1 week quick fix diet - help?

kamsbryant

I have one week to drop a bit of excess weight before I go on holiday.

I've been loosing weight heAlthily and gradually for about a year now but I just want some quick tips for this week just so I can drop 2-4lbs before I go on holiday if possible...

I'm drinking lots of water and green tea to help flush but what should I be eating this week to help push it even more? I hear limiting carbs and fats (only really eating protein and some greens) would help work quickly??

I normally eat around 1300-1600 kcal a day and that just about maintains my weight, so I'm planning on eating 1000-1200 this week??

You can drop a few pounds of water weight, but not a significant amount of actual fat. The water weight will come back as soon as you start eating and drinking normally. (so....like one day into vacation). If that is what you are looking to do, you can cut back on sodium as well as carbs for a quick drop in water weight.

Abandon the quick fix plan. Keep doing what you are doing. Go on vacation and have a good time, but don't go crazy. When you get back, it's back to work.

As others have said, there's no quick fix. If you drop water weight, it will just come back after a day or two while you're on your holiday. Just keep doing what you're doing and the next time you have a holiday, you'll be that much closer to your goal.

Quick fix and weight loss are some words that should never be in the same sentence or thought. The two don't and never will apply to one another.

THIS!

I will often knock out starchy carbs, processed foods and sodium before an event so I'm not bloated but as soon as I hit the bread basket and cocktails it's right back the next day so this approach won't be helpful for a full week.

Keep doing what you're doing, eat a normal amount and go have fun!

what significant difference will 2-4 lbs make?

In for the wacky responses that this is bound to get

Branstin

Buy a spanx.

PunkyDucky

2-4lbs from where?!
That's not much for a physical change unless you already have a low body fat percentage.

Just continue your eating and enjoy that holiday, hun

Is your desire to visibly change your appearance in 7 days? If so that is not going to happen. You can do things to drop a few pounds of water weight but that won't make a change to your physical appearance that anyone is going to notice.

KylaDenay

2-4 pounds isn't much of a difference. Just keep up what you are currently doing and go have a great time.

If you have 7 days- I suggest either the Cabbage soup diet or the 3-Day Military diet. it will help you drop a few more pounds and they are actually pretty easy!

This is terrible, unhealthy and unethical advice. Starving the body of necessary energy and nutrients will not do anything but cause her to lose some water weight, be cranky and likely overeat once the process has ended, leaving her in a worse state than if she'd just continued to eat at a modest deficit. The end outcome of most of these ridiculous starvation diets tends to be weight gain, not weight loss due to the likelihood of binging afterwards.

OP, do not take this advice.

I appreciate your opinion however- how is this starving your body? I do the cabbage soup cleanse once every 8 weeks and I still make sure to hit 1200 calories. Do a little research on it.. foods are UNLIMITED they are just specific.

No.

No.

Again, no.

And more no.

Yes. I do not do this to lose weight. I do it for a cleanse. If it makes the OP happier doing it and seeing a little movement on the scale regardless if it is water weight or not- is not up to you nor I.

I personally do the 7 day cleanse every 8 weeks. I do lose about 5lbs and end up gaining 2 back, typically. I do this for a cleanse though. Not to lose weight. That is just an extra added bonus

A way to lose some weight fast in a week before holiday is to do what I do.
For one week I eat around 800 - 900 calories a day.
E.g. for the day I would eat: one bowl of cereal, one mango, fat free yogurt, cracker bread with a thin spreading of Philadelphia cheese, hot chocolate, sugar free squash.

It's hard, but if it's only for a week to shed those extra few pounds then it will work. Worked for me every year.

Strong first post.

A way to lose some weight fast in a week before holiday is to do what I do.
For one week I eat around 800 - 900 calories a day.
E.g. for the day I would eat: one bowl of cereal, one mango, fat free yogurt, cracker bread with a thin spreading of Philadelphia cheese, hot chocolate, sugar free squash.

It's hard, but if it's only for a week to shed those extra few pounds then it will work. Worked for me every year.

NO. NO. NOPE. NO. NOPE. NO NO NO NO NO.

1000X NOPE.

Promoting unhealthy weight loss is against the terms of service for MFP.

I have one week to drop a bit of excess weight before I go on holiday.

I've been loosing weight heAlthily and gradually for about a year now but I just want some quick tips for this week just so I can drop 2-4lbs before I go on holiday if possible...

I'm drinking lots of water and green tea to help flush but what should I be eating this week to help push it even more? I hear limiting carbs and fats (only really eating protein and some greens) would help work quickly??

I normally eat around 1300-1600 kcal a day and that just about maintains my weight, so I'm planning on eating 1000-1200 this week??

If you have 7 days- I suggest either the Cabbage soup diet or the 3-Day Military diet. it will help you drop a few more pounds and they are actually pretty easy!

This is terrible, unhealthy and unethical advice. Starving the body of necessary energy and nutrients will not do anything but cause her to lose some water weight, be cranky and likely overeat once the process has ended, leaving her in a worse state than if she'd just continued to eat at a modest deficit. The end outcome of most of these ridiculous starvation diets tends to be weight gain, not weight loss due to the likelihood of binging afterwards.

OP, do not take this advice.

I appreciate your opinion however- how is this starving your body? I do the cabbage soup cleanse once every 8 weeks and I still make sure to hit 1200 calories. Do a little research on it.. foods are UNLIMITED they are just specific.

So, if you're hitting 1200 calories, what's the point of this diet? Why not just eat food like a normal person?

I apologize if I did not make myself very clear.. I do it as a CLEANSE not a day to day diet..

You cleanse every time you poop and pee. (with or without the cabbage soup nonsense)

OP do not listen to this or the cabbage soup advice. You seem to already be on the right track and know what you are doing. Continue to take the smart route and listen to the majority here. They know what they are talking about.

Strong first post.

Yeah, the ticker and the statement that it's done 'every year' isn't doing the advice any favors.

Yes thanks for asking! I like to cleanse any toxins. No one is perfect when it comes to eating and we all slip up and have processed foods, alcohol, refined sugars, etc. "toxins" if you will. The 7-Day cleanse has really helped me FEEL good

Well if it makes you feel good, I can see why you do it. But eating food or drink does nothing to remove any "toxins". The body is very efficient at eliminating waste and processing the "chemicals" from food that comes into the body.

PRMinx

it's all water weight; you do realize that, correct?

Yes. I do not do this to lose weight. I do it for a cleanse. If it makes the OP happier doing it and seeing a little movement on the scale regardless if it is water weight or not- is not up to you nor I.

I personally do the 7 day cleanse every 8 weeks. I do lose about 5lbs and end up gaining 2 back, typically. I do this for a cleanse though. Not to lose weight. That is just an extra added bonus

and may i ask, cleansing of what?

Do you have a medical condition that prevents your liver and kidneys from working properly?
