Lose a Pound a Day the Healthy Way

Billy Blanks, Tae Bo

As a person who struggled with weight problems for years, I can honestly say that I was relieved when I figured out the secret to fast, healthy weight loss. I have provided a list of steps for you below. Follow the list exactly as I’ve written it, and you will see the numbers on the scale decrease by 5-7 by the end of the week. I did this and lost 20 pounds in 4 weeks. It doesn’t matter what size you’re in or what your current weight is. If you can stand to lose even as little as five pounds, this will work for you. Take baby steps. Try this method for the next seven days and see what happens.

Week 1 (Don’t exercise this week)

Have fresh fruit for breakfast and or lunch. (You don’t have to eat breakfast if you’re not a breakfast person and you can skip lunch if you’re not a lunch person) I’m not saying starve yourself. Only eat when you’re hungry and when you do eat, remember to do slowly. It is best to take a sip of water after every bite. Obey your body and remember to drink a cup or two of water before eating. Hunger pangs are also derived from dehydration.

Vegetables are also fine for lunch. (Green vegetables are best for this plan) They don’t have many calories. (Example: One full bag of broccoli is only 120 calories, two celery sticks are no more than two calories) Literally take a sip of water after every bite and don’t eat too fast (that was a problem I had).

Don’t cheat at all this week. Only eat when you’re hunger and STOP when you’re full. The key is not to stuff yourself.

Weigh yourself in the morning. (You’re about five pounds heavier at the end of the day because your muscles expand from daily activities).

Week 2 Power walk on a flat surface for thirty minutes twice this week or you can skip the workout session this week. You’ll still lose weight.

For lunch and or dinner, eat a can of soup. (One full can is approximately 230 calories) Stay away from soup with beef and heavy meets. Chicken Wild Rice soup is fine. Remember to eat sensibly and don’t cheat until the next week.

Week 3 By now, you should be down 10 – 14 pounds. Your body has gotten used to the meal plan and you will probably find the weight loss process slowing down.

On the first day of this week, feel free to eat a hot dog or a couple of hot wings. Eat as though you normally would, but don’t pig out! Do a high cardio workout like Billy Blanks Tae Bo Advanced. Do this two days in a row.

On day 3, revisit the diet. Don’t work out on this day.

Repeat the first step of week 3 on the 4th day.

On day five, eat normally, but don’t work out and don’t pig out either. Do this on day six as well.

On day seven, revisit your diet. Eat asparagus that day. I say this because asparagus drains the water from the stomach, making you less bloated. It helps control excess water weight, making your tummy flatter, plus it’s healthy for you. There should be about a 1- 2 pound loss for the entire week. If you don’t lose anything, it’s okay. Just don’t over eat and continue to avoid meat.

Week 4 The first three days of this week, repeat the first step of week 3. The rest of the week, repeat the steps in week 1.

By the end of this month, you should be down at least 20 pounds.
