Burn That Fat - How To Lose 10 Pounds In 10 Days!

10 pounds in 10 days! Everyone seems to like this formula! It has a certain ring to it, doesn't it?

Here's what I hear:

"I've got a wedding coming up in 2 weeks and I need to lose 10 pounds to fit into my outfit… and I can't afford a new one."

Or: "If I can't lose it fast then I don't want to do it… it's just too much torture!"

Is it possible to lose 10 pounds in 10 days?

Of course it is!

Let's look at how we might do this:

First off… I think exercise is totally out of the question!

If you're already fit enough to do the exercise to lose 10 pounds that fast then you won't be carrying the 10 pounds to start with. The rest of us will die of exhaustion along the way. It's really, really difficult to bring off big time weight loss short term with exercise.

O.K! Idea Number 2: You can fast for 10 days. Wouldn't be fun, but if there's a diet to help you lose 10 pounds in 10 days then fasting has to be faster. Problem is you'd assume a serious health risk and the weight loss would be mostly water and muscle anyway. Your body will think there's a famine so will hang onto the fat.

Variation on Number 2: Go on a really demanding diet. Same problems.

Or you can try the lemonade and maple syrup diet! Dangerous to your system too, but doesn't require the same discipline or create the same pain as the fasting or really lo-cal diet because the sugar in the maple syrup curbs the hunger somewhat. But at the end of it you've totally screwed up your system, spiked your blood sugar all day and you'll just put it all back on as fat again anyway.

But sugar isn't as damaging as highly refined carbs. Your body runs on glucose and most sugar we eat is sucrose. … it converts to glucose in the blood more slowly than carbs. Carbs are vicious… they start converting to glucose in the mouth as soon as they encounter your saliva.

But you will look good for the wedding!

There's another way that will take off the 10 pounds in 10 days and put you in position to continue losing weight at a steady rate until you hit your ideal target.

You have to change your eating habits, eliminate refined carbs, stop spiking your blood sugar and insulin systems, if you are going to take control of the fat making processes of your body.

Ideally you want an eating plan that does all of that in such a way that you get all of your nutrition needs met, lose significant weight starting with your belly first and you never go hungry in the process.

I can show you how to do that!

I have recently written a book entitled "Lose Weight -Never Go Hungry" which lays out a plan for overcoming carbohydrate addiction and losing weight.
