How can I lose 5 pounds in 7 days? It's my last 5! I need all the encouragement I can get! Any tips?

[Anonymous]

I've been successful with my weight loss so far. But I want to kick it up a notch this week. I need all the advice I can get. I really want to be 5 pounds less by next Friday.

Also - What are some sugar free, sodium free, low carb (or no carb) foods?

Eat at a huge calorie deficit, eat high protein it'll keep you full longer and drink loads of water to flush any water weight.

**obligatory warning, you'll feel like shit the whole week.

That doesn't sound like a very healthy goal.. I'd say just take your time and stop rushing it. You're doing well, trust your body and treat it well and the weight will fall away.

healthy is not my goal

[RJGraveyTrain]

Then I have zero advice to offer you because I don't condone eating disorders.

Fish, red meat, chicken, eggs, whey protein shakes... Read the food labels on products to find how many carbs they contain...

Honestly. 5 pounds in a week is not a safe goal. Realistically you can lose like 2 pounds a week.

safe isn't what im going for

Well if you want to lose weight that badly you first need to eat a calorie deficit diet. Or exercise to create that deficit. Though there's a safe limit when you're on a calorie deficit diet. Next you need to lift weights. Lifting weights gives you more muscle and gives you that toned look. I do recommend lifting because the more muscle you have the more fat you are likely to burn while on a calorie deficit. Protein should be eaten so your body doesn't start eating away your muscle first instead of the fat. By the way. Don't lose weight based on the scale. At least look into the mirror and judge based on that should you lose weight.

Honestly, I don't eat after 5pm, and go to bed at around 10pm... It works wonders, trust me

[karahiri]

don't you get hungry after 5 though?

[Asker]

@karahiri what i do is eat an early breakfast, a big late lunch, and maybe a snack at around 4 or 4:30. I find that if i drink a lot of water, i am good to go :)

You can try fasting. Go for a water fast where you eat nothing but drink plenty of water. This is the fastest and safest way to lose that weight.
