Of course you are going to be cynical and I would be too if I wasn't the author of a best selling diet ebook Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks but I can tell you from the hundreds of satisfied clients I have had tell me a 10 day or 2 week diet if you prefer can really work for you.Provided of course it is safe, nutritionally balanced and you should for good measure include a light exercise routine.

Have you looked at yourself in a mirror recently? If not I want you to next time you have a bath or shower to take time to look at yourself. Are you pleased with what you see or horrified? How do you look when you look at your naked body in a full length mirror?

I find people who step on the weighing scales always feel that they are being cheated if one day they weight 1-2 pounds more than the day before it happens so don't worry. If you want why not give my method a try either use a mirror or take a digital photo of yourself every 3 days it really works wonders as you will see gradual changes that the scales might hide.

Many people think they are desperately overweight because they wear clothing that makes them look fatter than they really are or they only ever see themeselves from above.When you look down on yourself and you see your tummy of course you look fat.

So after giving it some thought you have decided if you are going to fit in that dress or swim suit you are going to try a diet for a couple of weeks.

It might have been a couple of months when you knew you were going to need to be ready for the special event but before you know it life gets in the way and you find yourself having a couple of weeks to lose around 8-10 pounds so you can get into that bikini you brought last year.

Imagine this you stopped eating and are now maybe 4-5 days in to your starvation diet your probabaly feeling tired,fed up, depressed and on top of all that could eat just about anything.Being so hungry at living on next to nothing will just make you sad and is not the way to go about things.

It doesn't matter whether you are getting married and trying to squeeze in to your wedding dress or planning a honeymoon to Hawaii or just going to a family party the result is the same by the time you have starved yourself for a couple of weeks you don't even want to go out let alone go out and enjoy yourself.

Lets see you've decided you want to lose 10 pounds but if you lost 6 or 8 perhaps even 9 pounds would it really be that much of big deal? Why of course not it's not that big a deal let your eyes show you how you are progressing (remember using a mirror or camera) Now just close you eyes a minute and dream ...

How much more stunning and brimming with self confidence you will feel when your wearing that sexy dress or pretty bikini, think of all that attention and romance you are going to be getting when your partner gets a sight of your stunning new look and if your single you'll be fighting the guys off.

Are you excited by that being a possibility much more enticing than thinking about diet plans and eating rabbit food. Don't think of the diet as being important, it isn't all it is is the route to your ultimate destination and knowing how good that will feel will get you there.

I telling the truth you really don't need a wonder pill after all you can't take pills forever. But when you really believe and want to make a change, it won't matter if it's a 14 day a 10 day diet or a complete change of lifestyle you will get there.
