Q. How to lose 10lbs. in 30 days

A. Depending on how much you weigh this may or may not happen. If you weight 190 lbs. you could lose the 10lbs in 30 days. A smaller person it would be much harder to do. A woman that weighs more will be able to lose more weight initially and 2lbs. per week is fine, anything more than that is going to be mostly water and muscle.

I would also focus more on fat loss and not weight loss because fat loss is more permanent. Many women focus too much on scale weight when really it doesn't give you the full picture of what is going on. You could lose 10lbs of fat while gaining muscle and the scale might only go down by 5lbs. That is where women will go nuts because they are so focused on what the scale says, and not what their clothes are doing. If you're clothes are looser than you are going in the right direction and you look better. I have had many women look like they lost 10lbs on the scale but in reality they only lost 3 or 4 pounds on the scale.

Ok, so getting back to your question about losing 10lbs in 30 days. First off, you have to be dedicated to the process because if you're not then the weight/fat you lost will come right back on. You must first condition your mind and re-program it for ultimate fat-loss without doing this you will never get to your goal. I discuss many times how your subconscious mind is responsible for 97-98% of your beliefs and habits and your conscious mind is only 2-4%.

So once you have that down, then you can look to see what you are doing for your nutrition. This is crucial in losing weight/fat as you must have a deficit in your food intake but also make sure that the foods you are eating are what I call "fat burning" foods. All foods ARE NOT created equal, which means some foods will burn fat in your body, while others will store fat! I give these examples in my system so there is no guess work. For example a piece of chicken and a piece of white bread containing the same calories will break down differently in your body. Forget about those diets that have you counting points because it won't work in the long run, they will only ruin your metabolism since it's focusing on weight loss and not fat loss.

You need to make sure you are eating high quality, fat-burning foods so you can increase your metabolism. If you don't eat enough then your body will put on the brakes to burn fat. Eating smaller meals throughout the day will also help your body to burn more fat and keep your energy levels up.

Let's take a look at exercise now. Weight training will build lean muscle and believe me you want that because the more lean muscle you have the faster your metabolism will be. I suggest 3-4 weight training sessions a week. These sessions should be fat-burning in which you are using weight that is challenging and working out your whole body. Keep rest in-between set short as well. Cardio should be intense. Walking will not burn as much body fat as doing interval or HITT training. These are short, intense sessions that will keep you breathing hard.

Go at a pace where you are breathing heavy, but let me caution you if you are new to this pace yourself. Doing things too much too soon is not a good idea. If you do 5-7 cardio sessions (30-45 minutes) that are intense you will start to notice your fat melting away.

Keep in mind you need all these components when trying to lose fat/weight quickly and safely. My best advice is to think long-term and in doing so it will stay off and you will feel better about the process.
