I lost that much in the week leading up to my cut. 10.8 pounds, to be exact. I lost a total of 26 pounds in 15 days, and only 13-14 (max) of it was water.
I have to lose 23 pounds by the end of the month

My doctor friends use this diet when they have to get a patient to lose weight quickly, for heart surgery. I've tried it and it really works. You just do it 3 days in a row each week, 3 days on, 4 days off, over and over:
Three day diet

The above diet will do a wonderful job in leeching every bit of water out of your system and giving you an artificially lower weight for a short period of time, but as soon as you start re-hydrating it'll go back up.quote:Can you still exercise on the heart surgery diet?

Yes, I know. I gained 10 pounds back within six hours after my weigh in on Tuesday.
I have a spreadsheet that calculates my BMR and I'm running a daily deficit of only about 1,000-1,200 calories. It combines my caloric intake, BMR, and calories burned through exercise to give me an approximate expectation of how much weight I should be losing on a daily basis. So far, outside of the water cutting shenanigans, the calculations have proven to be either low or right on the money. If I stick to my exercise projections, I should only need to drop about 5 pounds of water this time.

if you're losing 12 pounds in 15 days of actual non water-weight as referenced by your post above, you're hitting a daily deficit of 2800 calories on average. That is a metric **** ton and since you're not obese, that high of a deficit is really going to take a toll on your body.
I don't know why what I'm doing is working so aggressively, but it is, and I feel great. I did 70 minutes on the elliptical last night like it was nothing. I wasn't even tired or sore afterward. Sometimes I eat what seems to me like a lot of food and it turns out to be only 750 calories for the day.
But maybe it's all in my head since this is so important.

Your nerves are probably shutting down.

Concerns about the effects of hyponatremia on nerves and the brain was one reason I began consuming small amounts of pedialyte on the last day.quote:I was thinking the same thing. We should have made him take some cognitive ability tests before he started and kept track of his mental acuity throughout the process.

Maybe it's those protein shakes you take at night...

What do you expect someone suffering from cognitive degeneration to say?

Wow. Albolene is the real deal. I rubbed myself down with some before the sauna and the sweat just poured off of me. I lost almost 3 1/2 pounds in 45 minutes.
Made weight today.
Thanks for everything, folks.

Pretty sure I would start chewing off my arm hair if I tried that diet.
I tried it... it sucks...
