Have a big event coming up soon? Want to be able too lose a few pounds before it arrives? Well, if so, there are some things you can do if you need to lose weight fast.

Please don’t think that you are going to drop 20 lbs. in a week, you’re not. Even if that were possible, and I’m not sure it is, it would be unhealthy for you.

Your better bet is to start early. I mean, come on, let’s face facts, we know if we have a wedding or a class reunion coming up. We have plenty of time to lose weight if we really want to, don’t wait until the last minute.

If you just want to lose 5 – 10 pounds in a few weeks, that is much more realistic.

Now, I’m going to warn you, some of these tips are borderline unhealthy. For many people, if they aren’t done to extreme or for too long, they are fine but you have to talk to your doctor first.

Getting your doctors ok is the best way to ensure success and that you don’t end up in the hospital. Talk to your doctor and run any type of weight loss plan by her before you start, not after.

So, if you need to lose weight fast, here are some tips I recommend:

1. Find a healthy cleanse or fast. Sometimes you may accomplish both at the same time. There are many recipes online that will allow you make a cleansing drink. You can then go on a diet for a few days which will consist mainly of a liquid diet with only a little bit of solid foods.

Always make sure you talk to your doctor first and always make sure you stay on such a program for no more than 2 or 3 days.

This can help you clean out your body and purge excess toxins out of your system. Most of the weight loss you see will only be water weight and you will gain much of it back when you go off the cleanse, but it may be enough to help you fit into that new suit or dress for your special event.

2. Drink more water. At first you may actually get a little bloated but after a day or so you should see you are losing water weight. That is because you are going to the bathroom more frequently.

You will also flush excess toxins from your system. Another benefit is that you are keeping your body well hydrated which will improve the appearance of your skin and hair.

3. Do not starve yourself. Instead eat 5 or 6 small, nutritious meals daily. When you do that you are keeping your metabolism working more efficiently and burning hot all day long.

That is the best way to lose weight more quickly. I lost 6 pounds in one week using this method and the best part was that I lost excess body fat and not just water weight.

Just include the right balance of lean protein, carbs and fat. Find out how much of each you should have by talking to your doctor first.

If you need to lose weight fast make sure you talk to your doctor, stay healthy and use these ideas as a starting point.

When you need to loss weight fast results that you can see right away will help keep you motivated. Before you start your weight loss regimen always talk to your doctor to make sure you are healthy enough for the strenuousness of the exercises you will need to be doing. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

Once your doctor tells you you are healthy enough then start with a thirty minute walk around the neighborhood where you live. Get your spouse or your kids involved with this too. Make the whole family healthier at the same time. Or, get everyone on their bikes and go to one of the parks in your area. Most parks have trails that can be ridden. Just make sure to take some bug spray along for the ride.

If you live where there is a bike trail that could be fun too. Especially if the ride ends at the ice cream shop in town. Small scoops for everyone, though, no need outdoing the one thing you are trying to do which is to loss weight fast. There may be some grumbling right off the bat but making this a family priority and seeing how much fun getting regular exercise can be when the whole family is together they will soon be asking to go.

Granted when you live in a place that gets a good amount of winter you will have to adjust the things you do but who says you can’t go to these same parks or bike trails with some snowshoes or even some cross country skis to get your workouts in the winter? You will stay warm because of the exercise and then you can treat yourself and the kids to some nice hot cocoa when you get home.

If the outdoor activities get to be too much of a challenge then you can always join a gym to get your workouts, or even in addition to the outdoor activities. Start the gym workout with thirty minutes of cardio. The treadmill, the stationary bike, or the elliptical work well for this. The aerobic aspect of these machines will help get your heart rate up and burn more calories.

Then move on to the weight training. You can use the free weights or the weight machines. Building lean muscle will help you burn more calories when your body is at rest as well as when you are working out. You will be toning as well which will make you look better and better as time goes on.

If you choose a gym workout as the way you want to loss weight fast then make going to the gym a habit. Set a time to go and do not waver from that time. If you do not train your mind to work out at the same time as your body to work out then you will not be successful in your endeavor to lose the weight you want to lose.
