Q: That's the whole secret to weight loss. And while the theory may be simple, the practice is really hard. One pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories, and to lose 10 pounds in seven days you'll need to lose about 1.4 pounds, or burn about 5,000 calories each day. Know that you will need to exercise a lot in order to burn 10 pounds in one week. Starving yourself is not an option. In fact, starving yourself makes weight loss harder, especially after you're done with your diet. Remember that you'll be burning calories while doing daily activities such as walking around, walking up stairs, and even breathing. It won't be many calories, but you don't have to expect to burn all your calories doing hard exercise. If you want to lose 10 pounds in a week, you'll need to burn 5,000 calories more than you take in per day. That's a lot. That's not meant to discourage you; it's only as a reminder of how hard losing 10 pounds in a week actually is. Prepare yourself for a tough, tough journey! Just to give you bit of an idea about how much that is, consider this: a 160 pound person burns about 1,000 calories playing competitive soccer for 90 minutes. That means you'd need to play competitive soccer for 7.5 hours during the day to burn 5,000 calories. This means that if you consume exactly 2,000 calories in food every day, your weight will stay the same you won't gain or lose weight. If you're trying to lose weight, as you probably do, a healthy person should consume at least 1,200 calories per day, regardless of what their diet is. If you eat 1,200 calories, you'll have about 4,000 calories to burn a day to meet your goal.
A: Take in fewer calories than you burn in a day. Understand that your goal is extremely challenging. Understand that the average person burns about 2,000 calories a day.

Q: If you don't want to take a full bath, you can take a Sitz bath, where you sit in a few inches of water. Add about 1 cup of Epsom salts to a full bathtub and 2-3 tablespoons of Epsom salts for a few inches of water in the tub. Keep the water warm, but not too hot. Repeat 2-3 times a day. Using Epsom salts may also speed up the healing process. Get a clean, cotton wash cloth and soak it in warm (not hot) water. Apply the compress directly to the hemorrhoids for about 10-15 minutes. Repeat 4-5 times a day. This should offer some soothing comfort. You can use a cotton pad soaked in witch hazel after a bowel movement. Witch hazel acts as an astringent and may help reduce swelling. Repeat as often as needed--at least 4-5 times a day. After having a bowel movement, be sure that you clean yourself completely to avoid irritation. You might want to use baby wipes or a pre-moistened toilet paper product rather than dry toilet paper to clean yourself. An ice pack may help reduce your hemorrhoidal swelling but it should not be left on for too long; limit the ice pack use to 5-10 minutes at most each time. Find a foam cushion or a doughnut cushion to sit on. This can help relieve some of the pressure associated with hemorrhoids. While this will not aid in "curing" your hemorrhoids, it may help ease your discomfort and make them easier to live with. Keep in mind that hemorrhoids are caused by too much pressure on your veins.
A:
Take warm baths to soothe your hemorrhoid. Apply a warm compress for pain relief and comfort. Shrink the hemorrhoids with an astringent. Clean yourself thoroughly after using the restroom. Apply an ice pack for 5-10 minutes to relieve swelling and pain. Sit on a cushion to relieve the pressure on your hemorrhoids.
