Have you left it a little late to lose those pounds? Try this 2 ways to slim down but please remember that this is an emergency weight loss plan and not one that should be continued for any length of time. Your health is far too important and you should respect it. Long term weight loss is a great plan but gradual and slow should be the name of the game. However for those last minute panics, these tricks will work.
The first day of your plan should be a juice only day. This means either pure water with a squeeze of lemon or some home made unsweetened fruit or vegetable juices. The latter will help to give you some key nutrients to keep you going. A day drinking just juices will not cause most people any health issues but it is definitely not suitable for those who are pregnant, already underweight or have any existing health problems such as diabetes, heart disease or kidney problems.
When making vegetable and fruit juices, try to use organic produce where possible. Always wash the items carefully before preparation. This is particularly important if you cannot afford organic as you want to get rid of as much of the preservatives as possible. When using celery and other root vegetables include the stalks and leaves in the juice as a lot of the nutrients are contained here. If not using organic, it is best to remove the roots, stalks and leaves and dispose of them.
Try combining carrots and apples or raspberry and peach. Just juice enough for one serving and drink immediately as the nutrients start to disappear very quickly. You can drink as much as you would like but aim to consume at least 1.5 liters of water so you do not dehydrate. Water should be filtered and not carbonated or flavored.
