Ok I know that losing fat really fast is super unhealthy and is not the way to go about things, but it would only be this one time. It's not what you think though, I'm not an overweight person trying to get skinny. Here's the deal, the past month or so, I have been eating way too many bad foods, a lot of pancakes, and burgers, junk like that. I gained some pounds. I'm not overweight, I promise. It's like that baby fat that I'm trying to get rid of you know?

I have a birthday party coming up with like 500 people that are coming! It's coming up in about 2 weeks, I know this sounds bad but I just need to lose those pounds, and fast. Like really fast. So what are all the best possible ways I can just lose that fat? And no I would not consider throwing up, that's doing a little too much. But again, that doesn't mean I'm not willing to try other things!

One thing I was thinking I could do, even though it's unhealthy, (but remember this is like a one-time thing), would be to eat half as much as I usually do, but work out like I always have been? But then I was worried that eating half as much might backfire on me seeing that I might lose energy for doing that, not being able to workout as hard you know? I don't know...

So please, don't tell me that this is a bad idea or whatever, just please tell me all the best possible ways I can lose fat.. fast... again, it's like baby fat is what it is! I do cardio and I weight lift, I am 19 years old and am a male. Thank you!

When you stop eating, your fat cells go into protective mode, and your muscle cells shrink. The best way to lose weight is to stop eating anything that's white -- sugar, flour, rice, potatoes (unless they're totally plain), corn syrup, which means no more doughnuts, cookies, cake, pie, candy, soda (not even diet), bread. Eat only fresh vegetables and fruits, small servings of chicken or fish. Drink two full eight-ounce glasses of water each time before you eat anything.

And what you have is not baby fat.

And why am I suppose to drink that much water before eating?

And why am I suppose to drink that much water before eating?
1. Your body needs the water. Drinking it this way guarantees you will get what you need.
2. This much water will fill you up so that you will not overeat or desire to continue to eat.
3. It works for weight loss. "Obese dieters who drank two 8-ounce glasses of water before breakfast, lunch and dinner lost five pounds more than dieters who didn't increase their water intake. Those who drank more water also kept more of the weight off after a year, said Brenda Davy, an associate professor at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.

Davy isn't sure why drinking water before meals helps with weight loss. But according to the Health.com report, a reason might be that it helps fill your stomach, making you less hungry."
