How to lose 5 pounds n 2 days

“How to lose 5 pounds in 2 days”, now that is something you have probably seen plenty of the time on magazines or book covers, and I am sure it sells many copies. Almost anyone would jump at the chance to lose 5 pounds in 2 days, but is that actually possible, or just a brilliant technique to sell magazines?

Surprisingly it is actually possible for most individuals, as you can technically lose 5 pounds in 2 days, but only around one pound of it will be fat. The rest will come from water weight, which will help you look slimmer, but it may come back just as quickly as it vanished.

Our bodies are estimated to be made up of around 60% water and the amount of water  we are carrying constantly changes depending on what we eat, drink and our physical activity.

How to lose 5 pounds in 2 days
Therefore, some individuals will be able to drop 5 pounds off the scale in 2 days, but you need to understand that this will not work the same for everyone. Some people may not be having a lot of water weight and may only  lose 1 or 2 pounds, while some individuals may actually lose more than 5. The amount of weight you could lose in 2 days is mostly going to depend on the quantity of water you are having at this time. This is why below I have included a helpful list of tips to help you drop water weight.

Consume More Natural Diuretics
A Diuretic is something that will help your system eliminate unwanted fluids better by making you pee more. Foods that are considered Diuretics are normally great in water content themselves, such as lettuce, watermelon, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Caffeine is also a diuretic, therefore any drink containing caffeine could help, such as coffee, tea or energy drinks. However, do mainly depend on caffeine as a diuretic as drinks using it are generally greater in the glucose.

Avoid Salt
High amounts of salt or sodium intake will make your body more likely to hold on to water and cause bloating.  Many doctors have even said your body sends you the warning you are consuming too much salt by saving that extra water.

Drink More Water
On the other hand if you are not drinking enough water every day, then your body will start to keep onto every ounce of water it can keep functioning normally. The National Academy of Sports Medicine suggests taking at least 96 ounces of water per day.

Another aspect that plays a large role on how much water weight you are holding is your daily carbs consumption, which brings me to my next point.

Low carb diets and weight loss
Have you ever considered why almost everyone who has tried the Atkins or similar low carbohydrate diets has the same story, “I lost weight quickly at first, but now it came back?”  The answer is easy, when you eat fewer carbohydrates on a daily basis; you begin dwindling down your glycogen stores.

This directly impacts the quantity of water weight your body stores and causes you to quickly drop water weight. This is how low carb diet plans assurance to “work”. I am not saying all low carbohydrate diets are bad, as some of them can be effective in  long term fat loss, I just felt more people needed to be aware of how they work so well the first few days or a week.

But as I said before, there is no “cookie cutter” diet I can suggest to all that will automatically make you reduce 5 pounds in 2 days. I wish it were that easy, however there are far too many individual aspects affecting your current water weight for me to apply the same idea to everyone. Although, I guarantee if you follow the key points I defined above, you will reduce as much water weight as your body will allow.

Remember losing water weight is not a lasting change, it can make you look better for now, but if you go back to eating great sodium meals like fast food and not taking enough water daily, you will gain it back just as fast as you lost it. Nevertheless, that does not mean losing water weight is useless, it is still a quick fix and the things you do to lose water weight are healthier for you in the long run anyway.
