[QUOTE=Mouse6.2;5985909]One other thing, most think I'm crazy. We got a Vitamix blender, that thing is awesome. From my breakfasts I put in some baby spiniach,a carrot, some blue berries, (we have two bushes and collect a ton over the summer and freeze them) hand full of organic raw almonds and flax seeds with water and some times an apple thrown in. That is basically my breakfast. What surprises me is it keeps me until lunch.
Not bad but I would add some protein to that!

No pain no gain lol
For those who already do this the fat loss won't be much but for someone who doesn't do any of it the results can be significant.
Chances are, if you're like most people you don't have a lot of patience when it comes to dropping flab...and why should you, when you can achieve it quickly with the right approach.
With that in mind, is it really possible to drop 10 lbs in just 7 days?
Of course it is, especially if you have a fair amount of weight to lose...just follow these simple steps:
1. Ditch all the "white stuff." White breads, sugars, potatoes, cereals and even rice. (Exception: Cauliflower. It's a great choice.) These foods quickly convert to stored body fat.
2. Get to work. If you want to experience RAPID fat loss then you have to be willing to move that body. I'm talking truly intense exercise (if you're not sweating, you might as well just stop wasting your time). Fortunately, if you keep it intense, it doesn't have to be long...but some work IS required (go figure!).
3. Confuse your calories. If you just eat carrot sticks all day you're going to end up shutting down your fat-burning hormones and slowing down your metabolism; you'll gain weight in the long run. The trick is to "trick" your fat burning hormones by eating different amounts of calories each day. (And some days you need to eat a LOT more calories than others.)
4. Up your protein. Many people are eating too many carbs and not enough protein (like cottage cheese, beef, chicken, turkey, and my favorite -- protein milkshakes 
. Perhaps the coolest thing about protein is when you eat it, your body will use up to 30% of its calories just to digest it. That means 1000 calories of protein really equals about 700 calories. That's 300 free calories!
5. More fiber please. Many Americans have a digestive track that is loaded with "toxic waste." The reason is they aren't eating enough fiber (at least 30 grams a day) especially from sources like beans, vegetables and certain fruits. Up your fiber and you will rid your body of pounds of waste.
6. Drink like a fish. Drinking water causes you to retain water and feel bloated right? WRONG! Drinking the right amount of water helps your body burn fat and release excess water weight. Take your body weight and divide it by two. That's how many ounces you should get each day.
