How can I lose FAST for special events

You can't lose fat that fast. You can drop weight fast, but it will mostly be water. In 10 days, you could lose a few lbs of pure fat, but that's about it. You should have started months ago if this was really special.

Probably not.

A well cut garment and Spanx are probably your best bet. Continue on with the slow and steady.

Meth and cocaine.

You can cut carbs, and not drink a lot of water. Run with a sweater on and sit in a sauna. Take some laxatives. All these will make you severely dehydrated, but you could lose a good 10 pounds in a week just from water.







Disclaimer: I'm not recommending anyone do any of these suggestions.

Drink a lot of water, cut back sodium, carbs. Basically eat clean and get in some exercise. Drinking water and cutting back your sodium will probably have the biggest impact in 10 days.

Also- maybe treat yourself to a facial! Makes you feel better and everyone will be looking at your glowing skin.

And as a portrait photographer- I recommend getting your make-up done before a shoot. Nothing crazy. But a professional application can really look good through the lens.

Good luck!

Meth? I mean, it's fast, but you won't have any teeth at the end....which could help you keep the weight off? :laugh:

Extra exercise. (That cat in your profile pic is beautiful!!)

AGREED!

Wait... you AGREE to extra exercise or you AGREE that the cat is beautiful. :huh:

Spanx is wonderful stuff, so is drinking lots of water and flushing your body out. You can't make permanent losses as I'm sure you are already aware, but cutting down on water weight is good! I am currently eating low sodium and drinking tons of water and green tea in preparation for a wedding dress fitting (in 2 days) since my body decided that now is a great time to start hanging on to all the water it can.

Did I mention Spanx is awesome?

Decrease sodium to less than 1500 mg/day and drink 3 liters of water a day. Also, limit carbs.

Just get in the gym for 8 hours a day, and burn that 35,000 calories in that 10 days. Job done.

Totally not going to lie...so..here it goes..instead of trying to lose a tremendous amount of weight..why not hit the strength training harder...it will help tighten what you have now..and go heavier on weights..besides making you feel like you accomplished something..why not tear it up and make your body feel tighter in areas..no one will really know how much you lost...they will only see the changes that have become..seriously..your numbers are not tattooed on your forehead..bahahaha..even if it feels like it is..

There's times I don't think I lost anything..and yet I see tons of changes..and people around me as well..so, hopefully this helps

Extra exercise. (That cat in your profile pic is beautiful!!)

AGREED!

Wait... you AGREE to extra exercise or you AGREE that the cat is beautiful. :huh:

EXERCISE.. I'M MORE OF A DOG PERSON..LOL

ok well i do know a few ways but I DO NOT ENDORSE them and ull gain it back but here they are:

3 day fruit diet
Breakfast: One piece of high carb fruit. (ex: Banana, large pear)
Lunch: 1 piece of high fiber fruit. (ex: apple, plum, 1/2 cup of berries)
Dinner: 1 piece of citrus fruit. (ex: orange, small grapefruit, tangerine)
Repeat for 3 days. You can change up the fruits each day if you’d like!

5 Day Miracle Diet!
Eat within 30 minutes of walking, unless exercising, stretch for 40 minutes
Breakfast: Eat starch, such as wheat toast or egg whites.
Snack: Eat a negative calorie food. Apple, celery, carrot. Which ever.
Lunch: Eat before 1pm! Only protein and vegetables. NO CARBS
Dinner: Eat before 8pm. Protein and veggies.
Eat like this for 5 days. Results will show!

4 Day Detox Diet
Every morning for 2 days do this
When you first wake up drink warm water with lemon. It’s great for your metabolism, skin, and health!
For breakfast: Eat some high fiber cereal! Switch up the cereals these 4 days. Remember to use skim milk in your cereal! Drink some green tea as a drink! It’s great for detoxes and diets!
Snack in between breakfast and lunch! - During this 4 day detox diet, it is important to keep your metabolism going and not starve. Snack on a fiber rich fruit! Like an apple or a pear.
For lunch: Raw veggies! You can use some low fat hummus if you would like as well.
Snack: Eat a cup of fresh berries. You can pick which kind. Remember, it’s important you don’t starve and keep your metabolism up.
Dinner: 2 cups of green vegetables. You can change em up! Like 1 cup of spinach and 1 cup of broccoli.
Dessert: An apple. This cures that craving for something sweet and keeps your body going!
Eat like this for 4 days. You can repeat 2 times. Don’t do it too often or your body will get used to it. People have said they lost 7 pounds on this diet the first 4 days alone!

ALL of the above are CRASH diets but if ur gonna do it anyway here they r

If you are 5'8 and 140lbs, why are you worried?

wow thats a dream to me im 5ft8 and 167lbs u got nothng to worry about

Probably any stupid crash diet would do the trick. But really, you want to lose weight for an event this Saturday? Next Saturday is close enough but THIS Saturday? It's WEDNESDAY.

This is probably the worst advice I will ever give anyone and I'm not condoning it in any way whatsoever... so my friends cant bust my chops, but I was told by my cousin that his military recruiter told him that he could lose weight quickly by slathering his body in preparation h then wrapping himself and saran wrap and running... run until you think youre going to die, then run more.

Of course, I think running is a good idea if you're physically fit for it and won't be injuring yourself. So, I do like that part.... that's pretty much the only part that I think is worth a darn though.

If you choose to wrap yourself in the same thing you use to keep leftovers fresh, by all means, think about the reality of the situation first. Other than that.... knock yourself out!

Yeah, literally knock yourself out... with heat stroke!! wrapping yourself in plastic is asking for it!! :noway:

Not going to bash your question, because I understand where you're coming from. At this point, as others have mentioned, your best bet is to:
-Limit sodium
-Limit processed carbs
-Increase cardio/strength
-Increase water intake
-Get 8 hours of sleep/night

Don't expect miracles, but you might lose come bloating and maybe tighten up slightly... also, I recommend sunless tanner (a decent one, not one that will make you orange!!) for an optical illusion. I always think I look more fit when I'm tan :bigsmile:

good luck!!
