To try to drop 4kg in 12 days ....

[Aimfor64]

I've massively bloated out due to a treatment plan I'm on and feel hugely uncomfortable. I have an event in 12 days and I know I'd feel better if I was a bit lighter.

AIBU to try to
Drop 4kg's?
Plan is no booze
1200-1500 calories a day
Daily (sometimes double) HIIT workouts (400/500 calories a workout)
Tonnes of water
No sugar or shit

Is this possible or am I setting myself up for another thing to feel shit about.
HELP!

Yes regularly do 500-800 calorie workouts, all HIIT. [/quote]
How long are these workouts? Do you have a link? It would take me an hour of running to burn 500kcals.

I can burn 500 calories in an hour doing HIIT but it's usually around 400 and I am heavy.

Most classes are 45mins and the one on a Saturday is 1hr of pure hell .....

This whole thread is full of crash dieting and incredibly unhealthy attitudes to food and exercise 🥴

I think you'll struggle OP. I'm currently 9st 10, 5'5 and eating between 1000-1200 calories a day combined with 2 classes a day, one spin and one body pump, plus a 1hr walk. I'm only losing 2lbs a week on it. But I'm 45 so it is harder at my age.

That much hiit will be counterproductive in the short term - it will cause your tissues to swell and you will look puffier even if losing weight.

Based on your height, weight and proposed activity level, I did a TDEE calculation with your proposed deficit and it says you would lose about 5 to 5 and a half pounds in 2 weeks doing your plan. Is that worth it for how horrible it sounds?

Not to mention potential side effects of overtraining and calorie deprivation- sleep loss, mood swings, hardcore fatigue etc

So true.

No wonder people have such unhealthy relationships with food, seems most folk care about aesthetics over health.

How depressing.
