How do you lose two pounds in a week?

Losing 2 pounds is a process that can take about a week to complete safely. In order to lose 2 pounds, you will need an exercise plan and healthy food.

1. Exercise regularly

   Make sure that you are getting enough exercise. Because weight loss comes from net loss of calories, exercise is very important. An hour of cardiovascular exercise daily is a good way to stay in shape and, if followed strictly and paired with proper eating, can help you lose 2 pounds in a single week.

2. Eat healthy

   Cut the sugars and starches out of your diet. Try to emphasis healthier foods like vegetables, fruits and lean sources of low-fat protein. These types of food will help you to feel fuller without increasing your caloric intake too much. It is also important to get enough water daily.

3. Count your calories

   Keep track of how much food you are eating and figure out how many calories you are taking in. If you have a net loss of around 500 calories every day for a week, you may lose approximately 2 pounds. Make sure you incorporate exercise and diet together when accounting for your daily calorie intake. Do not skip meals as a way to cut down on your caloric intake.
