How to Get Slimmer in Four Days

When you're trying to lose weight quickly, it's important to keep in mind that long term results won't happen overnight. Serious weight loss is more of a lifestyle change than a fad diet. There are, however, several tips that can help you to shed some pounds within a few days and appear slimmer overall. You won't be able to achieve drastic weight loss results, but you will be able to lose weight without too much work on your part.

Instructions

• 1

  Drink only water. While other drinks are high in sugar, carbs, sodium and calories, water has none of that. Drinking water also helps to boost your metabolism and rid your body of any water weight you may have had previously, which helps you to appear even slimmer.

• 2

  Switch from eating white grains to eating whole wheat. White grains, such as white rice or white bread, have very little nutritional value and also cause you to look bloated. White grains are also digested quicker, which can lead to you feeling hungry later on and overeating.

• 3

  Eat healthier. The trick isn't to starve yourself, but to instead eat foods that contain less fat and more nutritional value. Instead of eating a burger and fries for lunch, opt for something healthier instead, such as chicken salad.

• 4

  Eat more fish, particularly salmon. Fish are packed with nutrients that help to build muscle and give your skin a soft, healthy glow. After eating just once serving of salmon, your face will look more toned, giving you an overall slimmer appearance.

• 5

  Eat healthy and often. The worse thing you can do when trying to slim down quickly is to skip meals. This only slows your metabolism down and your body starts to conserve fat, thinking that you're starving. Digesting food, on the other hand, burns calories and helps to speed up your metabolism. By eating smaller portions of healthy food more often, you increase the amount of weight you lose quicker than if you skip meals.

• 6

  Avoid salty foods as these cause you to look bloated. Instead of reaching for popcorn or peanuts as a snack, try eating something high in potassium, such as a banana or cantaloupe. The potassium in these fruits will help to stabilize the fluids in your body and create an overall slimmer look.
