I'v gained 6 pounds over Easter, how can I get rid of this quickly before uni?

If you start eating healthily again you will find that you will drop a few pounds quickly, as much of it will be water retention. You won't be able to lose 4 pounds of fat by Saturday. Just get back into good habits, and lose it slowly.

Drink loads of water and green tea, do a lot of exercise (maybe spinning at a gym class?) and cut out any junk food. Not sure of it'll work as quickly as you want it to but maybe try changing your intake dramatically each day, so on day 1 have a net intake of 500, day 2 have 900, day 3 have 1600 and day 4 have 400. Not necessarily those figures but you get the idea. Even if you don't lose it before uni you should lose it soon, I'd imagine it's mainly water retention if you haven't been moving much and have been eating foods with a high salt content, so don't worry

Thank you! Will be trying this out!

Thank you! I have read your posts before and you really are an inspiration. I had lost almost 2 stone before so putting this on has really made me feel down. So when you gain a bit of weight quickly is quite a bit of it water retention? Have you ever found you can lose the weight quickly after binging for a bit?

USING THE TSR APP

Thanks . It honestly depends on your body, how much you actually ate.. etc. It's very very unlikely that you could have gained 6lbs of fat just over Easter. You'd have had to eat 21,000 EXTRA calories on top of what you normally eat in order to do that. So it is probably a lot of bloat with maybe 1 or 2 actual pounds gained. I usually lose water weight quickly, I'm sure you will as well once you get back into good habits.


Haha this makes it sound as though you're advocating swimming whilst using the TSR app. Not to be advised in water!! Lol.

No problem! Over the past couple of months I've lost nearly a stone through following this, and I was 8st 7 to start with, so if you're heavier the weight should just drop off, don't worry

Wow that's loads considering you were 8st 7 to start with! If you don't mind me asking how tall are you? I'm 5 ft2 and am 10 stone 6 (Now with the added 6 pounds) and want to get down to High 8st low 9st! I was 11 stone 12 before but lost the weight and have maintained it (til now)

for a quick fix, try a detox diet. i know they are controversial, but its only for 2 days.
the one i use - day 1 eat only fruit, so like an orange for breakfast and then fruit salad for dinner and lunch (with a small amount of honey and yoghurt). then the second day eat fruit for breakfast then only salad for lunch and dinner with 50g of cheese and 50g of chicken breast. drink hot lemon water as soon as you get up, and then only water for the rest of the time. i think green tea is recommended too.
WARNING it makes you grumpy as hell! lol. i found i got headaches from not having caffeine, so i had a cup of coffee for breakfast too
basically you dont eat anything, and its supposed to detox your system. you could probably loose a couple of pounds from this, but itll be mostly water weight - then again that is good as it reduces bloating.
after that, reduce refined carbs an sugar and salt, and drink lots of water and green tea. and exercise!
i expect negs for this, but as i said - the detox is only for 2 days. do not do it for longer! its only a quick fix. y
