have eaten throughout the day. This awareness will surely go a long way to encourage you to eat right and eliminate bad eating habits that are sabotaging your weight loss efforts.
Metabolism and Weight Loss
It is human nature to compare oneself with others. Many of us look at other people’s flat belly and secretly wish to know how she achieved it. Only if we knew!
It all depends on metabolism. Those having high metabolism need more calories to gain weight. So how to boost the metabolism? The following points will give you the answer:
Be More and More Active
A high-intensity workout and strength training delivers a rise in metabolic rate but you do not necessarily need to be a gym rat.
The idea is to lead an active lifestyle. Try to stand up whenever you can. Include short bursts of jogging in your regular walks.
Keep Hydrated
This is the most common yet underrated technique to rev up metabolism. Hydrate yourself not just with water but also with other natural sugar-free beverages and foods that have a high content of water. Chugging water keeps your metabolism humming and it is 100 per cent calorie free too.
Take Protein-rich Food
This is a holy grail of all weight watchers. Food replete with protein helps you in many ways and boosting metabolism is one of them.
Your body requires more time and calories to ingest protein which is due to the thermic effect of food. This thermic effect kick-starts the metabolism.
Eat Right
There are certain foods and beverages that boost metabolism like pulses, legumes, nuts, seafood, green and red chilli, ginger, green tea, black coffee, apple cider vinegar etc.
If your metabolism is not burning fat as you would like, try the above methods.
How to Stay Focused
Well! I think this is one of the biggest challenges faced by most of us.
If you don’t know why you want to be slim, it would be hard for you to stay focused for long.
So, it is important to find out what’s your why?
Is it because of that dress you are stalking on a website?
Or you are worried about the likelihood of life-threatening diseases you might develop due to obesity.
Or you want to be more energetic.
Is it is just about aesthetics?
Set Goals
Giving yourself deadlines and setting goals is always a motivating factor. It doesn’t let you lose focus and encourage you to chase even tougher goals when you achieve the initial ones.
The trick is to set easier goals with a short deadline and gradually increase the difficulty level as you go further. For more motivation, you can set a reward for the completion of each goal.
For example, set a goal of one week for yourself to reduce the sugar quantity to half. When you do it, buy yourself a cute wall hanging that reminds you of your achievement every time you see it.
Another fun way to stay motivated and passionate is to buy a dress of smaller size and put all your strength to get fit into it.
Develop a Hobby
Thinking about food all the time can be greatly taxing on your weight loss efforts. Cultivate a hobby instead that can unleash your hidden potential.
Utilise this time to work on your creative side of the personality, anything that gives you pleasure would be best to try hands-on.
So, now when you know how to lose weight in 10 days, are you ready to set your goals?
