Lose 10 Pounds

Want the best way to lose 10 pounds fast? Stop eating and run for three days straight. You'll lose 10 pounds immediately. As a bonus, you'll be so pumped full of endorphins you'll feel like a million bucks. That is when you're done throwing up and convulsing from dehydration.

Seriously, before you put on your running shoes and head out, there are a few other ways to lose 10 pounds you may desire to consider. There's probably a hundred thousand different ways to lose 10 pounds that are better than the one above. But sadly, many of the lose weight fast schemes are nothing more than poorly conceived starvation diets.

A lot of these schemes involve popping stimulant appetite suppressors all day long. Losing weight is supposed to be a healthy thing to do. Unfortunately, people often try to lose weight in unhealthy ways.

First of all, do not starve yourself. Starvation diets may help you lose 10 pounds or even more in a relatively short time, but in the long run they won't work and may even cause you to gain more weight than you had prior to the diet.

When you starve yourself you slow your body's metabolism down to a crawl. Your body recognizes when it has no fuel coming in and it adjusts its metabolism level. It begins to shut down. It goes into starvation mode and acts to conserve power to maximize the amount of time it can sustain itself before more sustenance arrives.

The body's starvation mode is an evolutionary response to lack of food enabling us to survive during periods of little or no food availability.

So yes, you will without question lose 10 pounds in no time at all when you stop eating, or drastically reduce your calorie intact. But when you resume your regular diet your body will immediately try to make up for loss time by not only giving the body what it needs, but by packing on fat reserves to help it get by during the next starvation crises.

These extra fat reserves you body packs on is exactly why yo-yo dieting does not work and why people who try to lose 10 pounds by starvation dieting are doomed to failure.

Studies show that the best way to lose 10 pounds, or even more than 10 pounds, is to use a combination of regular exercise and eating many "small" meals and snacks. If you do this, you'll lose 10 pounds in no time at all, and it'll stay off.
