    8 pounds in a week? Even if you get the water weight bonus of just starting to lose weight...not really safely possible. Especially at your weight.

    What do you need to cut weight for?

    Other than it's not going to happen (at least eight pounds of fat)?

    Yeah I've dropped 8lbs overnight for a competitive weigh in but it comes right back...like as soon as you eat. It ain't fat.

    If you are talking about fat loss then there is no chance.

    However, "cutting weight", in the sense of needing to be a certain weight for a sporting event is fully doable. There are many protcols for reducing water weight online but writing them on here will have everyone going mad.
