Losing weight has become a popular craze among many people all over the world. Modern eating plans such as the Atkins and South Beach diets are popular with health-conscious people looking to shed off excess fats in the quickest way possible. Slimming teas and fat-burning pills also sell briskly and are quickly devoured by those desperate for a fit and sexy body.

But can you really lose 10 pounds in 3 days? Many advertisements of diet books and slimming products offer such extravagant claims, but nutritionists and doctors are one in saying that such a claim is impossible. Shedding off that much poundage in such a short period of time is not only unrealistic, but also unhealthy.

Losing Too Much Weight

To lose 10 pounds in 3 days, you need to burn 35,000 calories in just 3 days, since a pound of fat is worth 3,500 calories. That means you have to burn off an average of 12,000 calories per day. This is unrealistic because the average person consumes only 2,000-3,000 calories a day.


The key to losing weight is to burn off more calories than you eat. For example, if you eat 2,000 calories a day, you need to spend more than 2,000 calories so that you will lose weight. Your body needs to go on a “calorie deficit” so that it will be forced to take calories from the excess fat in your body.

A more realistic weight loss plan is to lose 1-2 pounds of fat per week. This might not seem much at first glance, but in only a month you will lose 4-8 pounds, and after several months, you will lose more than 20 pounds of excess fat.

The Right Eating Plan


Losing weight involves getting yourself and your body in “starvation mode” so that your body will be forced to burn off fat. You need to consume one-fourth less calories than what you’re normally accustomed. This means reducing your intake of foods rich in fat and calories such as ice cream, burgers, cakes, pizza, beer, candies and soda.

But before you embark on a low-calorie diet, you need to plan your meals. You can write down the foods you like to eat and then know how much calories they contain. Many health stores and supermarkets sell calorie counter books or you can get one from health websites on the Internet.

Clinically Proven Medifast Meal Replacement Diet.

Avoid foods rich in fat and carbohydrates are these are the main sources of calories. Excess carbohydrates are converted into fat and stored in the body. However, not all carbohydrates are bad. Avoid carbohydrate-rich foods such as bread, pasta, doughnuts, rice, French fries, candies, cakes and cereals.

Your body still needs some carbohydrates, so you need to get them from vegetables. Cabbage, cauliflower, asparagus, broccoli and green leafy vegetables are good sources of carbohydrates.

Eat protein in limited amounts and preferably with each meal. There are meats that are low in fat, such as lean beef, chicken, lamb, fish and egg whites. Make sure you get protein with every meal. If you are a vegetarian, you can get protein from beans, nuts, seeds, soya and protein substitutes.

It is also advisable to eat 4-6 small meals, instead of 2-3 big ones. Eating smaller meals will allow your body to keep up with the sudden input of calories.

Just because you are on a diet doesn’t mean that you can’t eat healthy. You can still eat a nutritionally-balanced diet by selecting your food wisely and eating moderate amounts of food. Your goal should be to eat 1,200-1,400 calories per day for women and 1,800-2,000 calories per day for men.

Stretch Those Muscles

Aside from the right eating plan, you also need to exercise. Exercise is still the best way to lose 10 pounds the quickest way possible. Running, cycling and walking are simple exercises that anyone can follow. If you have more time, you can do aerobics, dancing or swimming.

It is best to consult your doctor first before you embark on any exercise program. You can also consult a health professional or fitness instructor who can make a tailor-made exercise program suitable for your body weight.

With the aforementioned diet and exercise plan, you can lose 10 pounds or more in as fast as 5 weeks. However, 10 pounds in 5 weeks is just a guide. Everyone has different metabolisms - some people may lose weight quickly while others may have difficulty shedding even a single pound of fat. But with determination, discipline and the right diet and exercise, anyone can lose 10 pounds in just a month or two.
