Hmmm....nettle tea. Really good at cleaning the crap out of you. Get a box, and drink at least 5 cups a day.

cut out bad fat, including cheese, eggs and dairy, eat lots of fruit and drink lots of water.

I went on a diet that lost me a stone in a week, basically it`s 1 black coffee and a grated carrot with lemon juice for breakfast, a boiled egg for lunch and chicken breast and salad with lemon juice for dinner

cut out all your carbs i.e bread , rice, pasta and potatoes. unless your doing lots of excersice they will hold weight and drink lots of water as this will rehidrate you and pass through your system without holding any weight

Elvis that's a bit drastic I bet you put that back on quickly 3lbs is an average weight loss for your first week if you are not very over weight. Just cut out the fat the crap and the sweet things..

Oh God, pleeeeeease don't do Elvis' diet!!

3lb is relatively easy so long as you do what Dot<B/> says and (part) of what stuel advises.

Set yourself the full week to achieve it. Then plan your meals ahead and eat healthy dinners of grilled fish with salad, followed by fruit. Have cereal and fruit for breakfast and salads for lunch (ensure your salads are varied to include fish, egg, potatoes etc.). Cut out crisps, chocolate, cheese etc. for one week and drink only water, green tea, fruit tea or fresh juice.

And if you fall off the wagon don't lose hope! Just get straight back on it again. It's only 1 week after all. It'll fly by.

Ooops. Bold off!!

My diet was supposed to be over a two week period, I lost the stone in a week and stopped, the best thing about it was the weight stayed off afterwards

I only went on it because a bloke at work told me about the "stone in two weeks" theory , so I gave it a go and it worked
