It's a pill that makes your kidneys work overtime and strips your body of fluid. The medical term for this is a diuretic. You get thirsty when using them - and drink to replace the fluid you're peeing out. People in heart failure retain fluid all over their bodies, it can collect in the lungs and make breathing difficult which is a legitimate reason for using them. Abusing them to shed a pound or so of water when your body is functioning normally is not a clever idea.

! think OP should go with the Spanx, taking diuretics like this ought to be a no-no. Like (probably) everyone else, I read that she wants to fit into a dress that already fits. ???? :huh: So why the big panic about suddenly losing another pound? The weight's not the issue is it?? I assume it's not the weigh-in at a slimming competition??

So if the dress fits, wear it. If it doesn't, wear something else or wear it with Spanx.

Okay, I have a dress I fit in but I need an extra push on the weight loss for tonight. I drank enough water to drown-in to get rid of any potential water weight gain. I started 24 hour fast at noon. Can anyone think of anything else or is this about the maximum I can do? I suppose I can do a spinning class tonight but I will have to at least eat an apple two hours before or I won't be able to give much effort. Any tried and true tips are appreciated.:bigsmile:

Please no responses from the "don't do under 1200 calorie crowd". I have some available fat so my body will not go into starvation mode. Fasting occasionally is good for the body anyway.

I read in Good Housing keeping that reducing your Calories to 500 - 800 calories a day can
Eat something light, Like an apple and some yogurt and do gentle toning exercises and go for a walk somewhere to burn a few cals , It might not help very much but then it might depending on the area you want to lose the inches from. Fasting for a few days at a time, can be beneficial to your body.

Soley out of curiousity, how us fasting for a dew days beneficial? Ive never hear of this until now. (not being fecicious, seriously want to know)

I read in Good Housekeeping, an article called The A-Z guide to a healthier, happier you. And it states that lowering your calories to 500-800 calories a day. ( So technically a detox) it says that Professor Mark Mattson suggests that intermittent fasting can lead to a drop in blood sugar levels and a fall in the hormones linked to cancer and diabetes and lowers the harmful blood fats. and also triggers a protective process in the brain and that potentionally help against Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease.

well, it's not healthy but in an emergency and for one day only you can take diuretics and drink water and black coffee. You should be able to lose enough water and empty your colon enough to go down one size. But watch drinking alcohol like this because you will already be severly dehydrated and can get really sick! And for the record...I am not advocating this as a healthy diet tip!!!

Thank, yes, its just for a day... thank you for taking the time to give a thoughtful response.

omgosh...........you are so smart! Please friend me if you don't mind.

Okay, so the diuretic and dehydrate yourself club get "thank you for your thoughtful responses," but the healthier alternative Spanx crowd gets ignored? Yeah... that makes sense.

You don't need to make weight like a wrestler does. They can't wear Spanx to meet their weight class. However, YOU can wear Spanx to look better in a dress that "fits." So throw the dangerous stuff out the window and go shopping. They sell generic Spanx cheaper as well if you cannot afford the official brand.

Well she did specifically ask about losing weight quickly, not about what kinds of clothing you can wear to appear thinner. And she also specifically asked for people *not* to lecture her on the super super dangerous idea of not eating for 24 hours... Maybe she's secretly an amateur body builder looking for cutting tips and the dress thing is a ruse? Who knows, but maybe answer her question instead of making up a new one for her.

Must be one helluva dress.

I can get a new dress. Can't get new internal organs, though. I say, fast. More food for me.

I would try the Sue Sylvester master cleanse!

A concoction that is prepared out of maple syrup (supplies glucose), water, lemon juice (for acid), cayenne pepper ( to have the bowels irritated) and a bit of a vomiting agent, ipecac.



:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

lol, so much hate in this thread. Believe it or not people actually cut weight all the time for things like body building competitions and any event with a weigh in. It's not great for your immediate state of well being but there are no lasting side effects. Animals don't eat 3 squares a day, and humans were just like them not long ago.

Is wearing a dress a stupid reason to intentionally dehydrate yourself? In my opinion yes, but who is to say? Not I.

I was going to suggest googling how to cut weight, MMA fighters drop about 8-12 pounds right before a weigh in and put it all back hours later since it's all water and the like.

But instead I'll suggest you find a tailor. Then you can wear that dress and not drive yourself mental by jogging in saran wrap and hitting a sauna for 12 hours

lmao

Go have a weight loss wrap done. I have done this and it does work!!!!

Poop with all of your might!

Bahahahaha. These make me chuckle. :drinker:

Dehydrated, hungry, and hemorrhoidal...READY TO PARTAY!

Hmm maybe she plans on getting some *kitten* after the event, and doesn't want somebody to see that she was wearing spanx haha. If that is the case the person wont care, because they are getting some *kitten* too!

I've obtained some mighty fine *kitten* wearing Spanx. I was like a sausage coming out of it's casing. Delicious..

thats actually the best idea! (:
