Really? Well, if you must, you must...try this cleansing program. I did the 28-day and lost close to 20lbs. I will say that I gained some back becasue the diet is very restrictive, and once I was done I was eating everything I couldn''t...hamburgers, pizza, etc.!!
Also, I think this is a phenomenal program for your health, too! I felt great on it!! I plan to do one again this spring.
You could do two 7-day programs back to back...or an abbreviated 28-day.
Hi,
Its an old diet, but works. You can only remain on it 14 days and then you go on a maintance plan. The book is called "The complete Scarsdale medical diet." by Dr. Herman Tarnower. Its good because he gives you a daily menu to use on the diet. This makes it great, so you only have to go shopping for the items. Its a well rounded diet, fruit, veg, meat(chicken steak, fish, hamburger). salads as well. You can have one slice of bread a day. No other carbs. My brother lost 20 lbs, the most I lost was 13 in the two weeks. You will lose water which is also why you ought to stay on for the added 2 weeks maintance. It sort of solidifies the weight loss.
The book is in paperback and is quick loss.
This is the poor Dr who was shot by the Harris woman if any of you remember. Jealousy can occur at all ages. This was quite a scandal.
Hope it helps
Best way is healthy diet and reasonable portions. It is the best way to lose the weight and not gain it back.
FF lost 4 pounds one week with this.
I served a veggie & tofu stir fry for 3 days. (peppers, onions, brocoli, sugar peas, etc) Not my idea. He liked it so well that he wanted it again. And again.
Skinless chicken breast cooked on the barbeque with garlic and lemon. Served with fresh cucumber slices & tomatoes in lime juice.
New York strip steak dry rubbed and barbequed.
And a pizza one night.
Side dishes of rice, bread, green beans, etc.
Homemade blueberry scones or flan for breakfast.
One cup of coffee every morning (okay, I gave him 1 1/2 cups sometimes), 2 glasses of wine in the evening. He had unsweeted iced tea and lots of water. A beer some days.
He really didn''t have to give up anything. He didn''t feel like he was on a diet. The food was great. He wasn''t hungry.
Exercise was 2 miles on the exercise bicycle each morning.
Well, it depends on what weight you are to start with - but one of my family members did an extreme diet (with supervision of a doctor/dietitian) prior to surgery for the lapband, and the way he shed dramatic pounds was simple - cut the calories. I think he was doing 700-800 cals a day. Load up on protein shakes/bars to make you feel full, cut your cal intake in half, and while it won''t be fun, it will probably result in some weight loss.
10 pounds in 2 weeks? Since you''re a man, no problem! All you have to do is think about losing weight and the pounds will magically drop off. At least that''s how it seems to work for my husband.
Losing that amount of weight in such a short time can affect your heart, so make sure you don''t have any heart problems.
Seriously, that kind of rapid weight loss isn''t sustainable, and you are likely to put it back on afterwards. Have you thought of a more sensible approach?
Yikes, no legit advice here but what you''re trying to do is so difficult... especially because from your avatar, you look average weight. if you were 100 lbs overweight, 6 lbs over two weeks is probably achievable.
If you have not previously dieted then you can maybe do this with an extreme crash diet like the cabbage soup or grapefruit diet, which basically means taking in 600-700 calories a day, coupled with lots of exercise. Even then it''ll only work because about half that loss will actually be water weight (generally people lose 3 to 7 pounds of water weight when they first start a crash diet, if they weren''t previously restricting intake).
What you''re basically doing with that is a modified fast. It is not sustainable. Most people find that it''s impossible to maintain even for the 10- to 14-day duration because it is, again, a modified fast, and lots of people are not able to fast for prolonged periods.
If you need to make weight for something (wrestling/boxing weight limits, a modeling show, etc.) you can also abuse diuretics and laxatives and sweat out some more water weight by hitting the treadmill in a hot room, but that''s even unhealthier and, again, it is not fat loss: all you are doing there is dehydrating yourself to (very!) temporarily make a cutoff.
As previous posters have said, for actual sustainable weight loss, moderation and a slow pace are critical. A healthy diet and regular exercise are the only way to go. Crash loss is never good for you, but if you need to do it, that''s how.
Judah is that a recent pic in your avatar? If so...where do you plan to lose it from?!?
There are a ton of diets that will make you lose ten pounds in two weeks, cabbage and grapefruit etc like someone mentioned above, lipotrim if you're quite overweight. They all involve cutting your calorie intake drastically, to about 600 per day. However most of this is water weight and you will put it back on once you eat normally again after the two weeks.
Up the protein, try to eliminate white flour, yeast and refined sugar and you're good to go. Most recent research suggests diet is far more effective than exercise for losing weight, however that doesn't mean exercise isn't good for you too.
