    Default Need to lose 5+ lbs in 3 days

    I have been off work for almost five weeks now...I had something to do at home and have been working on my computer every day, all day. I haven't been eating all that well because of no time to shop, cook, clean up after, etc. And no activity at all...I haven't been able to pull myself away from my house (I wish I had a home gym!) I have gained at least 7-8 pounds - I feel all pudgy and I look bloated.

    I am going back to work in like three days and I just realized how bad I look...any suggestions as to how to get rid of this QUICK? I lose weight fast anyway, when I try, but I have low blood sugar and can't go without eating regularly.

    I need like some kind of tried and proven 3-day fad diet type of thing just to get it going...in a few days I'll be back to dancing and working out and eating better...but I need a quick fix for now. I am going to do at least an hour of cardio every day (I have the time now) but what should I eat? I don't eat meat, only seafood.

    Any suggestions for an exercise/diet combo that works fast - to get rid of 5 pounds or so plus water weight?

    Francesca,
    Go to your closest Whole Foods Market and pick up a bottle of LPP Protein by Twinlab ( get the liquid form) take 4 tablespoons 3 times per day. While you're there pick up a bottle of Tonalin CLA take 2 tablets 3 times per day. This will help you firm up and get rid of the pudge.
    Drink juice in the morning. Then LPP mixed w/ juice for snack. For lunch get a salad ( try to eat a spinach salad) and chicken or whatever lean meat. Then another LPP mixed w/ juice for snack. HAve another salad for dinner, be sure to watch the dressing. I always use walnut or olive oil mixed w/ balsamic vinegar, the oil keeps my skin pretty and the vinegar boost the metabolism.
    As far as excercise try Pilates, Yoga, Spinning, or a combination of cardio and light weight lifting or circuit training. Whatever you decide do it for at least 20 -30 minutes, 50-60 is best twice per day.
    Don't focus on the scale, focus on your body and how it looks. Your dietary intake is what will provide the most results.
    PM me if you have any questions..
    hugs..

    Farrah, this is on the side...

    see this tonalin cla thing, does it only work well in combintion with other supplements e.g. lpp twimlab stuff?

    I bulk ordered a few months supply of tonalin capsules (probably pretty dumb since I haven't even tried them out yet) so I just wanna know if they'll do the trick.

    ...p.s. Francesca, do repetitive weights and if you have access to a sauna, please use it. They are great for the skin and can help you burn cals. I used to use it all the time and they are great! Not to mention a good way to relax too after a strenuous workout!

    And for food, the best hunger busters IMHO are soups! Chicken soup and watercress (yummy!) are top of my list.

    Yes Malibu ..It Tonalin works well with other supplements..I alwasy bulk order my products too ; ) I hate to run out of something ! Did you also order the LPP protein ? Try selenium too its another great supplement !

    Tampa and Malibu..I can't believe you guys do the soup thing too ! There is a local Vietnamese/Chinese place I always order soups from when I am trying to drop a few pounds quickly..just watchout for starches ie noodles,rices,potatoes..

    I eat a lot of Vietnamese and Japanese food when I am trying to drop weight fast. Also food that is high in fiber like apples and bran. I drink more water than ever and use a good thigh cream. The soup thing is a good idea, just make sure it isn't creamy soup. Also, watermelons aid digestion.

    No safe way to lose that much in such a short time. Your customers are just going to have to bear with it.

    francesca,

    whatever solid or semi-solid food you eat, do it with chopsticks if time permits. it forces you to eat more slowly unless you're a wizard with them. ideally you'll feel full with eating less.

    good luck!

    oh, and farrah, i just purchased the tonalin two days ago...waiting to get some LPP protein. i can't wait, and will keep you posted. thanks for the rec!

    I like the idea of eating soup with chopsticks.

    But seriously folks, try doing situps. If nothing else it may tighten up those tummy muscles.

    Don't bother trying, it will all be water weight.

    Fran!
    Gurrrll...I'm in the same boat, feeling very bloated and untoned, havn't even called Dallas yet about next week....

    Farrah.....great suggestions! My Tonalin and LPP came in the mail tonight. Yesterday I went to the gym and did weights for the first time in ages....owwweee, so sore!

    My suggestion for quick weight loss if meal replacement shakes like Ensure instead of one meal....the ones I like have like 250 calories only......but I can ony do that for a few days then I'm just starving!

    Oh, and no bread or pasta!

    Ok, so soup with chopsticks! got it!

    Thanks for the ideas. I've already dropped at least 3-4. Probably mostly water weight at this point, but at least I don't look bloated. Next the extra fat will come off.

    Look out Houston here I come (like I'm sure they weren't getting along without me lol)!
