How to Lose Weight in Two Weeks Without Pills

If you have an important event to attend, such as a wedding or class reunion, you will want to look your best--and that might mean slimming down. Losing weight fast can be hard, and often requires a lot of dedication and time. Diet pills are available; however, you can drop pounds in two weeks without the aid of a supplement. By following a nutritious plan, you can lose up to 6 pounds safely in just 14 days.

Instructions

• 1

  Stop drinking soft drinks. You should also cut out juice and flavored water, as they contain high caloric values and simple carbohydrates---the carbohydrates that are associated with weight gain. Instead, drink 0.5 ounces of water for every pound you weigh.

• 2

  Eat smaller meals more often. Try to consume six small meals---breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three healthy snacks---throughout the day. Depending on your current height and weight, eat 300 to 400 calories for your main meals and 100 to 150 calories for snacks. Eat nutrient-dense foods that are high in vitamins and minerals and low in calories, such as lean proteins and fresh produce.

• 3

  Start a cardiovascular exercise program. Exercise each day for 45 minutes to an hour or more--if you have the time and energy. If you don't have enough time for a long cardiovascular session, do a high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout for 20 to 30 minutes. HIIT burns more fat in a shorter period of time, as you will be raising your intensity and resistance every minute or two. According to bodybuilding.com, high intensity interval training is more effective than normal cardiovascular exercise.

  Weigh yourself every few days. Typically, dieters should check their weight once a week; however, it is a good idea to weigh more often with a two-week time line. Make sure to step on the scale at the same time for each weigh-in, as your weight can fluctuate throughout the day.
