Diets

does anyone know of a diet in which you can lose half a stone in a week?

[Loosehead]

Any extreme diet will lose half a stone in the first week, but most of it will be water and the following weeks will lose less and less, to lose half a stone of fat in a week you need be deficient of about 25000 calories. Not easy.

[whiskeysheri]

I can lose half a stone in five days if I eat 1200 calories per day, but like Loosehead says, probably all of it is is actually water (still makes me feel great though). x

(It depends on how over weight you are aswell).

You can easily lose half a stone in a week- but be prepared to GAIN 12 lbs the following week.

Eat lots of "Watery" foods, such as graps, soup, yougart and low fat jelly. And don't eat very filling foods, such as pasta or bread. You shouldn't really do it for long though as it's bad for your body.

I sometimes do it a few days before a really important date, and it really does work - the best thing is that my belly is a lot flater at the end of it.

Good Luck!

You could try the 'Apple Cleanse' diet. This consists of eating just apples, any type and as many varieties as you like, but just apples all day. You can then have your normal dinner in the evening. It not only cleanses your body from toxins, but you will lost weight. You can do it for one, two, three or more days at a time, but you probably won't want to!

the 'apple cleanse' diet sounds brilliant, will have to try it thanks

You're thinking of the Cabbage Soup plan most likely - designed to drop weight for pre-op patients. Recipe here: http://www.cabbagesoupdietplan.com/ and eating plan here: http://www.dieting-review.com/cabbagesoupdietplan.htm

Advice is only use this for 7 days and don't come back to it for 14 days. Drink loads of water in the day as well. Some health food shops ofer a stock mix like this but it will be better to get fresh veg and not rely on 'powdered mixes'

Well, You will mostly just lose water if you try any of the "FAD" diets... And if your not eating very much you will lose some weight but then you will make your bodys system go into starvation mode.. NOT GOOD because then as soon as you eat anything it will collect it as fat and hold onto it.. causeing your weight to go UP.. then you will " diet" again dropping you weight way to fast .. then you will eat "normal" and your weight will go up even higher. this is called the YO YO effect.. people who live like this eat and diet eat and diet and always wonder why ITS NOT WORKING haha

If you want to drop weight drink lots and lots of water..even when you feel like a snack its most likely because you need more water in your system.. so no snacks (ATER) Be very active.. eat your vegys chicken and fruits per day.... and remember food is fuel for the body .. nothing more.. so no big plate fulls.. and you should never let your self get full to the point were you couldnt jump around if you wanted to... I could go on and on but I wont hahaha

GOOD LUCK!!! Be healthy.. JEN

don't eat much, don't drink any alchohol and jump up and down often and very quickly.... why bother, you will only put in on again... do it slower and it will stay off
