How to Lose Weight Fast in Two Days

Losing weight fast in 2 days is often referred to as "cutting" weight. This is generally done by wrestlers, mixed martial artists, boxers and anyone else who is involved with sports that have weight classes. If you fall into any of these categories, or if you are just trying to run an experiment on your body, you can achieve this weight loss by following some specific steps. But keep in mind that the weight loss is mostly from water, and you are going to have to make major sacrifices to carry it out.

Step 1

Avoid eating heavy foods that are hard to digest like processed meats, cheese, potatoes, breads and commercial baked goods.

Step 2

Cut out all the high-sodium foods from your diet. Frozen dinners, canned soups, ready-made meals and condiments are all examples of these. Sodium can cause water retention and compromise your fast weight-loss efforts.

Step 3

Have your diet consist of foods that are easily assimilated like fruits, vegetables, protein shakes and nutrition bars. Eat these foods every 2 to 3 hours to keep your energy levels sustained and your metabolism elevated. Aim for no more than 1,000 to 1,200 total calories for the day.

Step 4

Drink a gallon of water a day to flush out subcutaneous fluid and to keep your body hydrated. In doing so, eliminate all other beverages from your diet that contain calories like soda, alcohol and sweetened teas. Make sure to drink spring water that does not contain sodium.

Step 5

Perform long-duration cardio sessions while wearing a sauna suit. Do cardio for 60 to 90 minutes on both days. To increase your caloric expenditure even more, roll a spin bike into a sauna, and exercise in there while wearing a sauna suit. The sauna suit encourages weight loss through sweating, but be careful not to overheat. You can also jump rope or mix in some full-body calisthenics like jumping jacks, squat thrusts, push-ups, lunges and squat jumps. Constantly drink water while you are exercising.

Step 6

Take a mild laxative to promote bowel movements. Use one that has all-natural ingredients and take it as directed to avoid any harmful side effects.

Step 7

Get plenty of sleep to fully recover from your vigorous routine. The Centers for Disease Control recommends that adults get 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night.
