Help!

Im not a hardcore bodybuilder but I need help from experts. The distance around my abs is about 40 inches and I need to get it down to 38 inches. Im going into the Army in two weeks and I need to pass the tape test. Are there any ways to get rid of bodyfat quickly around that area? If not are there any tricks that can shrink my waist 1-3 inches, even if it is for a couple of hours?

Well, first off, if you clean your diet up big time, you should be able to lose some off the waist but 3 inches is quite a bit to lose.
Two weeks huh? Well, first off, are you taking any fat burners? That might help accelerate your fat loss. Give us an example of your daily eating and we'll fix it accordingly to assist you in some fat loss.
You may also consider picking up some Dandelion Root. If you hold a lot of water through the midsection, it will help you get rid of some of the excess water.
You shouldn't be eating any bread and I'd probably get rid of any pasta as well. Cutting the dairy out of your diet may also be a good idea. A high protein, low carb diet is probably going to be your best bet if you only have like two weeks.
So, please post up a sample of what you're eating and we'll see what we can do.

Right now I am on a keto diet. I have been eating mostly salad, tuna, cheese, and some other meats in three meals a day. Every other day I run 2.5 miles but I dont do any heavy lifting. I dont do any heavy lifting because I dont want to gain any weight. I need to stay under 225 lbs. How long does it take for ephedra to leave your system and your blood pressure to return to normal? All I can think of is the preparation H trick to help me lose an inch.

Oh, I forgot that you will be tested so maybe forget the ephedrine idea. Can you use any fat burners if they don't contain the ephedra?
Okay the Keto Diet is good.
I believe the Preparation H will just draw water from under the skin so I don't know whether that would help you or not.
I would suggest getting some Dandelion root now and start taking it at least two to three times a day. It's herbal so you'll be fine taking that. You are drinking at least a gallon of water a day right?

I would also suggest cutting out the dairy, and maybe for a week cut out impact carb.s, lots of water & whey protein. If you add lemon juice to your water, it will work as a natural diuretic because of its high potassium content (like dandelion)
Usually a week before the show I will use,
Taraxatone "cytodyne tech" OR
Betalin-7-EC "BSN"

Both help to rid the water between the skin and muscle and it promotes vascularity

I drink around half a gallon of water a day. I get a blood test and a blood pressure test before I ship out. Does ephedra show up in your blood? Are there any side effects of BSN betalin like ***** tits or does it raise your blood pressure? Do they sell it at GNC because I dont have a credit card

[DADAWG]

also restrict your salt intake to help get the water weight off

Taraxatone is just a more expensive Dandelion Root formula.

Honestly hun, Dandelion Root is the main ingredient in Taraxatone and you are going to pay at least double for it. Just get yourself a bottle of Dandelion Root. I also agree with Dadawg to watch your salt intake as well.

No, Dandelion Root will not give you any negative side effects that you mentioned. It just helps get rid of excess water. It's very potassium sparing as well.

What about BSN Betalin 7?

Have you actually went and read the profile on that product?
I don't think it's what you are looking for.

[VikingSoldat]

If all the water in my body is dumped out, will I lose 1-2 inches off my waist?

Time will tell, but I would also be doing a lot more cardio then 2.5 miles every other day. I would get up in the morning on an empty stomach and run that everyday. You only have 2 weeks so you gotta push yourself to the limit to lose those kind of inches so fast.

Agreed.
