|
| im on a weight loss program at the moment, low carb (except for one grapefruit) and about 4-5 cups of espresso, to give me energy. i dont have time to waste im getting married in 4 weeks and i have to lose 3 dress sizes. so on top of this i am doing 3 sets of 30 mins cardio a day..is it ok as its only for a month?i am 21...........i didnt buy it small. i buyed it at the right size in the summer , then i gained loads thru being depressed, lost my job etc. so yeah if i lose 2 dress sizes at least and do the corset thing thnks xok ur right about low carb (scott) i hate meat anyway lol im just using it as a weight loss thing. so would this b ok with the exercise--oats with oat milk (brekfast)-soup with ryvittas (lunch)-vegetable soup (dinner)-grapefruit, nuts (snacks)will this be ok to meet my goals. well maybe 3 dress sizes is tough- do u think i will hit 2 dress sizes doing this?? xx |

| i don't know how old you are, which would make a difference.it's not going to kill you, but i'm not sure it's going to work either! 3 dress sizes in 4 weeks is hard to attain even if you're Gandhi and you're completely starving. Why did you buy a dress three sizes too small?Maybe if you lose 1-2 sizes you can buy a corset to suck everything else in.But for my money, this is a little bit of a crazy plan. And I say that as someone who has lost a lot of weight in life. Sorry to be a naysayer, but I think you know this is extreme. |

| You'd do better to trim down using exercise. If you are doing gym work, concentrate on the equipment that tones your waist, hips and legs, and strength equipment for your upper body. This should end up with you loosing dress sizes and be a more toned shape as well.If you don't have gym membership, try running and situps.Drop the espresso and drink water instead. Eat enough carbohydrates to give you long-term energy.3 dress sizes is a little extreme, and a bit ambitious in 4 weeks, not to mention unhealthy.I'm sure you know that you should have started all this at least a year ago..... |

| Caffeine is still under debate about its effects on weight loss, all i know is the purpose of caffeine in nature is to kill insects that are trying to eat the plants it comes from (mainly coffee plant and tea bush). So basically, its a pesticide. Nobody is going to tell me it has health benefits. I would replace the espresso with water. If you are exercising, drop the low carb diet - the atkins (low carb) diet is for couch potatoes. If you are exercising your body needs complex carbs for fuel to burn, so you can lose weight. Whole grains, fruit, and vegetables are your friends. Add some resistance training (bands or weights) to your routine to build muscle, the more muscle you have the more calories you burn - even when you are sitting still or sleeping. But yeah, 3 sizes in a month - Ill be crossing my fingers for you - and congradulations by the way! |
