How to lose water weight in 1.5 days?

EmCeeKayla

I need to lose a lot of water weight. I don't care how much. I need to lose it.
Someone told me I can lose it by drinking a lot of water and by exercising and avoiding carbs?

Any tips. Healthy or not. I need to make a weight for ballet.

drink TONS of water all day today and avoid salt.

Unless you are talking about losing a lot of weight, I would forgo the exercise today.

Tomorrow, don't eat or drink until you weigh in.

How much weight are you talking about? How do you know it's water weight?

Exercise can make the body hold on to water (to repair muscles, I think?). The best way to lose water weight is to drink a lot of water throughout the day and avoid sodium.

I need to lose any amount I can lose.
I'm on the edge of too heavy for my weigh in. I'm EXTREMELY short and I weigh 109 pounds. I just need to honestly stabilize this.
I know I probably have a lot of water weight because I consume a TON of sodium. I'm also just really bloated in general from my TOM.

Take a hot Epsom salt bath and sleep in sweats the night before.. no water the day of... that'll drop 5-6 lbs.

Tips:
~ Drink more than 8 glasses of water every day til WI
~ Avoid sodium
~ Eat plenty of veggies / some fruits
~ Keep eating protein
~ Try drinking a smoothie (all natural)
~ Exercise, but keep it light
~ Stretch for at least 5-10 minutes after exercise
~ Get rid of fluids prior to WI
~ Wait to eat (if WI is in the morning) until after WI

Good luck!!

yeah, don't eat any salt that you can avoid and drink a lot of water, but cut yourself off at bedtime. This is gross, but you should be peeing clear by this afternoon.

If you exercise regularly, you can do some light cardio to sweat, but I wouldn't do any resistance training at all. If you don't exercise regularly, I would probably skip the exercise altogether.

You can find great and healthy things to put in your water that are natural and will quicken weight loss due to water weight and some are also a natural detox. They can speed things up in a healthy way.. Again.. surf for some ideas, but only go by the ones with natural ingrediants.

Here is just one example I tried and really liked:

To boost weight loss - 2L water, 1 medium cucumber, 1 lemon, 10-12 mint leaves. steep overnight in fridge and drink every day. Also great for general detox--including clear skin!

You look fantastic by the way.. can't believe you have to lose that for ballet?

Thanks. and Yeah my instructor prefers us to have a BMI of under 20. 109 pounds puts me at 19.9. I'm like in the dangerzone for that.

Go for an hour long walk wearing a lot of clothes to sweat out some extra water the morning of the weigh in (but be very careful do not get too dehydrated)

Try some Senna Tea as well (or "Dieter's Tea) -- will help empty your intestines and pulls water along with it. Add Lemon juice, pure cranberry and dandelion root tea to your water too.

I went on a cruise and had WAY too much sodium. I upped my water to 14-16 cups a day and I lost 3ish pounds of water weight in the last 3 days.

FYI- stay near a bathroom though. That stuff is powerful but can be painfull. Also make sure to steep it a long time.

I went from eating primarily processed foods to eating all raw, home-made, super healthy foods in the beginning of July. I did it cold-turkey. In the first week, I lost 10 lbs of water weight.

I didn't eat any less (Well, I might have, but I was eating a healthy amount), still ate lots of carbs, but nothing came out of a box. The only pre-made stuff I ate was gluten-free bread.

I lost another 7 lbs by the end of July.

OTC water pill. Diurex, I think. It's just caffeine but it will make you pee off a lot of water.

Not going to lie... that's concerning you don't care if it's healthy or not....

Do a kidney detox and drink a lot of water, avoid salt...

MrDude_1

Just do it like any other sport.

1. Caffeine.. or other diuretic makes you piss out water.
2. alcohol.. dehydrates you. go drinking the night before.
3. if you're still borderline after you wake up, make a sauna.. hot shower in a small closed off bathroom, and sweat it out.

Everything other people suggested, plus, if you have a chance, try a sauna.
Green tea will work great, too, as it is highly diuretic.

This article may be interesting:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2058580/How-Adriana-Lima-gets-shape-Victorias-Secret-fashion-show.html
It explains how VS models prepare for the fashion show, and I am sure it includes losing all water weight and bloating.

It's insane, though:

"The mother-of-one also drinks a staggering gallon of water a day - and no liquids for 12 hours ahead of the show on Wednesday.
Adriana, 30, told The Telegraph: 'No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that.'
The model has spent countless hours in the gym boxing and lifting weights, working out every day from August and bumping up to twice a day three weeks before hitting the runway.
For nine days, she will have no solid foods."

only a gallon? In a day? Doesn't seem like all that much, but I guess she is only like 5'4 and probably 100 lbs!

For nine days, she will have no solid foods."

wow...

I'm new here. Why would this need moderation?

MrsAzriel

As a former mixed martial artists, we did whatever it took to make weight for fights. That is just the nature of the beast. I walked away because it wasn't the life I wanted to live, but if ballet is important enough to the OP to make weight for, then good for her.

The suggestions above are really good. My weigh ins were always in the afternoon and I'd sip water and not eat until after them. It sucks but that's just part of the life.
