270.0. "HELP !!!!!" by DELNI::CM_ROGERS () Tue May 03 1988 12:47

    
    
    hello all,
    
    	i was wondering if anyone out there could give me some helpful
    	hints as far as quick weight loss goes. i have a physical scheduled
    	for may 20th in which i MUST be about 10 lbs lighter. i've tried
    	every diet and i exercise alot. i'm busting my butt right now
    	and any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
    
    	p.s. i don't care if i get sick doing this, as long as i pass
    	the physical. it's for the police dept and i've waited 6 years
    	for this opportunity.
    
    	thanks again,        chris rogers

    Modified fasting ought to do it.  Don't eat anything.  Only drink
    juice and water.  If you want, add some fruit occasionally.  You
    should lose at least 10 lbs in two weeks.  If you would rather keep
    up the exercise, add more fruit and veggies.  Do take vitamins.
    This should not endanger you health for this short period of time
    (especially if you're overweight).

270.4A QUICK 10 LBS.ELMAGO::AROMEROWed May 25 1994 22:4616
    Hello Rogers,
    
    I was in the same situation that you are in before I joined the USMC.
    I was 200 lbs and I needed to get down to 190 before I could leave.
    What worked for me was this, the night before I went for my phyical, I
    went to this health spa which hade a sauna & whorl pool. I would hop in
    one for 10 min. and the then the other for the same amount of time. I
    kept weighing my self every 15 min. until I lost the 10 lbs. I took
    about 2 hours of doing this. Make sure someone is with you because I
    got really light headed and had to take breaks. After words don't
    drink any water because that is what you have just lost. BE VERY
    CARFULL! MAKE SURE SOMEONE IS WITH YOU.
                      
    
                                   Good luck.

    Pardon me if this sounds rude BUT, it seems to me if one needs to lose
    10lbs for a medical physical then one should do it the proper way; i.e.
    lose FAT not WATER.  IMHO losing 10lbs quickly could be the worst thing
    anyone could do to their body.  Any Doctor worth his salt would look at
    your %body fat and not what a scale says.
