1. Cut out all sugars and refined foods this very minute!
2. Start each day with a cup of hot water laced with the juice of one fresh lemon. When hunger or a craving hits, drink another cup of hot water and lemon.
3. Cut out all salt – salt adds pounds even if only water.
4. Eat fibrous vegetables including asparagus (which helps you shed water), green beans, radishes (also helps you shed water) and leafy greens.
5. Steer clear of bread no matter what it is made of. Most bread is made with wheat even if it is says rye on the label. Wheat can cause an inflammatory reaction in the gut which makes you bloat.
6. Make sure to start each day with a proper breakfast. It may seem counter-intuitive but eating breakfast helps to charge up the metabolism which is critical to burning fat fast.
7. After your cup of hot water and lemon jump on the treadmill and do a quick 30 minute cardio session to assist with weight loss and boost cardiovascular benefits.
8. Combine lean protein particularly from egg whites, non-oily fish and chicken breasts with complex carbohydrates from vegetables and whole grains at each meal.
9. Eat 6 small meals each day rather than 3 big ones.
10. Stop eating after 7:00 pm. This way the food you have eaten before this time will have a better chance of being burned off.
