When I said to start at the top in order to lose weight I literally meant your head. That's about as high up at the top as you can go. Our minds are very powerful when it comes to changing our habits. I recently did a seven day detox and the first two days you have to fast. I was absolutely amazed at the battle that went on inside my head! Even though I was not feeling hungry physically my brain kept saying don't you want a cookie or apple or something.
No one ever told me that I would have this battle going on inside of my head. And it was pretty hard to ignore. So the first step in losing 10 pounds in a week is to learn how to battle or ignore the little voice in your head. Try going outside for a little walk or meditating. Play with your pets or read a book. Do something to distract yourself or occupy your time. If you can conquer this one the rest will be a lot easier.
The next important thing to remember when you sit down for dinner is to make a fist. Keep in mind always that our stomachs are about the size of our fist, so do you really need a 24oz Porterhouse steak,plus a baked potato,plus vegetables oh and let's not forget the bread! See what I'm saying? As kids most of us Baby Boomers were taught to eat all of the food on our plates right? So every time you eat make a fist and remind yourself that this is all you can fit in your stomach. That's why they say it is better to eat five small meals a day.
Exercise, how many of you hate that idea? This is how I handle that one, I pull both legs to my chest upon waking even before getting out of bed. Then I extend my legs in the air and try to touch my toesabout 40 times (this helps your abs),then I get out of bed and bend over and touch my toes to stretch my back. This little thing will help your midsection. Trust me my doctor of thirteen years commented on my abs. Other than that the best exercise is walking and as we started out saying this is a great stress reliever and a good way to clear your head.
Just remember before you eat to ask yourself "am I really hungry?" Drink a glass of water before you eat, this will help you to feel full and try to drink room temperature water. Drinking cold water has an effect on the blood vessels in your intestines and slows down your digestive process.
All of these little tricks can really make a big difference to just about anyone. Here are a few more:
1-cut down and try to eliminate white sugar
2-eliminate white flour
3-don't drink soda, especially diet it is loaded with toxins.
4-cut down on dairy only use organic
5-eat breakfast
6-eat more fruits and vegetables, they fill you up and help keep your digestive system working.
7-Drink only filtered, purified or distilled water and lots of it!
