Fasting for Two Days

That sounds...extremely unhealthy.

You have plenty of time before your wedding. This is totally unnecessary and sounds harmful.

This sounds horrible. Eat right, exercise.

That's super unhealthy.

Not a good idea. How does your SO feel about this?

Skip the fasting and just start with the lower carb higher protein diet now with exercises. Fasting will actually slow your metabolism down because your body is essentially starving and trying to hold on to all of its nutrients. So when you start eating again your body will hold on to all you eat because it thinks it will starve again.

And low carb doesn't mean no carb. You can eat whole wheat and whole grain foods. Carbs are in everything. Even broccoli. Just eat proper portions and limit carbs during your last meal of the day.

@Joellemarie5 what is SO?

Omg don't do this "diet." Are you kidding right now? This will do you no good. Start shrinking your portions and your stomach will shrink too.

Please dont do this.. Starving slows your metabolism.

This is a bad idea. I've done the lemon/cayenne/maple syrup one for like 8 days and lost a ton! But that's also a bad idea. I also did a juice cleanse and it worked really well

Significant other. Check out the newbie thread. There's a lingo guide :-)

SO stands for significant other. And wtf to the "diet". Please don't starve yourself and ruin your kidneys and stomach lining for the sake of a dress you're going to wear all of once. Just do a normal diet and extra exercise. Losing weight is about burning more calories than you consume.

Look into intermittent fasting.

2 days of not eating really isn't going to do anything long term. Why not just start the low carb diet and exercise now?

Bad idea. Coming from someone that's a nurse...don't do this. Just doing very low carb will work well...lots of water, no soda, etc.

The fuck?

NO.

NO NO NONONONONONONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoO

Just NO.

This is a fucking horrible idea.

Jesus.

Okay- now that that's out of my system.

35 pounds- assume roughly 1 pound a week. that's roughly 8.75 months.

Assume you will lose more weight in the beginning- and as you reach closer to your goal weight- you'll lose less.

Assume also- you won't be entirely accurate or consistent- assume 7 months.

you are currently 9 months from your wedding- and you still will need alterations- so that's really like 7 months.

PERFECT.

You can do this.

Eat less.

Move more.

You want to maximize calories that make you feel full- but aren't high in calories. Don't completely eliminate something from your life unless it's A. giving you an allergic reaction- or a physically bad side effect or B. it's REALLY a trigger food for you that causes you to eat until you want to puke.

No need for crazy crash diets- it's unhealthy and not likely to leave you successuful

Slow and stead wins the race- the biggest thing people lack from their weight goals? consistency and patience- they give up far to soon- and are far to inconsistent.

with a game plan- consistency and patience- you cannot fail. You just have to be stubborn about it.

Thank you @Alyssa... I will just do the low carb diet. And thats exactly what I was going to start but I will skip the fasting. I was trying to look it up online if this was healthy or not, and the only thing I could find was how people fast for religious purposes. Nothing mentioned how healthy it was. But instead I will have plenty of protein, veggies, and fruits, and for bread/etc... just have whole grain, wheat. Im going stop eating after 6pm, and try to start sleeping closer to around 9pm, instead 11pm like I used to... lol... And drink 8-10 bottles of water per day... With jogging 3 times a week, and alternative exercises 2 times a week... with 2 days off of my body to rest... Ive never tried dieting before, so don't know where to start, and from all the research Ive done, it seems the low carb diet is a pretty healthy one. Thanks

OMG. I was a dancer. Add in cigarettes and yep that's the perfect diet. First of all" shrinking the stomach" with diet is a myth. Secondly you metabolism will slow down with starvation.

Don't know where to start?:

Drinking all of that caffine without food can really harm your body!

I hate that you're using the word fasting. That's not fasting, at all v
