crash diet?

[sansouci]

I need to lose 7 kg (15 lbs) in 7 weeks because I'm having a scheduled breast reduction in March. Although exercising for 30 mins 4-5 days / wk & following weight watchers, I need to get rid of this extra fat FAST. Any ideas?

Reduce your daily intake and cut out the junk (if any) would be a good start. No alcohol. Make lunch your main meal and have a light dinner. No snacking between meals.

It's the alcohol bit I'll have the biggest trouble with. None at all? Really?

If you are doing that much exercise per week and rigidly sticking to WW you should lose the weight with out 'crash' dieting.

You can susbtitute for booze on WW. ie eat a bit less or exercise a bit more to earn a glass of wine.

I am losing weight with exercise & ww but not fast enough! I know it's stupid to crash but I really have to meet this deadline. (If the idea of not drinking any alcohol fills me with horror, could I be an alcoholic, btw?)

bump?

kellogs drop a jean size, really worked for me, lost 4lb in two weeks so far

you're kidding! what, you eat cereal for 2 meals & steamed fish & veg for the 3rd? How much cereal? skimmed (ugh!) milk?

any wine?

tis my down fall, hiccup. But seriously this diet works!!
If your having an op please steer clear of atkins, it would give you the weight loss but the health implications so close to surg are not worth it.

oh, thanks for telling me! was thinking of the good (not)ol' protein diet...

well, wish me luck. I've been put on the PSMF Protein Sparing Modified Fast. No carbs, no fat. Grim.

Take it your not bothered about keeping the weight off then!!!
good luck and please drin lots of water, v v important!

Yes, am v. worried about keeping it off but more concerned atm with meeting surgery deadline! 27 March. i'll cross the "keeping-it-off bridge" when i get to it. Will need support from anyone who is willing...

i would recommend
no booze
no sugar
no carbs after 5pm
as many green veggies as you can stuff down as possible
