Ways to lose five pounds.

• 1

  Try swapping unhealthy foods for healthier substitutes. Replace high-calorie sodas for low-calorie drinks or water. It's best to switch to water, but if you replace a daily two-Coke habit with diet sodas, you can lose one pound a week. Replace a bag of chips with a small apple and you can drop 400 calories. Ordering a 16oz. skim latte instead of one containing whole milk can cut out 100 calories.

• 2

  Reduce your carbohydrate intake. Replace carbohydrates such as cakes, breads, and pasta with raw foods like fruits and vegetables, and you'll begin to see a noticeable drop in weight.

• 3

  Begin exercising regularly. Simply by walking 30 minutes a day, you can start to burn more calories and drop your weight. More rigorous exercise, such as running, can lead to quicker weight loss.

• 4

  Boost your fiber. By eating fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber, you'll fill up faster, and clean out your body quicker than with other foods.
