How to Lose Weight Quickly for an Event

So you have a wedding or beach party or formal pictures that you have to do in a day or so. You want to look as best as you can and drop any unnecessary poundage. People also use this method as a detox or fast prior to starting a healthy eating diet.

 First of all, I dont believe in fast weightloss because its NEVER sticks-the weight comes back just as fast as you lose it, once you start eating normal again. Also, its sooo unhealthy and considerably dangerous if you do it for longer than 3 days. BUT if theres something you need to lose weight quick for, then here is what to do.

One or Two days before the event:

Drink water w/lemon and fruit juice-NO SOLID FOOD

Eat Soup. Soup with fragments such as veggie soup or chicken noodle is ok.

DONT workout. You will have no energy and you might faint. You might can do something light like crunches or brisk walking, but once you start feeling sick, STOP.

As soon as your event is over, go back to normal eating patterns, slowly.. If you start back eating like you were, you might experience some diarrhea.

There are these "Hollywood Miracle Juice Lose 10 lbs in One Day" blah blah garbage. You are just wasting your money. Dont buy that crap. Water with lemon will do the trick. Water is one of the best detoxes out there.

You should lose anywhere from 5-7lbs. It depends on your body weight already. Obviously if you are 5'6 and 115 lbs you might not lose much as compared to someone who is 5'2 and 150 lbs. People who weigh more lose pounds faster than a skinny person.

1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

3 tablespoons powdered cocoa - run it through a sifter or fine wire strainer to remove lumps

In a small saucepan, stir together the water and sugar, bringing to a soft boil, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to a low simmer and add the peppermint extract, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Baby Shower Punch Recipe

Ingredients

·                     1 (0.13 ounce) package blue, berry flavored unsweetened drink mix

·                     1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

·                     1 (64 fluid ounce) bottle white cranberry juice

·                     8 scoops vanilla ice cream

·                     1 cup white sugar, or to taste

Directions

1.      In a large punch bowl, stir together the drink mix, lemon-lime soda, and white cranberry juice. Taste, and stir in sugar to your liking. (I like to add the whole cup.) Float scoops of ice cream on the top. The ice cream melts somewhat and turns the punch a beautiful baby blue color with frothy white clouds floating on the top.

OR... If you are having a girl, use the same ingredients, but pink drink mix or red drink mix.
