Need to lose 5 lbs in 1 week -- how?

Question

Hi, I know it's not healthy to lose a lot of weight really quickly and I do generally eat healthy and get a lot of exercise. But over the past few months I've put on a few pounds. I'm to be in a wedding next week and I want to look as fab as possible. How do I quickly slim down a bit?

Answer 1

It's almost impossible to lose 5 lbs. in one week. Just continue exercising, if you have to, limit your calories to 1200 (be strict) for the week and only that week. Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water a day, low sodium, high fiber, lots of fruits and veggies and lean protein and see where you are at the end of the week. Good luck!

Answer 2

Hmm, another question like this one. How to lose 5 lbs in a week?

Let's see- one pound of body fat is about 3,500 calories. About as much as I eat in one day, or two days' worth of food for a weight-conscious teen. Jogging or fast bicycling burns 500-800 calories per hour, so you could jog for 4 to 7 hours per day; you can do that, can't you?

You could simply stop eating altogether for 10 days in a row, but that's longer than a week and you'll just die anyway. Combine that with the fact that if you don't eat properly your body goes into "starvation mode" and won't burn any extra fat, so you'd have to eat nothing for probably two whole weeks! Gosh, this is hard!

So maybe you have two choices: live with the fact that you're NOT going to lose 5 lbs in a week, or cut off a limb. There aren't any easy answers for weight loss, even in this perfectly instant American society we have.

Answer 3

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Answer 4

Increase the time you exercise. Start eating a light breakfast, such as a bowl of cereal and skim milk *don't skip meals because that will only make you more hungry and more likely to consume more food later in the day* Keep eating the healthy foods you already eat but try to control your portions. And most importantly, DRINK, DRINK, DRINK!!! Water, that is.

Answer 6

Have you heard of the cabbage soup diet? My mom's friend was on it & she lost a lot of weight pretty quickly.

Recipe:
The cabbage soup can be eaten any time you get hungry, and you can eat as much as you like, oh joy, you can have all the cabbage soup you want! You can have it as often as you want. Just say that a few times and see if it sounds good to you, because the more I say it the hungrier I get.

Ingredients:

6 Large Green Onions
2 Green Peppers
1-2 Cans Diced Tomatoes
1 Bunch Celery
1 Package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1-2 Cubes of Bullion (if desired)
1 head cabbage
Cut vegetables into small pieces and cover with water, you can use V-8 juice also. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt, pepper,parsley, or whatever spice you want to add.

Diet Plan:
Day One:
Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want, but you can't have Bananas!! Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. You can drink, unsweetened teas, cranberry juice and water.

Day Two:
Vegetables: Eat all the fresh, raw or cooked vegetables you want. Try to eat leafy green vegetables, and avoid dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat as much as you want, all the veggies you can handle and all the cabbage soup you want. At dinner you can have a baked potato with butter. You can't have any fruit on this day, so just stick to the vegetables.

Day Three:
Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want, but you can't have a baked potato.

Day Four:
Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

Day Five:
Beef And Tomatoes: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomatoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef one one of the beef days (but not both).

Day Six:
Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart's content of beef and vegetables this day. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables and no baked potato. Eat your soup at least once.

Day Seven:
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Eat as much as you can of this. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.

Answer 7

One slim fast late in the morning. A dinner of only protein, salad and fruit. Wear something around the house that makes you sweat. No salt. It will work wonders.

Answer 8

I lost 7 pounds on the 48-hour Hollywood diet (which you can buy at Walmart) in 2 days. Trouble is, the moment you put food in your mouth after the 48 hours you get much of it back. But everyone's experience is different. You have to go without food for 2 days on this diet.

Answer 9

dont eat any form of junk food over the weekend, eat your greens.
Go to the gym atleast 4-5hrs this week.
Drink lots of water.

Answer 10
