So you want to lose 10 pounds? You’re in good company. Most of us want to lose 10 pounds or so and that is because it is an amount that is easy to put on gradually and without noticing, which is what happens to the majority of people.
How to Lose 10 Pounds
Happily, 10 pounds is also a good weight loss goal as it is reasonably achievable within 30 days or so. Even better, once you are 10 pounds lighter the impact on your fitness, appearance and self-esteem is clearly visible.
It’s also important to understand that those extra 10 pounds now can easily turn into 20 pounds in five years, 30 pounds in 10 years and so on. That is an amount of surplus weight which will have a considerable impact not only on your health and fitness, but on your lifespan. It is therefore an extremely good idea to tackle the problem before it gets out of hand and that is something you can easily do with the help of this program.
If you lose 10 pounds it can equate to 1 1/2 dress sizes or a reduction of around 3 inches in a waistband for men. It is an amount that you can lose healthily in one month, and without feeling that you are suffering from any kind of deprivation.
Lose 10 Pounds Safely
Health professionals recognize that 2 – 3 pounds a week is a safe and sensible amount to lose while following a diet that contains sufficient calories and nutrients to supply you with the correct amount of energy to meet the average lifestyle requirements.
Of course, not everyone will lose 10 pounds in 30 days. Weight loss depends upon many factors, including:
- How overweight you are – the heavier you are, the more you will lose. If you are very heavy and lose more than 10lbs in the first three weeks of this program, you should either increase your portion sizes slightly or include an extra snack in your daily plan.
- Your age – if you’re young, you will probably lose more than average because our metabolic rate slows down as we get older and are naturally less active.
- Your shape – those of you who are apple-shaped rather than-pear shaped will probably find that you lose weight more easily.
Other factors, including prescription drugs, exercise levels and so on will also have an impact on how much weight you lose. You should always consult a health professional before embarking upon a weight loss program, particularly if you have other factors to consider which may impact upon your weight loss or which require particular care.
