  • I did the slim fast drinks for a while, dropped some pounds but nothing major or lasting, it always came back because I wasn't counting what else I was eating (fast food garbage and sodas) and I was not working out.

  • You could do the same at home with Preparation H and Saran Wrap, just dehydrating a part of your body. We used to have guys in the military that would do it to shrink up their stomach a little before getting measured (neck and gut) for obesity checks. Does not last more than a few days though before it's back to normal.
