Clinically qualified dietitians and licensed nutrition specialists believe that you should not lose more than two pounds every week. “Any more aggressive than that, and you start compromising your metabolism,” Morris says. So look at the calendar and make a reasonable objective for the time you have. If you have two to three weeks till the big day, that’s fantastic! Aim to shed 5 pounds and feel more comfortable in your clothes. Only a week before the date? Do not lose hope. You can still debloat and lose a few pounds. Next, crunch the numbers. Determine how many calories you truly require and cut that quantity by 500 to 750 calories per day in order to lose 1 to 2 pounds. Reduce alcohol intake. Being a toxin, alcohol impedes weight loss in a number of ways. Drink sparkling water, spare the calories, and give your liver a rest. Reduce the extra sugar. Sugar is an inflammatory food in addition to being high in calories. Set down the soda, cookies, and candies; beverages account for nearly half of additional sugars. Chop the salt. Sodium causes bloating because it aids in the body’s ability to retain water. Give up processed foods, which account for 75% of the salt in a typical diet. Consume a lot of vibrant fruits and vegetables. Morris suggests preparing a large vegetable soup that is high in antioxidants, fiber, and water to help you feel full.
