cut off a limb. Sorry, my sarcasmometer finally showed up today in the mail and am trying it out. I don't think it is healthy to try to lose that much that quick if you want to keep it off. A stone. How many stones are you anyway? How many yards tall?
5ft 8 and 12 and a half stone
bit chubby, not huge!
Safely, healthily you can't lose weight that fast.
If you're desparate run around in a winter clothing for an hour or so outside with heater turned on max. After that risk of heat stroke you should lose a pound...;D... of water.
Might I ask why so quickly?
That sounds a huge drop.
Entirely possible, but its unlikely to stay off and your immune system will suffer.
Long term or permanent weight loss are gradual processes which rely primarily on nutrition, with exercise supporting the weight loss.
In order to shed actual fat (as opposed to just water...) one of the best methods is a treadmill - 8kmph with a gradient of say 15%
Utilise this for 40mins - 1hr and it will attack the fat.
Beds, if you are trying to make weight for anything competitive or that will put a strain on your body ..... seriously, don't try and do it mate. You will be seriously dehydrated and damage yourself.
If it's for something like a holiday or something, a stone will be pushing it (using diet, aerobic excercise and possibly diuretics) - but it will still be bad for you.
Think the long term through, mate.
not trying to make weight or anything
thought i would be better applied to doing something quickly rather than long term
but understand what your saying
i'll still train hard but make sure i eat properly.
had my 2nd boxing training session yesterday and the warm up was a proper killer but loved it, will defo use the gym tomo and friday, probably weights 1 day and a circuit the next
Sounds like you're motivated:)Quote:

well im 25 now and have found i cant eat like i did at 17 as the weight stays on now!
the trainer at the boxing club says the hardest bit for anyone wanting to start boxing is just to walk through the doors as it takes a lot of balls walking into the unknown
LoL opposit problem, I'm trying to put on a bit!Quote:

In other words become a contortionist, and sit your butt down on a water sprinkler. ;)Quote:

yes but you're exercising in 105 degree heat and high humidity so you sweat a load.
ah now we know pac's secret. ;D Move to the Philippines, or bring in the humidifiers.
;D It does make you more limber - it also makes you feel very dizzy till you get used to it.
Beds outside of shaving all of the hair off your body, spending the two weeks on the toliet and sweating the fluid out of your body I can't think of much.
If you don't have to be that weight then don't sweat it (pun semi intended) stepping on the scales and seeing that you're a stone lighter won't make you 'a stone healthier' (there's no such thing). Just eat healthily keep active and train hard and you'll get there.
cheers for all the replies
colonic irrigation more like anal interogation so i'll give that a miss!!!
my thinking was although after training in heat you sweat alot, the water can be replenished but the calories burned cannot if sticking to a strict diet, but i'll just eat well and train hard, gutted i cant make boxing training tomo night, gotta wait till tuesday but been invited to an invite only mma class that some of the boxing lads do, they say its a top workout
Know a guy here, I've always known him to have one of the most solid chins I've ever witnessed.
Sweated out 14lbs in 3 days before a fight.
Putty to the opponent, stopped in 2.
and still people do it! :rolleyes::confused:Quote:

I never thought of water's role as a medium in which to carry nutrients, chemicals and hormones.
By draining the body we lose the essential salts which serve as the source of electrolytes for muscles and the nervous system. At the same time the shedding of water will cause muscles to enter a state of nutrient imbalance, essentially depriving them of fuel.
In training this results in injurys and cramp. Indeed it seems to be the primary cause of the dreaded nocturnal calf cramps.
In a fight dehydration will rob a fighter of his/her equilibrium, reduce the efficiency of functional muscles and decrease endurance....
Thats what i took from it myself anyway, so if I can figure out how dodge it is, why don't experienced knowledgable trainers end this custom?
most people just pass on what they were taught without questioning it.
It's indeed stupid. :mad: One thing that they should know, is that it takes a lot longer to rehydrate than to dehydrate. You can't just drink a gallon of water and think that it'll be alright.
I guess a lot of trainers are just clueless when it comes to weight loss, it's still surprising to see this practiced at the elite level. It's a sure way to get knocked out.
