1. Eliminate Sugar
If you eliminate sugar you will help detoxify your body and eliminate excess bloating. If you currently eat food with refined sugar, it will be tough the first day or two but the results will pay off. In just a week’s time your stomach will be leaner. Debating on how to curb your sugar intake? You make this your priority if you are ready to lose weight in 7 days.
2. Cut out Alcohol
Alcohol is another toxin people drink to relax and unwind. Unwind another way, like with a workout because alcohol will bloat your midsection and not help you lose weight in 7 days. So skip the alcoholic drinks at least until you reach your goal and your results will be worth it!
3. Eliminate or Cut Back on Caffeine
Caffeine, a toxin that stimulates your nervous system, may be helping you to start your day but in an unhealthy way. Try having a spinach smoothie or some natural sugar like a piece of fruit to awaken your body and mind. Caffeine causes excess bloating along with dehydrating your muscles.
4. Increase Your Activity
If you do not already exercise, get moving to some cardio now! You can begin with a walk/jog session, elliptical or bike for 30 minutes. This week you should exercise for 3-5 days and get losing for your end of the week goal.
5. Drink Lots of Water
How much water do you drink each day? Based on your activity level you should be drinking between 8-12 glasses of water daily. If you are tired of drinking the same old water, add a splash of lemon or lime. Lemon is a natural diuretic so it will also help alleviate bloating. People often confuse hunger for thirst so when you feel a hunger pang, have a glass of water first to see if this subsides.
6. Weigh in Every Morning
As a personal trainer for over a decade, I often advise clients against weighing in every day because this can become an obsession. But with just 7 days to your goal, a daily weigh in will keep you motivated, aware and help you to stay on track to your goal. When you wake up, weigh in before you have your breakfast; this is your true weight. Write this number down in a journal each day. If you stick to this plan, you can lose 3-5 pounds this week.
7. Eat Mini Healthy Meals Throughout the Day
Rather than eating three large meals that your body will have trouble digesting, graze on 5-6 mini meals that are light, healthy and will help you attain your goal. Eliminate meals after 8 pm and watch the weight and inches drop off this week. Remember with hard work, focus and an extra push in all your workouts, you can achieve your goal!
Now that you have some ways to help you lose weight in preparation for your next event, what are you doing? Get moving with these strategies to achieve great results!

Sophie: Hello Tara Zimliki! I am 13 years old and weigh 132 pounds. I have 19 inch thighs and am fatter than a lot of my friends. Please could you give me a diet and excersises to do? I have no idea where to start! Please can you help me? Thank you! Sophie
Ashley: Why does literally everything today focus on losing weight and dieting and being skinnier? why is there more things bombarding people with losing weight instead of just being confident and healthy? what about those of us who are naturally skinny? not everyone needs to lose 7 pounds in 7 days- also lots of people, like me. suffer from eating disorders-also, people can be underweight- do you think it helps me to suffer with anorexia and see things like this? ok-I understand lots of people struggle with being overweight-but lost of people really do not need to lose weight-no wonder everyone is so insecure
Serena: I did face in the hole and posted my face in an ideal body I wanted & used that for motivation
Alexis: I am gonna give it a try, I'll let u guys know how it went
Sara: Thank you
Jocelyn: I have been diagnosed with thyroid disease so that's one of the reasons why I've gained over 15 pounds , and it's all in my stomach . My metabolism is really low , I want to lose weight /:
Angels: walk a lot and stay positive! you can do it;)!
Charlene: I am intrigued and encouraged by what you've shared, I will do this. But I do have one concern; our youngest daughter is quite small and when teachers recommended she drink 8-12 glasses of water a day--they nearly killed her. It is called water intoxication. Her blood by volume couldn't handle it and we would never have known. If you have a slight frame and doctors think you are fit--even if you feel you could be better, drink what is healthy for you to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
