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

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.

20 plus years ago there was that cabbage soup diet going about. May have been for patients with heart problems - not sure.

I did it for a week at a time and bloody hell the weight fell off me! I felt wonderful too.

Common sense says that if you only eat what they suggest, you'll lose weight but I looked and felt fab! You do need to be close to a toilet though after about day 3.

I did Joe Wicks 30 min HIIT 5-6 times a week plus high protein, low carb, no sugar diet, drank LOADS of water, and tummy looked so much better after 2 weeks

Totally agree with fast 800. I lost a stone in 3 weeks. There was a tv show about it recently which might be available on catchup. That would explain the principles of the plan and give you some recipes.

Also, check out the Chloe ting two week shred Smile

My dh told me that his grandad did a soup diet once to lose weight for a big family holiday so he was fit enough to keep up with them all.
Apparently he lost 2 stones in about 6 weeks.

SameToo · 13/11/2020 18:14

With fast 800 how many days do you fast to see results?

icelollycraving · 13/11/2020 18:16

Fast 800. I previously lost 3.5 stone in 3 months. It works brilliantly when you follow it.
I have entirely lost the plot weight wise but will do again to lose what I piled on this year.

“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.”

This sounds so disordered - yo-yoing so much you put on and lose 10lb twice a year.

Keep the extra fluff, it’s going to be cold at that castle & it will help you keep a bit warmer Wink

willitbetonight · 13/11/2020 18:37

Another one suggesting fast800.

44PumpLane · 13/11/2020 18:56

Fast 800 16:8 like others have said.

Do it properly, religiously, read the book and you will succeed!

Coulddowithanap · 13/11/2020 20:30

Fasting... I liked 5:2 but the others mentioned work well.

Also some good 'hold you in' pants!

ktp100 · 13/11/2020 21:58

Fast 800 sounds great (if you can stick to those cals!) but don't you lose a lot of muscle?

I don't want to be left with a stupidly low BMR at goal, which is what happened when I did other very low calorie diets such as Lighter Life & The Cambridge Diet.

Astella22 · 13/11/2020 22:05

I started the fast 800 12 days ago and I’ve lost 11lbs so far.

hopeforlucky3 · 14/11/2020 11:56

Hi has anyone hit a link to the fast 800?

ReallySpicyCurry · 14/11/2020 12:49

Fast800. I dropped 10lb in about two weeks. I do bloat a lot because of hormonal issues,but even for me that was impressive. I only did it strictly for the first 2 weeks - literally lived off chicken and spinach etc - but it sorted out the out of control carb and sugar cravings I was having and enabled me to get on with the rest of my weight loss. I was 12'10 at 5'5

Soup diet causes rapid weight loss.

Fast 800! Works wonders

RockStarMartini · 14/11/2020 13:31

I could do with doing this and lockdown seems a good time- sadly no tv show at the end for me though!

Im on day 5 of slim fast and I have lost 4pounds this week
I am bigger than you though op.
I do 2 shakes and then have an normal evening meal that meal should be 600cals but I know I won't stick to eat so this is how I have started.
I also have a cup of tea and kit kat.
Next week I will be mindful to up my water intake.

Higgy3 · 28/02/2022 11:04

I’m desperate to loose weight and want to try the once a week loss pen.
Is anyone using this pen ? And what’s the best place to purchase ?
I have seen a company advertising called ‘Slimmers Success’ looks legit ????

Lanawashington · 28/02/2022 11:08

@Higgy3 you are better off starting your own thread, people will be replying to the op so you might not get any replies or advice
