Any Way In Only 5 Days?

[Strawbunny]

Is it possible to lose a significant amount of weight in only 5 days?

What about a decent amount of weight?

Has anybody here ever dropped pounds this quickly?

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.

I just need a little boost of confidence because I have a big day coming up and I want to feel my best.

But I have gained a few extra pounds, since there have been a lot holidays in my family this month- which means food, food, food!

Thank you all, kindly! ?

Cut down on foods with sodium. Foods with a lot of sodium and salt itself tend to make you absorb more water weight. Drink plenty of water, but decrease it to a safe level about 1.5 days before your thing. If you just plain stop eating now, you're not gonna lose much of anything in only 5 days and it's extremely unhealthy. In fact, if you stop eating, your body will start to use anything you do put in your body as reserves and you'll get a little bloated. Anorexics freak out when this happens and stop eating again and end up in the hospital. So, don't be stupid. Just remember to feel good about who you are and if you really want to lose weight, reduce your caloric intake by about 500 calories, get plenty of exercise, and eat nutritionally. No soda. No snacks. Not saying to become a vegan or anything, but people think if they just cut down on unhealthy food they're gonna lose weight. Nope. And there's no magic pill either. Got to throw in some kind of exercise too. Good luck.

Well, I have read in various articles/books that dropping 5 steady pounds a month is the healthiest. It also helps to ensure that its a more permanent drop in weight, rather than just losing it and getting it back right away. I am sure there are REAL UNHEALTHY ways to drop weight in such a short time, but I would never recommend or suggest it. Wanting to drop weight in 5 days is totally healthy, especially since I am getting the vibe from you that you are not talking about 2 pounds, but much much more. :/

I was thinking like five pounds.

Is that bad? :-/

Anyways, you are right that it isn't the healthiest of ideas.

I did about 5 kg in 6 days.

I ate aprox 500 - 800 kcal a day, and excersized about one - 2 hours a day.

But it depends on your body type. I loose weight extremely easy and fast, so this works for me.

Some people have to struggle for months.

Err, the quickest I ever dropped weight was 20 pounds in a few months. You're not supposed to physically and naturally be able to lose a large amount of weight in just 5 days...

Weight or fat?

You want to lose fat, I'm afraid 'weight' is easier. You could lose a lot of water weight. A very aggressive diet might knock off 2 lbs of fat in 5 days. But another ... 6?8? more of water. Which won't make you look better.

Okay, thanks.

I wasn't really holding out much hope.

Lol.

food poisoning will get you thin fast other then that id say loads of excercise and a healthy diet don't starve youreself or your body will hold on to every bit of stored fat it has

[Strawbunny]

Haha. Never had food poisoning and I hope I never will. But I hear it is the best diet of all time.

an ex girlfriend of mine told me had food poisoning once she told me she like lost a lot of weight like that
