How to Lose Weight in a Week

You can lose weight in a week by burning more calories than you consume. To lose one pound you need to burn approximately 3500 calories, or 500 calories a day for one week. If you lose one pound a week consistently, you can lose 4 pounds in a month, and be well on your way to great weight loss results.

Instructions

1

Stop drinking soda. Each can of soda contains about 150 calories. Replace your can of soda with a bottle or glass of water.

2

When you crave sweets, choose to have a piece of sugar-free gum. Instead of having cookies, candy, or any other high calorie dessert; have a piece of gum. The sweetness of the gum will satisfy your craving and cut calories from your day.

3

Keep healthy snacks around you. If you have healthy snacks in your fridge, or packed in your lunch, you will lower your calorie consumption during the day. Vegetables that are washed and cut into snack-size are a great option.

4

Burn extra calories each week through small, calorie-burning activities, and increase your weight loss. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park as far from the door as possible, and walk across the parking lot. By incorporating some of these techniques into each day, you will be able to lose weight in a week.
