Best way to drop 10 pounds fast???

Jersey Girl · May 10th, 2004, 10:50 AM

I leave for Grand Cayman on the 21st. I want to drop ten pounds before then.

I am not interested in hearing how it takes time to lose weight and how dropping weight fast is not healthy. These things do not concern me right now. I need to look good!

Here are my issues. I am a vegetarian (but did drop 5 pounds early this year on Atkins, so I am not opposed to doing that again). And I have a broken toe, so exercise options are limited.

I am cutting out

until I get to the island.

So, give me your tried-and-true methods.

As in alcohol? My friends and I actually talked about an alcohol diet. Nothing's better than getting on the scale after a night of drinking. "I drank three thousand calories last night and dropped three pounds. Woo hoo!"

Did you know the human head weighs 9 pounds?

Of course, you'd look really funny trying to enjoy Grand Cayman after you cut off your own head!

Yeah, I'm bored at work today.

That should be about a net loss of 1 pound or so...

Try this. Do the plan exactly & you're golden. The recipe is on the website.

I did it many many years back - it worked. The soup tasted like crap though - add spices.

Remember: This diet should only be followed for 7 days at a time, with at least two weeks in between.

Day One:
Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want (except bananas). Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. For drinks- unsweetened teas, cranberry juice and water.

Day Two:
Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter. Do not eat fruit today.

Day Three:
Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want. No Baked Potato.

Day Four:
Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

Day Five:
Beef And Tomatos: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomtoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef one one of the beef days (but not both).

Day Six:
Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart's content of beef and vegetables this day. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. No Baked Potato. Eat your soup at least once.

Day Seven:
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Again stuff, stuff, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.

This is extremly unhealthy, but before celiac disease, a buddy and I lost 10 pounds a week doing the following:

Breakfast - Circle K microwave mini pizza
Lunch - sunflower seeds and diet pepsi
Snacks - sunflower seeds and diet pepsi
Dinner - ALL THE BEER YOU CAN DRINK BEFORE BEDTIME!!

Don't know why this works, except you have almost no vitamins, or nutrition, but it used to work for me!
