You have to attend an important function in just 10 days, and you desperately want to fit into that beautiful dress you had bought quite some time back. However, your paunch that has surprisingly sprung up quite recently and stands in the way of your body being called perfect. What do you do? Well, instead of running around from one shop to the other hunting for corsets, here are some handy tips that would help you lose that paunch in just 10 days.
Stop Crash Dieting
Most of us tend to start crash dieting in a bid to reduce weight as fast as possible. Not only will this not help you reduce weight at all, but it would also make you lose vital nutrients in the process, thereby making you look undernourished and weak. Rather than crash dieting, consider eating smaller meals every day. Opt for six small meals as akin to the standard three big meals. This would keep you full for longer periods, and prevent you from binge eating as well. You would start noticing the difference very quickly.
Reduce Carbs
Although carbs are required for energy, too much of it can be bad for the system and stand in your way when attempting to lose weight. So skip the carb rich foods for a few days. Consume only the necessary amount of carbs your body needs while sticking to only good carbs for the same purpose.
Increase Protein
A protein rich diet can help you tackle that paunch quickly and effectively. So opt for foods like fish, egg whites, dairy products (the skimmed variety), beans, chicken, etc. while avoiding foods like meats and rich curries. Substitute baked fish and meats for the fried varieties.
Increase Water Intake
In addition to keeping you hydrated, water can flush out harmful impurities and toxins from the body, thereby promoting healthy metabolism, which in turn would help you reduce weight effectively. So make sure you drink at least eight glasses of water every day.
A little bit of Exercise
While eating right would help you lose weight, you need to opt for some exercises like crunches to make sure you lose weight in the right places. Crunches can be performed at home itself without the need for a gym or a personal trainer. Accordingly, you can opt for the bicycle crunches wherein you need to paddle your legs in the air while performing the crunches, or put your hands behind your head and raise your upper torso so that your head touches your knees.
