I need to lose some weight FAST for going away in a week?

[Anonymous]

I'm going to Spain and I really just want to drop a few pounds or shape up so that I look in a decent shape when I'm wearing my swimsuit. I'm generally healthy anyway but I just wanted to lose a little bit of weight somehow. I'm fine with my body just my stomach is always really bloated and pokes out quite a bit. I bought some appetite suppressing tea and some water retention tablets just to aid the loss, any other advice? I was thinking of cutting carbs and just having protein and fat or only having one carb meal a day, for example in the morning to give me energy and then just salad and fish for lunch and fish/quorn and vegetables for dinner. Any other advice? Thanks so much please don't lecture me either I know that a permanent fix comes from a regular healthy diet and fitness routine which I have been doing but my stomach still isn't as I'd like :)

you can lose about ten pounds in a week if you cut your calories in half. you lose about 5 pounds of water per each initial pound of weight. cut calorie by 500 a day you lose 65 pounds in a week. this only works first week bc once you lose extra water weight it goes at a regular pace. i e 1 pounds = 1 pound.

drop 1000 calories you'll lose 10 pounds. not on term f course. it takes weeks to lose ten pounds. but you will lose some extra water in a week.

if you eat an average diet now, then aim or about 1000 calories a day. make sure plenty of protein and vegetables and drink water, losing water doesn't mean you dont need to take it in. its part of the cycle. dont get dehydrated this will weaken you.

Try to mostly eat fruit for all meals and do stomach wraps and and wear corsets if your stomach if your problem. If you only need to lose weight for a short amount of time, that's good but you can't do this for longer than a week. It's a bit unhealthy.

Yeah I understand that! That's why I'm doing it a week before I go :)

Stomach wraps help a lot if you just need to be thin for a day but you can do it everyday at night.

Where do I get them/make them?

Diy, sorry I took so long. You probably already went on your trip. Hope you looked great :)

A week is extremely short but you might be able to have some gains from the exercise side by using high-intensity interval training.

For example, start by warming up and stretching, then sprint as fast you can until you can't anymore (won't last long), then recover your breath, then sprint again, then recover, then sprint again, etc. Keep doing it for a half hour or so.

This is like heart-exploding exercise that very quickly pushes your body to the limits and requires tremendous motivation to keep doing, but it can result in some very rapid gains.

So if I cut my calories and interval train everyday until next week will I get results do u think?

Some -- it's hard to expect some concrete goal to be achieved in a week, but you might make some gains which at least show up positively in your physique with a combo of the diet and high-intensity exercise.

The high protein diet, if you're very strict can give you results in a week. I do it sometimes. There's variants of it, so just Google and see what suits you. There's a popular one called dukan diet. It's not very safe to do for a long time though, so just do it for the holiday and that's it.

You can do that, but don't expect to loose weigth in just one week. You may start loosing it. Do some abs exercises. That will flatten because the muscles get stronger. Your stomach may be bloaty because of weak abs.
