Lose a lot of weight in two weeks?

[Anonymous]

There are two weeks left until the end of the Christmas holidays and I want to change in those two weeks. So I want to lose weight mostly on the low part of my body (thighs and calves) Any advice, diets or exercises that might actually have a big effect in my body?

You cannot lose weight in one area, you have to lose weight overall. The maximum and healthiest amount you could realistically lose is up to 3lbs in one week. 5lb in one week could be pushing it. You could lose 10lb in two weeks with correct diet (lower calorie intake) and doing intense workouts about three times a week. When I start exercising and dieting (half heartedly), I can lose 2-3lbs in a week and that can make me feel better, though it's probably psychological. You may feel better losing 10lb but it won't make a huge difference visually, but you'd go down a dress size if you're in between two sizes already.
You can't lose 10lbs over two weeks and then go back to how you were eating and exercising before. You have to keep it up to lose more weight or alter how you normally eat and exercise to maintain your weight otherwise you'll pile it all back on in a matter of days.

Cut out your breads, pastas, potatoes, junk foods, sodas. Drink lots of water. Exercise! You will probably lose a lot at first just due to water weight. I lost 10 pounds in one week just simply from water weight it seemed. I ate just lots of fruits and vegetables, with lots of lemon water. If you're the type that hates drinking water like me, try squeezing some lemon in the ice cold water, or even using those water flavoring packets.

Cut your sodium intake, drink lots of water, take a brisk walk/run for 2-3 miles every day. Cut out sugar and alcohol.

how much do you want to lose? in 2 weeks you can lose max 10 lbs or so, although i'd not suggest it

[Asker]

As much as possible..

You cannot lose weight from one specific area. You can tone a specific area while attempting general weight loss though. Getting your digestion running properly after the holidays is important. Bloating and bad fibre intake will make you seem bigger. Plenty of exercise and planning your diet.

How much do you want to lose?

As much as possible but I also want a daily program for me to fit but also to lose weight that will last until the beginning of summer
