Military Diet. Its a three day diet. Follow it and it works! Just lost 7 pounds in 3 days!!
Don't do this OP. It's water, muscle, and a little fat. The water part will come right back, and the muscle part is very difficult to rebuild.0 -
Just start to watch what your eating right now... whatever you lose by then is positive.. Any loss is a good loss.0

I suspect OP is trying to lose and keep off actual body fat, not lose almost no body fat, maybe some muscle, and a bunch of water weight.
If your "weight loss" isn't still lost in a few months, then it wasn't really the kind of weight loss 98.44% of the people here want.

I thought that was implied.
But yeah, you're right, I should have said it...

It's called "instant gratification" and a bad case of the "I WANT IT NOW!!!"s. Most commonly found among the younger generation who have lost any and all ability to wait and/or work hard for their rewards. Common symptoms include, but are not limited to: whining, pleading, begging, eye rolling,
Hey I resemble that remark! How else am I to stay young? :laugh:0 -
My biggest loss in a month is 9 lb but I'm like a whale so but still that only puts me at a little over 2lb loss a week, which is what I'm trying for.0

That's the bottom line I guess healthy eating..cut out all the junk.. Try drink 2 litres of water everyday, exercise everyday and 30ds. And see how much comes off
Actually thats just a guideline for success in order for it to work it will require self control, dedication, and accountability on your part. Good Luck!0 -
OP, this may get me crushed, but do a low carb day (under 100, try to do 50 g) for just one or two days to shed some water weight you may be storing from overdoing it on food,
TO SHED SOME WATER WEIGHT.... She wants to lose fat - not water and then gain it back when she eats a slice of bread again...... NO, not a good idea....0 -
I once lost 7 lbs and 8 ozs in 6 hours one day in July. Then, a few years later, I lost another 7 lbs 6 ozs in 6.5 hours one day in April.
That weight is STILL hanging around, but now those pounds have pretty much taken on lives of their own.0 -

One day of low carb isn't going to kill her, and sometimes people benefit from seeing a scale drop to get them back in the game. Plus, overeating for a period of time can lead to some excess storage that might help her feel more comfortable in her own skin. If she doesn't want to do it, no big deal either. (It's not a magic trick, OP, that's why I specified water weight, it's not a trick to lose tons of fat or anything overnight. It does help me when I'm bloated.)0 -
1200-1500 calories a day, to lose 2 pounds a week tops. That's not even that slow actually. That would be considered aggressive weight loss for most people. It would take you 7 weeks to lose the 14 pounds - that's only 3 weeks longer than you want now. AND you have much higher chances of keeping it off.
Will someone please tell me why, if this is the case, I have been stuck at my current weight, with some slight fluctuating (usually upwards), for about 11 weeks.
I want to lose 10lb before the end of July and am despairing right now.
I always eat less than 1500, usually just hit 1200, and am sick of not going down.
And before someone suggests that I take measurements, they are not going down either.0 -

How to beat the healthy eatin headache?
You shouldn't have a headache. What's your calorie plan today? Make sure you eat enough. If you are trying the low carb and getting a headache, just stop, it's not worth it for you. You'll end up binging from the pain and desperation. Have you had enough fat today?0 -
Today I'd whheetabix, oat crackers, small tin of tuna, mixed fruit salad, few slices of ham, veg soup, a chicken breast and tonight I had to have an aero hot chocolate. I know it's a mad mixture of everything0

Ok so
like the title says I wanto lose roughly 14lbs in 4 weeks. Is this at all possible, and any tips to do this? Iv recently gained a bit of weight....4lbs in a week shocking stuff :-/ it's my own fault eating pure junk n too much of it!
So is it at all possible to get 14lbs off in a month or am I kidding myself. Maybe replacing meals with protein shakes? Iv never tried them before. I want to be fitter and healthier.
Any help ? Thanks ....
Fasting, laxatives and diuretics will make you drop 14 lbs in the next 24 hrs but it will put your health in danger and you will most certainly gain some, if not all the wait back once you resume a normal life. Take your time and do it right.0 -
It is probably possible but not recommended. you would need some weight loss products which are not usually good for health and won't let you to keep results http://www.pissedconsumer.com/browse-reviews/weight-loss-programs.html0

I'm a veggie, how much fat is in the meat? Do you usually drink caffeine?
If you got enough fat and aren't in caffeine withdrawal, I think you just have a headache unrelated to eating. :flowerforyou:0
