How to lose weight in a week: 5 simple steps I’ve used to lose 10 pounds in a week

Last Updated on April 27, 2022 by Latrice

I lost 6 pounds and an inch in waist bloat in 5 days with this method.

It might not be easy, but it’s a simple method that can quickly jumpstart your weight loss transformation, get rid of bloat and water weight and get you summer ready sooner than later.

Check ‘em out.

Step #1: Remove all highly processed foods, drinks, sugars from your diet

And this definitely includes all alcoholic drinks too.

Highly processed foods and drinks (sugars and sweeteners too) cause bloat, water weight gain, increased appetite, increased cravings, blood sugar spikes and dips, and insulin resistance.

If you want to lose weight in a week, get rid of these foods ASAP.  

Step #2: Adopt a low-carb or keto diet for fat loss

I suggest this because even certain real foods, like sweet potatoes and bananas, can work against weight loss because of their sugar content, carbs, and starch.

These foods can also increase cravings, increase appetite, cause bloat, and cause blood sugar spikes a dips.

A keto diet for fat loss eliminates these foods and focuses on transforming your body from sugar burner to fat burner.

Step #3: Eat 1 to 2 meals a day

Get in some good ol’ intermittent fasting.

Intermittent fasting worked WONDERS for my weight loss transformation. What I did was not eat past 4pm and had my first meal the following day before 8am.

For a more aggressive approach, eat one meal a day. For something less aggressive, but also effective, eat two meals within a 8 hour window and fast for 16 hours.

Pick a fasting window that works best for you.

Step #4: Do not eat at night

Quit eating at night and fast instead. Listen. I’ve lost a lot of weight “effortlessly” when I started going to bed on an empty stomach.

Because I’ve had so much success with not eating at night, making sure to go to bed on an empty stomach, I always suggest this to people that ask me how I lost weight.

Give it a try. Sleep on an empty stomach by giving yourself a few hours or so before bed to digest food.

Step #5: Drink ½ to 1 gal of water a day

If you’re not drinking enough water, you’re missing out.

Challenge yourself to get enough water to hydrate yourself and take care of your cravings and appetite.

Sometimes, when we feel hungry, we’re actually thirsty.

Drink water.
