How To Say Good Bye To A Few Pounds

We all want to lose a few pound really fast and easy, and I know your looking for the BUT in what i'm saying, so instead I will just give you the best ways that really work.

1. Drink lots and lots of water.
The more water you drink = The less water weight you'll carry around on a daily basis. When you don't drink enough water (when your body is a little dehydrated) your body will hold on tight to every single little drop of water it can to stay hydrated.  If you drink plenty of water, then your body will have no problem getting rid of any excess water. Lastly, drinking water will actually help you get a flatter stomach.
 

2. Lead off eating so much salt / sodium. Or better yet, no more than 1500mg a day.
Here is a couple of ways you can flush out excess salt & water. Eating too much salt forces your body to hold onto water just to process the extra salt you eat every day. 
1)    Do anything you can to make yourself sweat (and the more the better).

Exercise and be sure to wear sweatshirts or any other warm clothing to make you sweat more. Sitting in a steam room for 10 to 15 minutes will get rid of excess salt/sodium.

2)    Then drink plenty of water to flush out excess sodium and water.

3. Try to limit the amount of carbs (carbohydrates) you eat each day.
Each pound of carbs that is stored in your body has about 3-5 pounds of water packed into it. If you don't eat too many carbs for the next two days and let the carbs stored in your body burn up for energy - the 3-5 pounds of water that was packed in it will vanish as well.

Now, you should drink at least 1/2-to-1 ounce of water per pound of body weight.
NOTE: DO NOT drink your water all at once and try to drink your water by spreading out during your day.
