We've discussed already quick ways to lose weight in another thread, and generally can agree it is not a healthy practice. Not only for what it can do to a body as far as drain, but also some of the serious long term complications of it.

So basically what my inquiry is, what do you think is a healthy way to lose weight for an upcoming match. Nothing extreme. No saunas or dehydrating. Say for example, for a 1 or 2 or 3 week timespan. Say to lose about 3 to 5 pounds. Is it realistic to be able to do it in a healthy manner successfully?

I have some ideas, but admit I don't really know. I'm thinking making sure to be careful of salt intake, as in limiting it? Also jogging more as opposed to sprinting for cardio? Trying to break meals down to smaller portions but more often daily?
