    not happening.... you need fat and protein in your diet... just eating fruit and veg will likely lead you to crash and burn before your performance.

    The realistic possibility of losing 10 lb of fat in 2 weeks is nil. You can attempt to purge your waste, deplete your glycogen, and dehydrate your body. I doubt you'd be in any condition to perform after all that, though.

    Not happening and you will do harm than good trying. If you really want a flat stomach, run a modest calorie deficit and do some strength training.

    Ignore the people who are negative. Though I do agree with them in this regard: Losing 10 pounds in 2 weeks is an unrealistic expectation.

    But a smaller goal--say, 5 pounds--is a lot more reasonable.

    I'd also suggest you don't limit your foods to just vegetables and fruit. Eat some lean meats too!

    Personal recommendation (some may disagree, but for what it's worth): What I think might work for you is a paleo-style diet with a calorie goal. That and exercise--daily.

    Above all: Be satisfied with any progress you make, even if it's not 10 pounds.

    Okay so I've tried dieting before and I lose around 4 pounds and I mean completely healthy and I'm not stupid I would never put my body in harms way ate around 3,500 calories and worked out for around 4 hours a week and I lost that 4 pounds in a week

    Don't know what you weigh now or what you're performing, but might wanna mix some protein in the mix via real food or supplements. You can probably come close, but it'll be mostly water.

    You might do better with a low carb high protein/fat diet. (i.e. Atkins). That usually causes a dramatic water weight loss. The first time I did Atkins I lost 14 pounds in the first two weeks. The second time only 5. But still, it was easy to do and the quick results were very motivating. Sticking to it long term is harder, and if you don't, chances are the weight will come back quickly, but it would get you to your event fairly healthy without starving yourself. It's basically just meat, eggs, cheese and vegetables for the first two weeks. I also find that when I don't eat carbs, my stomach doesn't bloat. OTOH, I can't sustain a low carb lifestyle for long. I miss fruit and bread too much.

    If you're worried about what your stomach looks like, can you wear a good pair of spanx? (don't know what you're performing in, so it might not be possible)

    The people watching you aren't going to know or care how much you weigh. They will care if your performance is lacklustre due to being depleted and malnourished for a couple of weeks. Eat sensibly to fuel your body and feel good, do some exercise, and enjoy your performance!

    You're not going to lose ten pounds of fat in two weeks. There's a good chance that whatever fat you do lose won't be from your stomach. What kind of performance is this anyway?

    Just switching to vegetables won't cause you to lose weight. You have to eat fewer calories than you burn, but you can do it with your regular food.

    As others have said, that is not a realistic goal. If you are concerned about your performance, just wear shapewear.
