How can I lose 10 pounds in a week?

I want to eat as clean as possible, no meat or sugary drinks. Like, this is what I have planned. Steel cut oats made with organic unsweetened milk and a sliced banana on top plus cinnamon for breakfast. For lunch, a salad with nuts/seeds and some fruit on the side like a kiwi and 3 large strawberries? For an afternoon snack, an apple and for dinner, a half a cup of quinoa with 2 pieces of broccoli, 2 pieces of cauliflower, some carrots, a little red onion, some corn and green beans. Of course drinking 4-5 bottles of water through out the day and 30minutes of walking I'm only 13 but from what I read, this is extremely healthy. Do you think I'll lose ten pounds in a week? I really want to do it the healthy way, I don't want to starve myself or not be eating enough of the healthy foods. Do you have any other advice, tips? Thanksss.

I am a health and fitness junkie so I can really help you here!First of all, for someone your age, it is very, very hard to lose 10 pounds a week even with exercise and a clean diet. Whenever you lose weight the hard way (and the right way), you gradually lose weight at a steady pace. Someone who loses that much weight in a week is either starving themselves or obese (Obese individuals lose weight very easily and rapidly because they have lots of unnecessary fats that burn right off). So, don't be discouraged if you don't lose the weight you initially wanted because dieting is a SLOW process, but worth it. Also, remember that your weight is a deceiving number. Your scale doesn't tell you how much muscle you have versus the fat you have. Me, for example. Before I started dieting and working out vigorously I was 105 pounds. After a few months I was 111 pounds and I look so much better now because I gained over 10 pounds of muscle instead of fat. Keep that in mind as well. It's not about what the scale says, but how you look and feel.Your diet sounds extremely healthy and nutritious. My only worry for you is that you're not getting enough protein. Try to add lean meats, eggs, or Greek yogurt to your plan. I'm a vegetarian and the way I get my protein is through protein shakes (with protein powder), eggs, and yogurt. You may find yourself getting hungry, and if you do, please eat. Listen to your body. If you need more food, get more food. Some good snacks to have if you're still hungry are almonds and any kind of fruits/veggies. The rule of thumb is to eat until your stomach is SATISFIED (not hungry, but not completely full).Also, if you want weight to come off faster, you'll need to be doing more exercise than 30 minutes of walking. Walking is great, but will burn minimal calories that I think you are looking for. I would look into interval training. Basically you do exercises as hard as you can for 30 seconds straight then take a 10 second break and repeat. Research that and I think it'll benefit you greatly. Interval training is much more effective than traditional running and will make you burn way more calories the next 3 days as a result. Also, try to tone your body. Many girls solely do cardio, but to make your body tight and firm, you need to tone. Each day look up toning exercises for your abs, butt, legs, arms, etc. and pick a body part to focus on each day.Happy you chose to get healthy :)

• You will not lose 10 pounds in a week. You'll be lucky if you lose 3 pounds. Losing weight by dieting takes much longer then you think. UNLESS your working out hardcore. But even then, you wont be losing 10 pounds a week. Losing weight is a gradual process. It's great you want to do it the healthy way, but unfortunately the healthy way takes time.
