slimfast. kidding just make sure your calorie intake is less than what you burn. Stay off sugars, eat more white meat.

8 pounds in 12 days is fairly easy. Just cut out the carbs and dont add any sodium to anything or eat anything with a lot of sodium already in it. Eat some chicken or Tuna for dinner the next couple of days and run every day with a hoodie on and some sweat pants. Break it up and run for a total of about an hour a day like this, hell maybe even just 30 mins a day.

No Soda, No Juice, just drink water to stay hydrated.

As a wrestler I know how cutting wieght can suck, and it sucks even more if you have to go to a suana. I did my best in my career to avoid that at all cost and was able to for the most part. Even during my senior year when I cut 30 pounds to make my wieght class.

Clean your system by using a diaretic, you will lose 3-4lbs, and if you are eating healthy, you wont gain most of it back if you excersize too.

I'm assuming you've already cut out the obvious. Alcohol, fast food. I know guys you train and don't cut this stuff out. they of course lose consistently. Eat almost all of your carbs early, before 12-1, and eat chicken breast and tuna for your protein. Eat 6 small meals a day. Drink a lot of water, don't eat 2 hours before you go to bed. continue training and the 8 pounds will fall off. if you're a little over the day before, just drinking less water, skip your last meal, and when you wake up, you'd be surprised how much you lost over night. that's how i did it in college once i started losing it the right way. in highschool i jumped rope with a rubber suit on in frond of our woodstove. don't recommend that route. lol.

this doesnt really answer your question as to what foods to eat but, if you can find a girl who has Water pills...get a couple off her. When i wrestled in high school i would be like 9-10 lbs over and take one of those pills and you piss out like 4-5 lbs.. don't take them if you havent been drinking many liquids lately though...and don't take them if you have plans because you will piss all night lol

Distilled water will help in sodium depletion. A natural laxative and natural diuretic will as well. As previously stated skip your last meal the day before weigh-ins only if needed. Carbs in the morning then protein and fats in the afternoon and evening. 8 pounds is nothing bro. Weigh yourself in the morning before eating. Chances are you'll weigh 5lbs less then weighing yourself midday. (assuming you haven't already done so.)

i like pedialite and oranges. period. once i lost 17 pounds in 7 days running 5 hours a day, only eating oranges, and drinking plain pedialite mixed with cranberry juice. but i did hit the sauna ever other day so you might wanna check that out if your still not losing the weight. try bundling up in a ton of layers of sweat pants etc and riding an exercise for about 6 hours every morning. I usually wait until they start the daily law and order marathon on tnt so I have something to do, but if that doesnt work you arent human.

i also recommend getting all of the unwanted snacks out of your house. all of them, chips, anything with corn, chicken, all of it. only eat veggies in the raw, and oranges. bananas work too but i started to feel like a monkey after eating 6 in a sitting. MOST OF ALL STAY FOCUSED, you can live without food for a long time, its all mental, just keep the electrolyte formula handy!
