I need to drastically lose weight in 2 weeks, advice?

[wildroseandpink]

Has anyone done this?
I'm a healthy weight but my body shape suits being 50kg and I'm currently 60kg (5'3)
I have gained 5kg over the past year or so - it used to be muscle as the special machines said but it has become fat in lockdown and my clothes look AWFUL.

I am going to be filming for a TV show (signed a confidentiality agreement, sorry) in 2 weeks and want to just lose a bit of roughage to suit my clothes. For example, my belly sticks out now which is largely bloat/water weight so want to get that down.

What can I do for 2 weeks?
I was thinking continue eating healthily for a week then no carbs for a week?
I am hoping to lose 2-3kg.

Follow the fast 800.

I lost 6kg the first week and have been averaging 1/2kg each week.

But I am a lot bigger than you and have considerably upped my activity level.

I’d personally do something like this for 3 days then eat really well/carb free for a few days and do it again.

You don’t have much time so whatever you pick needs to be drastic.

I am sameish size as you and lost 6lbs in two weeks doing low carbing together with 18:6 fasting, with lots of healthy low carb veggies and drinking 3lt water a day.

Thank you I will have a look into it!

OK great - I haven't weighed myself recently as I've been eating normally so should have lost a pound or so (I had been away where I ate a lot!) since I last weighed.

So strict reduction of calories followed by no carbs just before? I am a monster without carbs so don't want to do it for too long.

One of Jason Vale juice or blend plans. They're great as a reset and shed weight fast. I do them a couple of times a year for a week or two and typically lose 6 - 10 lb. (Have a look at Super Juice Me documentary on YouTube or Amazon Prime).

Mumsnet low carb bootcamp would do this

Fast 800 18:6 is amazing

I've known new members lose this amount in their first week on Slimming World, but maybe you won't have time to join up, etc: I don't know what that involves.
I'm sure PPs' suggestions are good ones: pick one and stick to it!

Definitely do the Fast800. As you don’t have much to lose you probably won’t see a truly drastic loss but I am sure you will see enough. Good luck.

Honestly, atkins/low carb. The fat will melt away, fast!

Another vote for fast 800. It works. I am just gearing up to do it myself again. Results the last time was very good.

Good luck and enjoy the filming.

Fast 800, but don't be tempted to add exercise now.

Definitely fast 18:6 can work well. Basically skip breakfast and don't eat after dinner. Have protein heavy meals but I wouldn't skip on carbs completely.
The first 3 days you'll feel crap and then it's much easier.
Drink lots of water and perhaps take some water balance tablets.
I wouldn't bother starting an exercise regime just now, it won't make any different in the next 2 weeks except make you hungry.
Think about exercise for long term goals rather than this short term one.
2-3kg is possible, it may not stay off long term though.

Can you find someone with norovirus? I lost half a stone in five days and I’m a similar weight to you.

Wouldn’t recommend it, but was remarkably effective - weirdly I also had the clearest skin ever afterwards.

😬

If not, the only thing that works for me is metabolic confusion - higher carb and no carb days alternating.

yeah that would work op, lick someone with norovirus

Fast 800 what everyone said

It'll melt offa ya 😁

Lighter life or Exante.

Just forget that food exists for the next 2 weeks.

Eat at a calorie deficit and do lots of exercise eg running!

I love my Apple Watch as I can keep track of everything

Saxenda injection - falls off x

Fasting. Ideally 4:3. Low carb. No sugar.

And then add something like 30 day shred.

I reckon I could lose 4-5kg if I did both those things properly for 2 weeks

If only social distancing rules didn’t exist

Sign up to dropit 21. On Monday they are starting a 14 day programme. It is a no carb, no sugar type diet - you will lose the weight.

Not helpful but the only time I lost weight that quickly was eating some dodgy street food in a third world country..didn't get off the toilet for two weeks after but I kid you not my legs looked rhe best they've ever looked afterwards.
