Lose 10 Pounds in 5 Days -- Best Way to Do It Naturally & Safely

We recently received an email from a desperate reader who needs to lose some weight very quickly. Here's what she wrote:
"I need to lose 10 pounds in 5 days! I have to go to a pool party this Saturday and I don't want to be the only woman with a belly fat roll! Is it possible to do this? Can I just stop eating or is there a good diet to lose that much weight fast? Should I workout and how do I do it? What's the best way to get rid of these pounds in just five days??"

And here's our response:

Yes, it is possible to lose 10 pounds in just 5 days. But it's not easy and it's not recommended. First of all, much of the weight will be from lost "water weight", not body fat loss. Also, there are always health risks when trying to lose that much weight that fast. But it's pretty obvious that you're desperate to shed pounds so here's a simple plan you could follow. It'll get you closer to your goal than just about anything:

1. Cover the Basics -- Get at least 7 hours of sleep per night and drink a gallon of water per day. This will maximize your metabolism and energy levels so that your body is ready to shed extra weight.

2. Eat a VERY Clean Diet -- The best diet for losing pounds fast is one that's based around lean meats/proteins, non-starchy "good" carbs (mainly vegetables, beans, legumes, and raw fruit), and small amounts of healthy fats (e.g. extra-virgin olive oil, nuts, seeds, natural peanut butter, avocado, and unrefined coconut oil). Avoid ALL sugars, starches (even whole grains), and bad fats (especially fried foods and trans-fats!).

3. Eat 5 Times a Day -- Eat a small protein-based meal or snack about every 2-3 hours to boost your metabolism, stabilize your energy levels, and help you avoid hunger and food cravings.

4. Do Interval-Based Workouts -- Do a higher-intensity interval-based workout 3 or 4 days out of the five. Combine bodyweight strength training (e.g. push-ups, squats, lunges, push-ups, inverted rows, hanging leg raises, etc.) with short HIIT sessions. Keep the workouts brief (40 minutes maximum) and focus on quality/intensity of the exercise over quantity/length.

5. Take Whey and a Multivitamin -- Every day drink at least one large whey protein shake and also take a good multivitamin to support lean muscle preservation, a fast metabolism, and to help protect your overall health during this intense weight loss routine.

So there you have it: the best and probably the safest "natural" way to lose 10 pounds in 5 days (and several inches from your belly as well!). As stated above, that's quite a lot of weight to lose in so short of a time but if you're going to try you may as well use the simple and proven method outlined above. It workouts incredibly well if you follow it closely. Good luck and please let us know about the results you get from this plan. Thanks!

How to Naturally Lose Belly Fat as Quickly as Possible

There are lots of ways to lose belly fat quickly. You can starve yourself of calories and/or carbohydrates. You can also do tons of exercise, especially that long, boring "cardio" exercise that so many people recommend. Neither are great options. Starving tends to slow down the metabolism -- not to mention make you crazy -- and exercise alone is definitely not the fastest way to lose stomach fat.

In this short post I'm going to show you one of the best ways to lose belly fat naturally and in the quickest way possible. It takes some effort and work but just about anyone can get rid of their ugly, stubborn abdominal fat very rapidly. All it takes is some focused, coordinated, and consistent action for the next few days, weeks, or months.

Step 2: Get energized. Get plenty of sleep and drink A LOT of water. Maximize your energy and you'll burn off belly fat and lose pounds much, much faster!

Step 3: Eat the cleanest type of diet. Eat a "clean" diet based around lean proteins, healthy fats, and good carbohydrates. Don't waste your time with fad diets and other things that don't work. Just get at least 90% of your calories from clean foods and you'll have no problem shrinking your tummy.

Step 4: Do the best fat-burning workouts. Do short, intense workouts based around both cardiovascular training and weight lifting. This form of exercise is the best for getting rid of stubborn belly flab quickly!

Step 5: Take support supplements. Take a good multi-vitamin and a quality omega 3 fats supplement if you don't eat a lot of seafood and fish. Also consider taking whey protein powder and green tea extract. These simple, inexpensive supplements are proven to help anyone boost energy, ramp up their metabolism, and shed stomach fat faster.

So there you have it, one of the best way to naturally lose belly fat as quickly as possible. Like I said in the beginning, it all comes down to taking focused, consistent action on a day-to-day basis. It's a formula that works and it will help you drop abdominal fat super fast!

Fast Fat Loss Tricks -- 5 Fat-Burning Tricks That Always Work!

Looking for some good tips for burning off ugly body fat and losing pounds quickly? The 5 fast fat loss tricks outlined below are all proven to work very, very well...

Trick #1: Take an energy-booster. A natural caffeine-based energy booster can increase the intensity of your workouts and speed up the rate at which your body burns fat during and after the workouts!

Trick #2: Workout on an empty stomach. Your body is usually in a "fasting" state when you first wake up, with low muscle glycogen levels. Exercising first thing in the morning on an empty stomach forces your body to burn its stored fat for energy.

Trick #3: Drink A LOT of water. If you can drink about a gallon of water throughout the day you'll feel great, maximize your metabolism, help fight hunger/food cravings, and burn fat much more efficiently.

Trick #4: Do interval-based exercise. Do workouts based around high-intensity intervals, or short bursts of intense exercise. A few short sprints thrown into a strength workout can cause powerful metabolic changes that really speed up fat burning.

Trick #5: Do full-body resistance training. A few times each week do full-body resistance workouts based around "big" compound exercises like squats, push-ups, pull-ups, lunges, dips, inverse rows, etc. You'll set your body up to burn fat for the next 24-36 hours!

So there you go: five of the best fast fat loss tricks known to man. They're all 100% proven to work so give them a try. You'll be leaner, fitter, and sexier in a matter of weeks!

Any Ab Circle Mini Reviews?

So the new Ab Circle Mini has finally been released and the fitness world is all abuzz, as expected. Pumping millions of dollars into online and offline promotion/marketing can do that for a product. But now the question is: does it work? And, if it does, is it worth the hundred dollar price tag?

The original Ab Circle Pro left a lot of customers unhappy, to put it mildly. It was constructed out of relatively low-quality materials and had extremely uncomfortable knee pads. Many users also thought that while it did work the abdominal muscles and obliques pretty well, the "cardio" exercise aspect of a typical workout wasn't all that great.

The fact that it was promoted as a weight loss solution led many customers to believe that it was an all-in-one machine for burning fat and getting those sexy "six pack" abs we all want!

So now's your chance to share you thoughts and opinions with the world regarding this ultra-hot new home fitness product. Just leave your useful reviews in the "comments" section below. Please be as helpful and candid as possible. Thank you! :)

5 Tips to Burn Fat AND Build Muscle Super Fast

It's possible to burn off ugly body fat quickly while also building lean muscle at the same time. In fact, that's really the secret to true body transformation. The 5 tips below are proven to help you boost your metabolism, lose fat faster, and build sexy lean muscle tissue simultaneously...

1. Strength train first. Resistance/weight training should be the focus of nearly all your works. Cardio should be secondary.

2. Go heavy. Don't be afraid to use heavier weights. You should be maxing out at around 10-12 reps each set.

3. Do big compound exercises. "Big" exercises that involve multiple muscle groups and joints give you the best fat-burning and muscle building results. Squats and pull-ups are WAY more beneficial than leg curls and single-arm cable rows.

4. Eat plenty of clean calories. Protein should be the focus. But also eat plenty of good carbs -- especially veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, etc. -- and a decent amount of healthy fats. Avoid highly-processed foods and you'll have a much easier time getting rid of fat and building muscle.

5. Do short burst cardio sessions. Do about 10 minutes of burst interval cardio training after your strength workouts. It's a much more efficient way than doing hours of traditional cardio workouts (like jogging on a treadmill).

So there you have it: 5 of the best ways to burn fat, build muscle, and transform your body as fast as possible!

"Mini Circle": The Ab Circle Pro's Little Sister

So the makers of the extremely popular Ab Circle Pro are coming out with a new as-seen-on-TV product called the "Mini Circle". It is apparently the Ab Circle's smaller, lighter, and cheaper little sister. According to a press release from spokesperson and fitness model Jennifer Nicole Lee it will cost about $100, half the price of the original Ab Circle Pro.

We would love to know if this thing actually works. The Ab Circle definitely had some quality and ease-of-use problems, at least according to dozens of user reviews and testimonials we've seen. Hopefully the issues have been dealt with and the new Mini Circle ab machine provides better value.

Please be sure to leave your own Mini Circle review or comment in the area below. Thanks!
