Will this diet work?

Question

Hey quick question...First, know that I don't intend on keeping this weight off but I would like your opinion on this. Here's the story: I was measured for a costume back in November and I've gained some weight (10-12 pounds)come today it doesn't fit right. It can't be altered anymore. It zips and its not like its going to rip but it fits like a glove and I'd like it a little looser. So...here are my ideas: First, I'm going to wear a girdle type thing (it goes beneath the leotard finely)-that should give me an inch or so and I've planned on eating a small bag of baby carrots and a bottle of zero calorie/carb/sugar sweet tea a day for the next week or so. How much do you think that should help? I mean, the costume's not terrible, but I'm selfconcious and the costume lady's giving me crap...so yeah. Opinions?

Answer 1

I didn't read what you said necessarily, just skimmed. So this may not even help at all. But diets malnourish your body. Depending on the diet itself.. but I suggest you eat 1800 calories a day, and burn 2000.. everyday... It's hard to know how much you've already burned though. So one of your regular days take a stepometer with you.. or whatever its called.. it should tell you approx. how many calories you've burned... so then consider you've burned about that much after a normal day, and you've only eaten 1800 calories.. go to the gym and burn off the remaining.

Answer 2

First off some of it might be water weight as well. Consider doing cardio like crazy. Whenever my friends are getting ready for a performance, she does 45 min of cardio a day. This can be anything--jump roping, treadmill, stair climber. Also, speed up your metabolism by measuring the correct portion of cereal for breakfast and every 3-4 hours eat a cup of yogurt. Have those carrots for lunch but if you are eatting at 8am, then yogurt at 11 and again at 2 you probably won't be that hungry. A very healthy dinner (prior to 7pm). And also try to always be hungry for 30 min before you allow yourself to eat. That is when you start burning fat.

Add a lot of water--if you can handle that 8 glasses of water great. If you can't, 5 is fine but drink as much water as you can. Cut out all soda. Cut out dessert. Especially bread desserts like cake. Just doing that for 2 weeks should do it.

You should be able to lose the inches very rapidly--if not the actual pounds. However when do you need to wear the costume? Cause you need at least 2 weeks.

Answer 3

i think you need to eat more than just a small bag ofcarrots...tuna,grapes,broccoli,strawberries...
there are many other things you can eat the have low fat and calories...try to do 1200 calories a day and take a multivitamin....works for me...(i started this again yesterday)

Answer 4
