Healthily way to lose 5 pounds in a week?

What's the rush?: Slow and steady wins the race. I start with a low glycemic, anti-inflammatory, hormonally correct plant based protein powder (provides great nutrients, vitamins, minerals, enzymes) and all the green leafy vegetables you want. Eliminate wheat, dairy, and soy. Do this x 2 weeks. Also curbs cravings. To this i often add pure green coffee bean extract liquid to lower post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Slower is better: 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.
