Let me in on your crash diet secrets

I've had the dreaded call from the bridal shop saying it's time to go in and be measured for my dress. In classic DrBuffles style I haven't done what I said I would and haven't shifted as much bum fat as I would have liked. So, I need drastic options.

I've had the dreaded call from the bridal shop saying it's time to go in and be measured for my dress.

In classic DrBuffles style I haven't done what I said I would and haven't shifted as much bum fat as I would have liked.

So, I need drastic options. I don't have tonnes to lose so it's not going to be a 'lose 4 stone put 7 on' before the wedding but because my dress is being made to order if I change after I will be charged a hefty fee for alterations.

I want to get rid of a good half stone to a stone before 7th feb. I'm prepared to be drastic.

Anyone got any crash diet secrets?

    To be honest it does take it our of you. I had a couple of dizzy spells but a quick sit down and i was fine again. As for being tired, I'm not sure if it was because of the diet or the fact that my 2 year old has turned into the devil this week but even now, im exhausted! I dont remember feeling so tired when I did it before.

    Not sure if id be able to do all that exercise with it, maybe just the shred?

    I know how you feel, I've been doing my 'no carbs' diet. Absolute $h!te. I started 2 weeks ago at 76.6 kg and this weekend got down to whopping 75 kg.... this morning, back to 76.6. WTF!!! Im getting really frustrated, I'm restricting myself on all the fun thing, not drinking, craving bread like never before and for what? Sweet FA!!! ?

    Crash diets really arent the way to go. If you manage to lose say a stone for your fitting, and then afterwards go back to eating how you were before, chances are you might put the weight back on and the dress might not fit when its made. And then you will have the panic of crash dieting before the big day to get the dress to fit again

    The best way to lose weight is eat less/better and exercise more! There is no point restricting yourself to certain things, as eventually you'll introduce those things again and the weight will creep back on

    As some have mentioned, when you exercise more, you build more muscle, which weighs more than fat. So you might not find the numbers on the scales going down as quickly as you like when you do more exercise, but your clothes/dress will fit better

    Dresses can always be made smaller, so if you go for your fitting when you're a bit bigger than you're aiming to be when the wedding arrives, its not the end of the world

    Sorry this probably isnt the kind of response you wanted, but it's just my opinion
