I am down to the final week in a company weight loss contest, I�m sitting in 2nd place behind by about one % what is the quickest way to shed 3-5# by Thursday lunch time?

Sauna
Hot Bath
Parsley Tea
Water Pill
Or...

Figure at this point my only shot is water weight. Advice?

I think the best advice you could hear is this...

I've listened to MMA fighters and boxers on radio programs who talk about making weight.
The things you mentioned are sort of in the "speed weight-loss" arena.

Just look up boxer or MMA fighter videos or interviews about "making weight."

Otherwise, all my "drop weight" advice is long term, dump sugar, intermittent fasting and squat thrusts.

...good luck!

If you had asked this question with a week left I could've named several ways to drop a minimum 5 lbs in 5 days without being hungry.
With the time left I can only recommend drinking a minimum of 2 gallons of water the days prior to the weigh in (none on the day of) and eating something like green beans (very low calorie per serving)and the leanest turkey (also very low calorie per serving) for a total calorie intake of 750 a day. Absolutely nothing else to eat or drink.
Good luck.

Don't eat anything and drink lots of fluids today. Nothing after midnight and hold your breath while you weigh-in, haha. GL!

Nothing to eat after lunch today. Drink you a bottle of magnesium citrate this afternoon. Have baby wipes on hand, and never get beyond a 32 second radius from a toilet.

You will want some Gatorade or pedialite for tomorrow after the weigh in to build back some fluids and electrolytes.

So...has Thursday lunchtime come yet?

SWH, did you win it?
