probably seen countless times on magazines or book covers, and I am

Surprisingly it is actually doable for most individuals, as you can
technically lose 5 pounds in 2 days, but only around one pound of it
will be fat. The rest will come from water weight, which will help you

eat, drink and our physical activity.

Consume More Natural Diuretics
A Diuretic is something that will help your body remove excess
liquids better by making you urinate more. Foods that are considered
Diuretics are normally high in water content themselves, such as
lettuce, watermelon, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Caffeine is also a
diuretic, therefore any drink containing caffeine could help, such as
coffee, tea or energy drinks. However, do not primarily rely on caffeine
as a diuretic as drinks using it are commonly high in sugar.
