  1. wht dont u ppl think of thise b4 a week or two!!!!!!  drink a lot of beer and eat cake, ull look perfect


  2. Can you jog/run?  My joints are too old for running, but it's wonderful if you can.  Add biking, swimming, dancing...anything you can do that will get you moving a LOT.  Get plenty of protein, no breads or processed carbs or alcohol.    A few fruits (no more than 3) and lots of veggies.  And then have a lot of fun in Paris.  You'll probably walk a lot while you are there, so you will keep up with your healthy ways.  Have fun!  If you don't lose as much as you want...keep up the healthy living and the next vacation you'll feel better about yourself.  

  3. cant expect much in 2 weeks

    sorry

    most ppl poinsoned by magazine headlines think changing ur body is fast and easy and so they get disappointed

    u can lose about 4 pounds following a good routine strictly in 2 weeks

    good luck  

  4. Well I lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks, and eventually went from 207 to 173 in about 8 weeks.  I did this using a ketogenic diet.  Many people say these are not safe, but the research shows that, if the directions are followed correctly, they are completely safe.  Additionally, bodybuilders have been using ketogenic diets for decades during their cutting phases prior to competition.

    The most common ketogenic diet is the Atkins Diet.  The Atkins Diet (and any other ketogenic diet) involves eliminating practically ALL carbohydrates from your diet for a period of 2 weeks (this is when the most dramatic weight loss occurs) BUT eating as much (within reason) meat, cheese, eggs, and fat as one wants, then slowly adding back carbohydrates until one reaches a level where he or she is neither gaining or losing weight.

    You could just do the first 2 week phase (in Atkins-speak it's called "induction") and then go on your trip.

    Here's the science behind it:

    Normally, the carbohydrates in food are converted into glucose, which is used to fuel one's body and brain. However, eliminating carbohydrates from one's diet causes the liver to convert fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. When the body produces ketone bodies it is referred to as a "state of ketosis" (which is why these diets are called "ketogenic" diets)

    The diet has just enough protein for body growth and repair, and sufficient calories to maintain the correct weight for age and height. The "classic" ketogenic diet requires one to eliminate carbohydrates(starchy fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, grains and sugar) while increasing the consumption of foods high in protein (chicken, fish, beef, eggs) and high in fat (cream and butter).

    The reason a person MUST eat fat on this diet is because if a person eats too few calories, that person's metabolism will slow down.  So, a person still wants to eat somewhere between 1,300 to 1,800 calories a day (this is a rough estimate; the real figure depends on a person's height and weight.  This was my estimate).  Eating meat almost exclusively makes getting this many calories into one's system a bit challenging (think about it: 1 whole can of tuna, for example, only contains 200 calories).  Also, eating 6 small meals throughout the day instead of 3 big ones keeps one's metabolism going, which also aids the process.

    While on this diet one should NOT do heavy weight training because carbohydrates are required to rebuild muscle tissue that is damaged during these activities (NOTE: Bodybuilders do use ketogenic diets, but they actually use "cyclic ketogenic diets," which is unnecessary for your purposes).  However, riding an exercise bike, jogging, or vigorous walking for 15 - 30 minutes every morning BEFORE you eat will REALLY make the pounds disappear, and aerobic exercise/light weights are always good for a person.

    My Experience:

    When I did this diet, I followed it by-the-book.  This meant for the first 2 weeks, I could only eat a MAXIMUM of 15 grams of carbohydrates each day.  To put this in perspective, 1 slice of bread has between 15 and 20 grams of carbohydrates.  I could eat no fruit, no grains (bread, pasta, cereal, rice, etc.), no milk, no nuts, absolutely nothing with sugar in it, and very few vegetables.  The diet I did (Atkins) also recommends eliminating all caffeine since it often affects ones insulin levels (NOTE: eating carbohydrates creates insulin spikes that transport nutrients to fat cells to be stored, so insulin spikes are completely counterproductive during ketogenic diets).  So I had no coffee, tea, etc.  Finally, the diet required me to drink about a gallon of water a day; I was constipated a lot due to a lack of fiber; and I had a killer headache for the first 2 days while my body switched over from using carbohydrates to using ketones.  However, I lost almost 20 pounds in that first 2 weeks.  AND, I lost almost 20 pounds in 2 weeks by eating cheese, bacon, and spinach omelets, tuna salad with extra mayonnaise between cheese slices instead of bread, and steaks cooked in butter with bacon and cheese on top of them.  This was WAY better than those no-food diets I had tried before.

    You might be concerned that a diet so high in fat will affect your health.  However, let me counterargue that point with this:

    I did this diet because I had a fatty liver, and my doctor told me to try it.  After doing this for 2 months my liver function test showed that my liver was very healthy, showing enzyme levels that were near the bottom of the healthy range (whereas they had been 3x higher than the top of the range before).  AND, since my body was converting fat for energy, my cholesterol level actually went DOWN during this cheese/bacon/mayonnaise frenzy!  I am actually healthier now than I've ever been.

    The links below should be very helpful in understanding this type of dieting further.

  5. If you refrain from eating, you will gain weight. Your body will sense it's getting no food and go into starvation mode during which time anything you do it will be stored in body fat. It's actually a better idea to eat several small meals a day. That will increase your metabolism. Don't eat foods that are high in fat; eat only lean meats, veggies, fruits, and some other food like yogurt, wheat bread, peanuts, and skim milk.

    Go on brisk one hour jogs every day. That sounds like a lot, but since you only have two weeks you don't have much choice...

    I also recommend you buy a bottle of Stacker 2/3. This product work wonders when you follow the instructions and do what I described above.

  6. 2 weeks, 336 hours, 98 hours you would need to sleep (7 hours each day on average), which leaves you with 238 hours. You can get into high intensity exercise and major part of your workout should consider cardiovascular exercises. Diet, that is the key for you. Eat high fiber and high protein food. High intensity exercise can cause internal muscle wear and tear. Do not starve and do your workout, you would collapse in no time, eat right. Watch-out each minute for your posture and physical activity. Weight training ain't too important right now, aerobics, dancing, martial arts, swimming, running (as opposed to jogging), skipping, stretching are few ways to increase your metabolism and give complete body workout.

    'No pain no gain!'

    Good luck!
