    The only quick loss before vacation would be water weight if you went low carb...actual fat loss is finite...you can only oxidize so much fat in a given period of time.

    ETA: Also note that if you low carb before vacation to drop water weight, that water weight is going to go right back on as soon as you crack open a vacation beer...

    "Carbs are bread and pasta, stuff that's made from grains," my coworker informed me while putting two spoonfuls of sugar in her coffee and telling me how her low carb diet is working.

    lol that's hilarious

    When you wake up drink a litre of water and 1 litre before bed, I lost so much doing this

    lol - you think you lost "so much" weight because you drank 2 liters of water a day?

    Enjoy your vacation. If it is 3 weeks out, continue doing what you have been and you could be a couple of pounds lighter. The good news is other than your traveling companions, who knows you anyway so who cares? Know that you are still working on your weight loss, be thankful for the progress you have made and enjoy!

    Hi all,
    I am going to Maui in a few weeks. I would like to look a bit better in my bikini. Any advice for quick loss before vacation? I fully know that losing weight takes time and you need to be in a calorie deficit which I am already in. I was just wondering if there were any ideas you may have for quick loss before vacation?

    Quickie divorce.

    Get a tan. It makes a pretty big visual difference.

    Get a FAKE tan (safer) and some flattering bathers or other holiday wear.
    Then enjoy your trip and plan earlier next time.

    I would say you can cut down on the carbs to lose some water weight (it won't be fat or anything), but thing is, as soon as you get on a plane and start eating carbs again when you arrive, boof...back it comes. I guess you can try though. Honestly...I would make sure you have some nice fitting clothes, exfoliate and moisturize, maybe use some fake tanner and shimmer to look more sun kissed, get a mani-pedi and enjoy your vacation.

    I wouldn't recommend any fast crash diets though (even ones designed by experts.. those are for very elite few athletes, competitors who know what they are doing).. just continue your deficit at a normal rate.

    Thank you. You are very nice.

    Use a self tanning lotion for a little color. Keep doing the same rate of weight loss you're already doing, none of the strangers on the beach will say, "Gee, it's too bad she isn't 2 pounds lighter". Enjoy your vacation!

    If that's what she consciously changed and that's what happened, than that's the primary mechanism in her case. Whether or not this will work for others is a different question.

    No, the calorie deficit is.
