How can I lose weight FAST?

36 replies

oopsydaisee · 01/03/2025 10:37

I have 6 weeks to lose an inch or so all around so that I can fit in a dress.
What is the quickest way to do it??
Please don't come at me about fad diets and how it's not sustainable etc, I'm not thinking about that at the moment and just need to lose some pounds.
And I'm asking for options other than weight loss jabs.

Fast 800 Keto
or if you don't mind spending a bit of ££ and don't want to prep meals
The 1:1 (Cambridge) diet

Keto and a 4 hour eating window paired together.

My 69 year old mother with thyroid issues lost 6kg in 8 weeks.

I have lost a lot of weight also.

We eat a really good dinner at 6pm and then usually something at 8pm.
She eats around 1500 calls and I eat around 1700, but we don't really count them.

Under 20grms of carbs is the rule.
We do high fat, moderate protein, low carb.

Fast 800

If you don’t work, spend at least four hours walking every day.

Fast800 for sure. Stick to it strictly, and read the bits about recommended total daily carbs/protein. Use an app to calculate the calories, and make sure you include everything, as it can all add up so quickly.

Yes- Fast 800- it's keto, intermittent fasting and calorie/ portion control in 1 diet. Not for the faint hearted! Get all the books from your library today.

You can get a free trial of the app by the way

Fast 800 worked for me last year.

Cabbage soup diet
Meal replacement shakes
Drink loads of water
Eat as little salt as possible

Low calorie diet, high protein and exercise.

I would probably try some water tablets the week of the wedding.
