crash diet


Question Posted Wednesday April 16 2008, 8:40 pm

prom is coming up and i need to lose about 10-15 lbs. in about a week and a half [if not sooner]

i know it's possible because i've done it before on a crash diet but my usual crash diet isn't working fast enough.

before anybody answers please note that:
- im pretty willing to try anything, as long as it works and doesnt dent my budget too much
- i understand the risks, i know how far i can push my body, please no lectures.
- i don't really care if the weightloss lasts it's just for one night.

so if anybody has any diet plans or anything that they know works really well please help me out! i was fasting but it wasn't coming off fast enough so i was wondering if i had like a detox drink along with my fast if that would help?

any and all advice is welcome, thank you!

Yes, Jeanne is right about your body going in "starvation" mode. You sort of blow up because your metabolism is slowed down.

I won't lecture you, but basically, if you have to be pseudo-anorexic. There's the saltine diet where all you do is eat a couple of crackers a day and drink water. that basically works if you ate a little bit of one thing everyday (like the comment below about only eating peppers).

There's also the Special K diet where you eat a bowl of cereal instead of a real meal. You can have snacks in between (like a protein bar or fruit).

There's the diet where all you do is drink cranberry juice (make sure it's actually juice, not juice cocktail which is all sugar). Or you can just drink two slim-fasts a day.

There's this canned drink called Enviga. It looks like an energy drink. It's a drink that supposedly boosts your metabolism and burns a few extra calories. I'm not sure how well that works because I've never tried it.

AND, if you're really hardcore, you will do what wrestlers do. Wrestlers will drop anywhere from 5-20 lbs below their normal weight in order to compete in a lower weight class. What they do is INTENSE workouts, like wear LAYERS of sweats while using a bike machine in a SAUNA. You basically dehydrate yourself by sweating out every single drop of water you have. It's extremely unhealthy, but it works.

SO... eat very very little or workout in layers of sweats! or do a combination of both.

My mom gave me this diet... she said she used to use it when she modeled and needed to lose weight fast for a shoot. I did it once and I did lose about 10 pounds in two weeks (although I also exercised like crazy during that time). But anyway, here it is:

Breakfast: Milkshake with 1/2 cup of skim milk, 1/2 a banana, 1 packet of sweet n low, and one packet of plain knox geletin.

Lunch: 1/2 can white tuna with lemon juice, and a "salad" of 1/2 head of lettuce with just lemon juice

Dinner: 6 oz of turkey or chicken (plain, nothing on it), one can of green beans or aspargus

And drink 8 glasses of water a day.

It's kinda yucky, but hey, it worked for me! Good luck!

Oh, and by the way... my mom also told me that if you cheat in any way, even a little, you'll actually gain weight. That's because your body goes into a "starvation" mode and thinks there's a famine going on... so any extra food you take in, your body will store immediately as fat, since it doesn't know when you might eat again. Don't know if that's true, but it kinda makes sense!
