I need to lose 5 pounds in the next week. Help?

[Anonymous]

Okay so I have an event coming up in a week, and I have been trying to lose weight for it. I managed to lose 5 pounds already, but I NEED to lose 5 more pounds in the next week. It took me too long to lose the 5 I did, so I need to know what I can do to lose 5 pounds quickly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated (don't say just starve yourself).

I'm in the same boat and all I can really say is if you want to lose weight the healthy way (highly recommended), you have to wait a little longer. Eat no less than 1200-1500 calories and do 30-60 minutes of exercise daily. Replace all fluids with water and keep your sugar intake to a minimum. If you starve yourself, it'll only decrease your chances of keeping the few extra pounds off and increase the likelihood of binging later in the week. I fasted for days at a time; ended up binging badly afterwards and developed an unhealthy relationship with food. This continued for a few months until I finally did something about it. So please stay on the safe side and choose the healthy route no matter how slow and gradual the weight loss may be. Make sure your meals are spread evenly throughout the day as well

Work out. Do muscular work, but in the three days before you need to be at this event, don't work out at all except for a light walk or jog. This is because muscles swell in their recovery days.
AVOID SALT AT ALL COSTS. Cut your carbs. Drink A LOT of water. This last bit isn't healthy, but don't drink anything, not even water, starting from lunch the day before the event. Or if it's an evening event, don't drink from the previous nights' diner. You're trying to reduce water retention.
Then, perhaps invest in shapewear, too

Eat less carbs (bread) and more protein (meat, eggs). Also taking a vitamin B-12 once a day can help you metabolize things better to lose weight. I also recommend chocolate milk. It has protein and just enough of the right kinds of sugar to help your body absorb it better. This means it will fill you up, give you energy, and not stick to you as fat. Finally, don't eat late dinners. By this I mean don't eat right before bed. Try and eat a few hours before so that you have time to start burning some of it. Otherwise your body burns it while you sleep and stores more of it as fat because you are not moving.
So there's a few tips, good luck! Any questions, just ask

I don't think its healthy... Loosing more than 1-2 pounds per week will result in muscle loose rather than fat.
Still u wanna do it then make good metabolism rate..

Cut sugars from diet completely.
Less carbs intake.
Lot of water.
And yes don't skip a meal, when we skip a meal body in response lower the metabolism rate to compensate so don't skip , divide your meal and eat in every 2-3 hrs
All the best!

To loose 1 pound, u need to burn 3500 calories. An averag female (Caucasian) burns 1800 per day, so unless you do extra exercise and don't eat at all, it's gonna be rather hard. And if you actually succeed, it's gonna be damaging for your health. I'm gonna assume the weight loss is to fit in a special garment, so why not try invest in a good corset?
