It's pretty obvious...work out. Losing fat requires control of your diet - lifestyle changes that are nutritional as well as including a workout program.0

Lyle McDonald's crash diet. It's a "modified protein fast" and probably the best as far as crash diets go. I'm not really a fan of crash diets, but this is the healthiest one you could do.0

How fast is fast? And why would anyone purposely give you advice on how to do something hurtful to yourself lol??
However...if your idea of 'fast' is 40lbs of fat over 3mos...then that's easy. Eat about 20% below your calorie maintenance (low cal diets kill your lean mass...this is bad for looking good, good for a stupid number on a scale), and strength train with heavy weights, or with bodyweight at an intensity where you can only complete about 5-8 reps in one set, repeat each set 3-5x.
Some exercise options would be:
The bodyweight program in my profile (useful if you don't have access to a gym).
Stronglifts 5x5
Starting Strength
New Rules of Lifting for Women (assuming you're female).
Now...and this goes for any weight loss...you will ONLY GET OUT OF IT WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT. With strength training, I started seeing visible changes in just two weeks. In two months...the changes were huge. By the end of the third month...I didn't look like the same person.
See for yourself:
When women use this kind of program (trust me on this), they don't look 'bigger' like men do, they lean out, trim up...and their body changes for the positive in almost every aspect.
Good luck.0 -

^This. It's called the Rapid Fat Loss diet, or a protein-sparing modified fast. He's got a pdf on his website which is inexpensive, and informative.0 -
Your inspiration is "thinspiration" and you don't care how unhealthy the approach is.
Sorry. Not going to help you develop/nurture an ED.0 -
Talk to your doctor, there are some medically supervised programs for rapid weight loss. Rapid weight loss should only be performed under close medical supervision with frequent blood testing to check for medical issues caused by rapid weight loss.0

Donate blood, take a dump, cut off an arm, wear plastic bags under your clothing, spend 19 hours in a sauna, eat a box of exlax. All ways to lose weight fast. None of em healthy, but you said you didn't care right?
eta - OK donating blood isn't unhealthy per se, but it won't get you nearly as much weight loss as the arm removal.0 -
Why bother? You're going to look like crap, feel like crap, and gain all the weight back the minute you stop doing whichever gawd awful crash diet you select. I bet you end up weighing more than when you started.
Come back and ask for help when you're ready to do something responsible and sustainable. I'm not here to help people hurt themselves.0 -
Some of you are so cruel. They asked a simple question and if they don't want to be healthy about it that's their choice. Don't get mad at them for it. You don't know their reasoning. Maybe they've been trying to lose weight and they are a couple of pounds off for a weigh in they have to pass (that's my reasoning).
Anyway, I don't really have anything for you, but I remember when I first joined the military, my recruiter told me to go on this soup diet for a few days to a week to drop some pounds. I didn't do it; I lost it the old fashioned way with a lot more time. And then there is that lemonade/cayenne pepper thing...Look into those if you'd like.0 -

Why is it cruel to not want to encourage or assist someone in self-destructive behavior?0 -
Well if you don't care how bad it is for your health, you want it quick, and all that matters is the number on the scale, i suggest cutting something off. Maybe an arm. Leg? Depends on how much lighter you want to be.0

It's against MFP guidelines to promote unhealthy/ED like eating habits.0 -

If this is really a serious question and not a post to stir people up....we need some clarification. How much weight do you want to lose? (To some people 20lbs is a lot...to me 100lbs is a lot..) And how fast? Is there a reason you want it done so fast? A special occasion?0 -

Eat nothing.
Seriously. Within a month you'll be 50lbs lighter - and six feet under.
Alternatively, stop being stupid, concentrate on something other than "weight" loss and enjoy your life.0 -

What if he/she wants to lose because she needs to have surgery to be able to donate a body part to her dying brother, but was told until she lost 20 lbs she was considered too heavy to undergo surgery. This is a true story of someone I know.
I lost 9 lbs in three days once by eating only chicken, rice, tomatoes, salad and eggs. No caffeinated tea, just water. The weight NEVER came back, not even a single lb.0 -

No, she wants to still be able to eat.

Increase activity and reduce intake. Remember though, rapid weight loss is usually due to losing an inordinate amount of lean body mass (muscle)... This means the fat is still there, you will just be skinnier but still jiggly. The better route is to lose weight at a moderate rate... +/- 2 lbs per week and lift weight while maintaining a good protein base... You may not see the scale move as much, but you actually drop sizes of clothing faster due to the toning of your muscles. Lift heavy on alternate days ... if you lift daily, don't work the same muscle groups each day.. skip a day... I think you will be happier with the ultimate results that way... and probably will look smaller than you would by just losing 5-7 lbs per week.0

Decapitation give the fastest ratio of weight loss per unit of time expended.
Not only that, it's morally repugnant to any decent human being.It's against MFP guidelines to promote unhealthy/ED like eating habits.0 -
Your ticker says you only need to lose about 8-9 lbs-- is that right? Why the rush?0

So you want us to tell them how to lose fast, the unhealthy way?
ok, cut off a limb0 -

cut off a leg....
tape worm diet....
thats all i have. everything else requires a healthy lifestyle and patience, neither of which you seem keen on!0 -
If you want to lose weight fast, limit your intake as much as possible and don't exercise.
You'll lose fast! Maybe not for long and once you start eating normal again you'll gain it back, possibly more and you'll be weak, because without exercise you'll lose muscle. Are you sure it's worth all that?
Losing 1 pound a week isn't bad. that's 5 lbs a month, 30 lbs in just six months! 60 on a year! That may not seem incredibly fast, but it is, especially when you take in the fact that, you'll be stronger, leaner and healthier.
So I say focus on eating healthy and taking it slow :flowerforyou:0 -

They said I don't care how unhealthy or bad it is......and you want us to support someone who is likely do to something unhealthy and bad.....that will hurt them.......and you think it's okay.....for them...to hurt themselves......
I'm confused, dude. What suggestions have been given would not be unhealthy and would not hurt them. Cruel is saying "Please, do something to hurt yourself."
Also, your "lemonade thing" and "soup thing" are crash diets with numerous and well-documented, negative consequences on the body. Do not hurt yourself.
And if you are going to hurt yourself, do not encourage others to do the same. It is lunacy to do so.0 -

Her sorority is having a beach party with a bunch of cute guys in three weeks! Duh.0 -
Just don't be surprised if when you finish the crash diet, your weight goes right back up. That's the problem with losing the weight fast...it doesn't stick. To take off weight and KEEP it off, you need to make a lifestyle change, not participate in one of the many fad diets out there.0
-
You want to lose weight and you want to do it fast? That's not so hard. It's the keeping it off and doing it in a way that makes you look better, that takes some work. Maybe you need to be more specific.0

:laugh: Now now, that's not nice.
OP your best bet, especially with so little to lose, is to eat at a moderate deficit and get some exercise. Lifting weights is great for body composition. Eating at a steep deficit or doing crash diets is going to do more harm than good in the long run.0
