How do I lose 15 lbs in 3 weeks the healthiest?

Question

Okay, so I am unable to work out because I have had three surgeries since mid  February  due to cancer in my femur. I have always been an active person and so have never had to worry about what I ate. Since I was on crutches for 3 months straight I could not do anything then, and even now I am only allowed to walk short distances. Not doing anything is really taking a toll on my mid section and ass. I have been doing some ab exercises, but no change. I eat like a man, mean I eat everything and anything and a lot of it. So far, I have cut out soda and only drinking water and the occasional glass of milk. I have also tried cutting down on my portions, but become EXTREMELY hungry! Does anyone know of anything I can do to help lose about 15 lbs in about 3 weeks?

in the healthiest way? i dont know:p its just not healthy in general but i would say crash dieting for all 3 weeks and stick to a liquid diet for all 3 meals and on the last day of the week soak yourself in a bath tub full of alcohol to drain any water you have left in your body.

Since you can't do anything physical, focus on your diet. Cut down carbs (100gram/day max!) and put in as much fiber (veggies/fruits) in your diet, it might not taste good but it's low on calorie and fills you up (if you eat enough). Good luck.

Cut down on carbs and sugar. Also, if you have a smartphone, get a calorie counting app and that will help you plan and track progress, as well as let you know how much you should adjust your daily calorie intake to reach that goal. Be healthy! Good luck :)

There really isn't a "healthy" way to drop that much weight in 3 weeks. It can be done, but it will take strong will power and not giving a crap about the potential damage your body could take from the sudden calorie restriction. And unless you have done that kind of thing before, your body will most likely kick into starvation mode meaning it will hold on to every single calorie it gets for as long as possible. So say you were able to severely restrict your eating for a whole week, but decided to splurge just once on the eighth day. You would put back on just about everything you lost in that whole week. Take it from somebody who dropped over 80 pounds of fat. Excess weight doesn't come off overnight.

Weight? Height? Age? Easiest way would be to cut calories, cut refined sugars. lifts weights and do cardio. Do whatever you can given the situation you're in. The easiest open would be surgery but I'm sure you don't have that in mind.

Eat less, and do whatever home exercises you are capable of doing. Maintaining, losing, and gaining weight is all about calories consumed vs calories burned. If you burn more than you consume, you will lose weight, simple as that.
