You are desperate and you need a fast solution fast. The family wedding will be in one week's time and you need to look great for that special occasion. You have tried your favourite suit or dress and can't fit into it. Now you realize you have put on too much weight but it is too late. What can you do to lose weight in a week?

You may be in the same dilemma as the situation mentioned above. However, do keep in mind that a quick weight loss within a week is not advisable; reason being the timing is too short and the measures taken will have to be extreme and may hurt your body in the long-term.

Moreover, the only thing you will lose within a week will be muscle tissue and water, nothing more than that. Remember, it took you years to put on the weight and to shed those pounds, it will take some time. If that weight loss program is done correctly, then that losing those pounds will be permanent.

Your problem is still here and the clock is tickling. You have no choice but to diet hard to shed extra weight. Well, if you follow the diet plan to lose weight, most like it will fail. Dieting will have adverse effect on your body by sending your body into a remote mode of starvation. Normally this mode will only kick in during time of crisis i.e. a long period of famine or when people are trapped under the rumble during natural disaster.

When you diet and starve your body, you will be taking lesser calories which in turn will lower your body's metabolic rate. This will reduce the body's fat burning ability and you'll be reducing less weight.

In the mean time, when you feel hungry, you will crave for certain food which is normally unhealthy food. You will then consume processed and high energy food to satisfy your hunger. This again doesn't help in losing more weight as those foods are known to contain more fat.

Research has shown that dieting is not the good method to lose weight. If you starve your body often, it will be harder to lose weight. In contrast, it will be easier for you to gain weight because you tend to go back to your old eating habits and when that happens, you may gain back the fat you lost and even worse may put on extra pounds.

Once you know this fact, you may think twice before going on diet for the purpose of losing weight. However, when you are desperate and in need to lose weight in week, you may engage in this hard technique. If you choose to diet hard, then add-in strength training to boost the metabolism caused by dieting. By engaging in strength training, you will boost your metabolism which will turn to more fat burning.

You only need to do between 20 to 30 minutes of strength training each week. Add in some high intensity exercise in between your weight lifting and this will add more fat burning abilities to your body. Remember, weight lifting is good as the increased metabolism will continue long after the exercise is done.

The main contributing factors in this technique are the intensity of performing this exercise and the recovery when the exercise is done. When you combine the weight training with short and high intensity and then take appropriate time to recover, then you will be able to lose more weight while building muscles at the same time.

In order to shed body fat and to maintain body muscle, you need to have a good program on long-term basis. When you consume quality food, then you'll be able to get more energy. High energy and processed food may fill your stomach but in the long run that will cause more harm to your body by adding more fat-something that you don't want to happen.

Ideally, you should go for healthy food i.e. fruits and vegetables and those in the grain group. For example, you can take more yummy fruit juice, crunchy apples, sweet oranges and etc....See how I describe those fruits, "yummy fruit juice, crunchy apples and sweet oranges?" When you think of foods in this manner, you'll be motivated to consume more of them.

Spread out your meals by taking small frequent meals. These meals should contain lesser protein in order to maintain your body's muscle and energy levels. You should also consume a wide variety of vitamins and mineral supplements from day to day.

Buy a calorie counter if you can afford it. Recording your daily calorie intake is important as you need to know how much calories you are consuming daily. Taking more calories means having more fat in the body and that will not be ideal in helping you to lose weight. Do your calories counting correctly and you may have an extra "evil day" to indulge in your favourite food.

You need to record your caloric intake on weekly basis and then average them to daily basis. The caloric number that you get will be the aim you go for on daily basis. Try to stay within your targeted caloric aim so that you can stay on course with your weight loss target.

Keep in mind that one-pound of fat contains 3500 calories. When you lose 1,000 calories a day, total it in a week and you'll get 7,000 calories. This is equivalent to two pounds of weight and this is done only through dieting. Add-in other fat burning activities i.e. weight training and exercise and you'll be losing more weight.

To lose weight fast within a week, you may also add-in more activities that you will not normally do. For example, you may park a few more blocks from the office and walk, taking the stairs more instead of the lift and walk you dog for an extra 30 minutes. When you increase these extra activities, you'll be burning fat more and losing more weight in a week. If you have treadmills at home, then put more time in it and walking or running (either indoor or outdoors) are good fat burning exercise.

When you exercise by walking or engage in other exercise, take precaution. If you feel tired and mildly puffing, take a rest. You may be working too hard and your body can't cope with it. When this happens, you body will draw energy from your carbohydrate reserves and not from your fat reserves and this again will not help to shed extra pounds.

So you have the abovementioned weight loss program that is going to help you to lose weight in a week. My advice is to stick to this program on short-term basis (one to two weeks) as this intensity to lose weight is just too quick. You may face trouble sustaining the program.

Instead of thinking short-term, think long-term which is more practical. By losing weight through a long-term program, you will be shedding those pounds on permanent basis.

You can aim to lose 2 pounds per week, and then between 30 to 50 pounds in a period of six months. Try not to engage in any quick short-term weight loss plan as whatever pounds you lose, may come back to you. It's just not worth taking risk to lose weight in a week.
