How to Lose Weight in 2 Weeks

If you are looking for how to lose weight in 2 weeks then following these tips should help you achieve that.

First of all this is not something that you are necessarily expected to stick to permanently, this is more aimed at somebody looking to lose weight in 2 weeks perhaps because they have a specific event coming up like a holiday or wedding.

There are there things that you need to think of, diet, supplements and cardio. 

First off your diet for 2 weeks is going to be very low carb based; the only carbs are going to come from fibrous veg like spinach, broccoli, peppers and tomatoes. Although for a lot of people the jury is still out when it comes to low carb diets, if you are looking to lose weight in 2 weeks then there will be very few people that will disagree that a low carb approach is the right way to go.

An example diet would be:

Breakfast1 cup of berries with 2 boiled eggs and 1 glass of water.

Lunch
150g of lean meat such as turkey or chicken breast, 1 teaspoon of light mayonnaise, ½ cup of baby carrots and 50g of spinach. Flavour with pepper of spices.

Dinner
150g of chicken and broccoli with a splash of extra virgin olive oil to flavour.

This diet is just a base and can be customised by swapping the meat for healthy oily fish such as sardines and the vegetables can be swapped for other fibrous veg.

For snacks between meals, nuts can be consumed but try and stay away from salty ones. For those who like deserts sugar free jelly has very little calories so feel free to each that if it helps keep you going.

SupplementsThere are many weight loss supplements out there that will help you along. Some help supress your appetite making sticking to strict diets easier, others slightly increase the metabolism and others slightly raise your body temperature meaning you burn more calories. These are definitely worth looking into to help you along.

There are also many other tips on the internet for how to lose specific amounts of weight in certain time spans plus tricks to tighten your stomach so these are definitely worth looking into.

Cardio
Although sticking to a strict diet can be enough to lose weight, if you have a specific aim to lose weight in 2 weeks then adding cardio will definitely help speed things along.

There are 2 methods of cardio that I recommend and if possible I would recommend do either f these 4 times a week:

Unfuelled steady state cardio
This would be done first thing in the morning before breakfast. Something like a brisk walk/slow jog or a steady ride on a bike for 30-45 minutes. The idea is to be at a pace so you aren’t out of breath so not to start burning muscle but at a fast enough pace so your body starts using fat as its fuel for the cardio.

High Intensity Interval Training
This can be performed anytime in the day but it is not recommended to do this unfuelled. The idea is to spend around 20 minutes switching between a steady speed to a fast speed. A common way to split it up would be to jog for 30 seconds and then sprint for 30 seconds or do similar on a bike.

I’ve seen good results with both methods so feel free to use whichever fits with your lifestyle best.

There are also many other tips on the internet for how to lose specific amounts of weight in certain time spans plus tricks to tighten your stomach so these are definitely worth looking into.
