Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Change your diet. The easiest thing that you can do to drop a few pounds to get ready for an event is to eat a bit less.
Step2
Worried that you won't feel full? Change the way that you eat, not just how much. Get rid of white flour and refined sugar. Eat more whole grains, more protein and more vegetables.
Step3
Eat smaller meals more often. Try eating 200-300 calorie meals every 3 hours to keep your metabolism in high gear.
Step4
Hit the gym. By working out and building more muscle, you'll lose the fat and trim down quickly.
Step5
Make time for cardio; exercise isn't just about building muscle, it's also about getting out and burning calories: ride a bike, swim or go for a run.
