in Health and Weight Loss
I know this isn't particularly the healthiest way to go about things but I have a bit more weight I would like to loose before my wedding in a week and a half. Can anyone recommend a quick fix to drop 5 or more lbs in such a short amount of time? I am planning on lifting 4 times this week and adding in additional cardio when I have the chance. So hopefully make it to the gym 5 or 6 days this week. I am already a pretty healthy eater and really don't want to "starve" myself to drop the weight. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    You are not going to lose enough weight for it to be visible to anyone in 2 weeks.

    You could try eating low carb until the wedding, since some people will naturally lose a few lbs of water weight when they start low carb.

    In the meantime go out and buy a great pair of Spanx, and know you will look beautiful regardless. Congrats :drinker:

    This ^

    Low carb will shed some water weight but do you really need to add the stress of a new way of eating before your special day?

    Thanks for the feedback! I guess the motivation to lose a little weight is more for my comfort in my dress. It is quite form fitting and I have a little tummy that I would love to try and flatten out. Sounds like if I cut carbs a bit maybe losing a little water weight might work.

    a 1000 deficit per day will get rid of 4 pounds in two weeks, I don't know why anyone would say it's impossible.

    Personally, I'd rather enjoy the lead up to the wedding but to each her own. Good luck!

    You also don't know anything about the OP's current physical stats. If she only has a few pounds to goal, a 1000 calorie deficit could put her way below MFP recommended allowances and be very unhealthy.

    For 2 weeks.

    Anything that is going to increase your stress level, even a little bit, in the two weeks before your wedding is a wonderful idea and you should totally do it. /sarcasm

    5 lbs in two weeks is way too agressive as a goal.

    I wouldn't push yourself too hard or have too large calorie deficit. You will wear your self out, likely to the point of being miserable on your wedding day.

    No/low sodium

    And be careful of booze on your wedding day if you start eating super low calorie

    I second the spray tan. It visually takes off 5-10 lbs. Or better yet, just stay away from high sodium foods and drink lots of water.
    Other than that, just relax and enjoy every minute of this special time in your life.

    Still a horrible idea.

    I said better to enjoy the two weeks @.@ but that it's possible. A little over the top people.
