Very difficult: It is almost impossible to lose 10 pounds of fat in a week, even with starvation. Start eating a sensible diet and exercise regularly and you will begin to lose weight gradually at about 1/2 pound per day. Pretty soon you'll be at your target. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Too fast: Eat healthfully. Try to eat at least 5 servings of vegetables & 4 of fruit per day. Increase nutritional fiber. Avoid refined sugar & junk carbohydrates. Avoid alcohol, sweetened juices, soda & caffeinated beverages. Aim for 7.5 to 8 hrs of sleep / night. Hydrate w at least 64 oz of water / day. Calories burned must > calories consumed. Do both cardio & weight training.
