How To Quickly Lose 10 Pounds Without Suffering
- Halve-it: This is simple science, if you are only eating half the calories you normally consume, you will lose weight. Portion control is one of the best ways to shed weight quickly. Don’t change what you eat; just eat exactly half of what you would normally eat for lunch and dinner. For breakfast, eat a full, but well balanced meal before 9:30am, to ensure that you can burn it all off.
- Practice the Cinderella-Carb Rule: Avoid eating carbs after 12:00pm (noon). Increase your level of vegetables and proteins for lunch and dinner. You can keep the pancakes; just make sure they’re in the morning. This will ensure you have enough energy throughout the day but also gain the benefits of losing weight.
- Make better choices: OK, fried chicken is finger-licking good, but so is a baked chicken breast and it has fewer calories. Eat the foods you like, but eat them from cooking methods that are healthier. Steamed, baked, poached and pan-seared are all better methods than fried (and remember to halve it). Substituting whole milk to skim milk in your cups of coffee can shave off hundreds of calories.
- Snack Switch: If you crave sweet snacks, replace candies and pastries with fruit. You’ll satisfy your sweet tooth, with far less empty calories.
- Soda: Soda might be the worst thing you can put in your body if you’re trying to lose weight. Eliminate it all together. Instead, drink water or green tea. If you can’t shake the habit, at least move to stevia soda like Zevia, which has no sugar or artificial sweeteners.
- Take the Long Way: Find ways to walk more. Park in the furthest place possible at your work parking lot and walk. When you have breaks, walk somewhere, any where. Take stairs when you can. For lunch, go to a mall, eat your meal at the food court (bring your own lunch if there’s no healthy options available) and spend twenty minutes walking. You don’t even have to sweat…just walk. These tiny expenditures of calories are like ATM fees, they eventually add up–but this time in your favor!
- Sweat it out: If you belong to a gym, use the steam room and sauna. Sweating burns an amazing amount of calories and keeps your metabolism in high gear long after after your sweat. The other perk is that sweating is great for the skin.
- Wine/Beer/Liquor: Limit yourself to no more than one beer/glass of wine/or cocktail per day. In addition to the empty calories, being hungover the next day likely means a you’ll lay around feeling like poop when you could be out being active.

I feel like you don't really mention the issue of birth control while on the cleanse and that some of the Wright loss is bone and muscle

I am on the 5th day of the master cleanse my starting weight was 162 pounds and I weighed myself this morniy 159.2 pounds I am seriously disappointed I was hoping that I would lose more than that by now! However I will keep going to the 10th day and hope that I will lose more weight by then! I am following the MC diet to the T I don't know why I am not losing the weight as expected please if there is anything you can help me with let me know!!!?
I started the master cleanse on Monday weighing in at 167 it's Friday and I weigh 154 now I've lost 13 pounds in 6 days and I feel amazing and look a lot thinner my skin feels softer & smoother, I wasn't fat to begin with just not comfortable with my weight I'm in love with MC I can watch my coworkers eat pizza and say no Thank you! I plan on staying on the Mc for 7 more days in hopes to lose 15 pounds on top of the weight I've already lost. If you're considering doing the Mc stop and just do it!

I did the MC several yrs ago and lost 20 lbs. The people at work said, "It was like, one day you were there, and a few days later we said, 'Where'd Deb go?!' " They thought the loss was amazing. I wasn't fat, just a little overweight and wanted to lose it. I did. The weight stayed off for at least a year, and some of it for about two years...until I gradually slipped back into my old eating habits. Now, I am again a little overweight. I am 51 now, and the extra weight around my middle just makes me feel "yucky." I am starting the cleanse again tomorrow. I have been saying for awhile that I need to do it again, and now I am. When I did it before, only the first couple days were hard. After that I felt so much energy. I am really understanding the benefit of eating healthier, especially moreso as I age and my metabolism is slowing down. It's so much harder to lose it than it used to be. I am ready to jump-start again! I'm excited. Not sure why I waited so long, as I really believe in the benefits of the MC and know from experience!
