Need to drop 13 lbs in 10 days! Help!

[Hurricane112]

Okay, I know this is not the type of question you normally see on a body building site but since I visit this site everyday I though I would throw it out there. I have to drop 13 lbs in the nex ten days for wrestling. I have to make the weight hydrated so I cant just sweat it off (there is a piss test with specific gravity and shit so I really do have to be hydrated). I have just been going hardcore no carbs and tons of cardio (2 to 3 sessions buring at least 1000 cal a session) but the weight is not coming off. I finally said fuck it and quit lifting because I think it was helping my weight stay up. I can start lifting again on Oct. 3 after I make weight. I am currently 170 lbs with 9.5% body fat. I need to be 157lbs on Oct. 3. Should I kill the all protien diet and just go to a more balanced routine, accepting that I will have to lose a bit of muscle to make the weight class and worry about putting it back on later or do you guys think all protien is the way to go. Energy levels and shit like that are not a problem neither is anything else that makes people go off diets. I am die hard and will make this weight no matter what I just want to keep as much muscle as possible. What do you all recomend?

Come on guys, help me out? Is it possible to just lose fat in this amount of time or will I have to sacrifice muscle? If so can I still go ketogenic or should I just worry about calories. should I keep my protien up? Still take my 2 tbls flax? Help?

Doesnt look like youre geting any replies bud!
We had this on my board a few months back - and I have seen a thai boxer before in a similar situation - though not as much to lose!! (Im a dietitian who sees folk one-to-one)

Youre pushing it and its going to heve detrimental eefcts on your performance, period.

Drop your carbs to v small portions, but do not exclude - have 5 small complex servings daily at reg intervals. Carb deplete but dont load - adverse onperformance - but its up to you if making that weight is so imp!

Protein, modertaly high, but regular.

CV work ++, weights for muscle maintenance.

The trick is gonna be fluid manipualtion - I posted another question on sodium dpeltion. I would sodium load - add salt to everything, + Marmite, Ketchup +++ 6-4 days pre event. Water
6 days out 5l, 5days - 6l, 4days- 8l

3 days out drop the soduim big time - only low sodium food. Water high 5-6l days 3 and 2 pre event. But try low sodium brands like Evian or other French ones.

Morning day before - keep carbs low - enough to keep you going, + 1-2l water. Afternoon - moderate protein, sip water when dry, small reg carbs.

half bottle dry white wine in the evening - bed early.

Morning more wine, reg protein.

If your weigh in is early - great - weight , then ++ simple carbs for energy - which you will need.

Im not happy with this as you will fee like shit, and be in ketosis, if you are near passing out, take a little more carbs.

I hope I ve covered everything - I could write pages to get it exactly right!!

let me know bud
Also guys Im new here so I dont want to sound like a smart arse with no credibility, but no one was answering Hurricanes post and hes desperate - this regimen will work (maybe not 13lbs!!), but is his only emergency option, other than amputation!!!

BTW - UglyASS, Wrongun, BBigman2000 know me (and others) if you want a ref!!

you may want to buy taraxatone at gnc

 

[Hurricane112]

what is taraxatone? Also, I don't have a competition on this date that I need to make the weight. It is only for certifications. I can then lose the weight more sensibly later on. Thanks to both of you for responding though

Can't help much. Back in my day, we had no hydration tests.

But, if you haven't tried it, here's a tip to knock 1-1.5 pounds off immediately at weigh-in: stand on your head for about 2 minutes, immediately before you step on the scales.

I know, it sounds screwy. But try it sometime. Step on the scales, weigh yourself. Go stand on your head for 2 minutes, then step back on the scales. Lasts for about 15-20 seconds.

it is an herbal version of lasix

 

[bigpoppadrew]

Try a whole pack of laxatives everyday!!

I do not like your chances.It can be done i suppose by doing an ATKINS type of induction diet where you eat proteins and fats and no carbs.The only problem is you will only lose water weight at the start but it will shed some weight.Also try to get some taraxtone.Good luck!
