How to Lose 10 Pounds in Seven Days

Losing 10 pounds in seven days is not entirely impossible, but it does take a drastic lifestyle change and concentrated dedication to achieve such results. To burn one pound of body weight, you must burn 3,500 calories. Therefore, the math in losing 10 pounds would suggest that you must burn 35,000 calories. When the daily calorie consumption is drastically dropped, you will lose more than just fat; you will also burn water weight and a small amount of muscle.
