2. It probably can be done...

by losing a chunk of 'water weight' and burning off muscle tissue with fat by under-eating.

Not something I would recommend.

5. Yes!

2 ways

1) eat a lot of food today, take the mother of all craps tomorrow

2)Cut off one of your limbs, they're weighing you down.

9. I second #2

who hasn't maneuvered his (gender neutral: THEIR) way down a busy street and thought, "oh! if only I had one leg? the opposite sex would love me"

6. While I don't recommend a confabulation of autos

to do it, it surely can be done.

However, you will suffer wheels in the air for your effort.

Not worth the risk.

7. um...

I say this cautiously because I know sometimes this subject triggers a major backlash but what I know is this:

In my first 14 days on atkins induction, I lost 16 pounds.

It works, if you're willing to stick to it. And before anybody hops up and down to say "not healthy! not healthy!" let me say only this: weight lost does NOT continue at that rate. I mean, it does continue but not so drastically.

18. If I could afford liquor and cigarettes, I'd just get liposuction.

Those vices ain't cheap, you know...

12. Yes But It's No Fun And You'll Gain It Back

Edited on Thu Nov-25-04 02:35 AM by K8-EEE

Cabbage Soup Diet....10 lbs 20 days, I have done it.

The more extreme version of this is rather like fasting, you only eat stuff (veggies in a watery soup!) that's like 90% water.

I did this to fit into a dress some skinny girl lent me to a real special special special occasion...I don't regret it because, I wanted to wear the dress & I wore it but, no illusions over the permanance and/or healthiness of that or any crash diet. Once in a while there's a good reason though!

eat only protein and drink that fiber stuff for ten days stay under 1000 calories.
LOW fat protein
Vitamins

If you feel really ill and start to freak out then drink some juice and say screw it! Can't be one.

19. go on the south beach diet for two weeks and be strict. I lost eight

pounds in two days. Its normal to lose eight to thirteen pounds in the first few days. It will be water weight but its weight nonetheless.

23. The only good weight to be rid of is ffat weight. The body

needs water as it is mostly water. Burning muscle tissue is the worst thing that can happen.

As long as water is reabsorbed (drink more?) and fat ultimately burned, then it's okay to do.

20. Yeah try eating

Frosted mini wheats for breakfast and lunch. Cut out all other sugar. Whatever you want for dinner but after you've eaten half of whatever it is....get up and go do something else for at least fifteen minutes. When you get back I'll bet you won't be hungry for it anymore.

Except for the no sugar don't deprive yourself and get into the deprivation mentality. That's why anything goes for dinner. That deprivation mindset is killer on actually getting anywhere.

21. Don't eat after Noon.

Have breakfast.

Have an early lunch.

Then, stop eating. 10 pounds in 20 days? No problem.

22. A diet of raw pork, rancid tuna and rotten mussels.....

will certainly aid in such rapid weightloss!

:evilgrin:

Please note that this is not serious advice and should not be tried. It WILL lead to violent illness and possibly death.
