I have a friend that is in a contest. He needs to lose 30 pounds to be able to have a chance to win. Anyone have any advise on what he needs to do? By the way he has bad knees too.

    Depends how much he's starting at but I'd say it's not going to happen and to try would be insanity! (& not the workout program)

    He could cut off a limb.

    or two... he doesn't need his legs right? For the two, that would be up to 40% of his weight right there!

    A liquid fast, boost shakes, water, and he is going to be very hungry, I mean extremely hungry. BE CAREFUL

    I did liquid diet for 2 weeks to be honest it was only for medical reasons and i wouldn't want to do it again !

    I dropped 20.9 pounds, but boy for the 1st 3 days I thought I was going to die, but by the 5 days I felt brilliant

    Bahaha that is too funny. Personally I would try Atkins but if he is super desperate he can try the 48 hour Hollywood Diet.

    My sister tried the 48 hour hollywood diet and ended up puking up a ton of stuff that looked like coffee grounds!!

    For a workout try pool exercises they won't hurt his joints. Secondly depending on how large he is he could do it if he really I mean REALLY limits his caloric intake. I've lost 15lbs in less than 20 day so it is possible but there are a whole slew of factors that have to be weighed. But I spend 2-3 hours a day in the gym busing butt and I diet like there is no tomorrow (healthy diet tho I'm not rushing to the finish line.) I want to lose 30 lbs by my birthday at the end of April.
