How can I lose weight FAST?

[oopsydaisee]

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.

Low calorie diet, high protein and exercise.

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

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

Low calorie
Run 5km every day
Drink a lot of water

Fast 800 worked for me last year.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Weight training, lots of water, majority of your meals vegetables with protein thrown in

Any VCLD - search the brand names, basically you have shakes and very low cals and carbs.

you also might want to try one of those plastic wrap things you can book an appointment for a day or two before

Intermittent fasting (the grown-up version-two food-free days per week) unless there are medical reasons why you can't do that.

weight training for something in a week's time is useless.

The op says 6 weeks.

My hubby would eat healthy for 3 days, have 1 cheat day, and the other 3 days he would use the military diet.
Also drank loads of water and walked 20,000 steps per day. It worked, he lost a fair chunk.

oops! Sorry. Edited to say I hadn’t seen you didn’t want WLI.

Agree. Low carb is essential though. When you drastically cut carbs to less than 20 grams a day, your appetite disappears after about 4 days so it becomes easy to not overeat. Add in some brisk walking (aim for at least 30 mins twice a day) and you should manage that.

Caveat is it depends on how “big” you are - if you are significantly overweight you could lose a stone in 2 weeks but if you are not very overweight and just want to be trimmed, you won’t lose as much.

good luck and let us know how you get on!!

Fast 800. Low carb and high protein
Make sure you take supplements to get minerals

I'd just do shakes.

Altralife is the one used in the NHS. £35 a week, 4 shakes a day, which is 900 calories.

What exercise do you currently do?

weights, spin and yoga will tone you up a noticeable amount in 6 weeks.

The glowwithjo YouTube dance fit videos are good. Plus fasting.

Fast800 really works. I did three weeks of that, sticking to recipes from the Fast800 Recipe book by Dr Clare Bailey and Justine Pattison. Now doing the 5:2 using the same book, but I’ve added a bit of exercise into the mix. Started on 13 January (so approaching the end of week 7) and I’ve lost 9kg and 9cms off my waist. You don’t need the app or a subscription…we have just used the book and there are loads of great recipes. The book explains how it works and what to do. I’ve found it really easy to stick to, although DH is doing it too and that really helps. Good luck!
