It's possible to lose weight in two weeks -- cutting bloat, fat and water weight -- without using a juice fast or starvation diet. The key to this weight-loss regimen is to stick to a small group of foods -- all lean proteins, healthy fats and whole grains. Create portions that will keep your calorie intake between 900 and 1,200 calories, depending on your size. For taste, use salt sparingly and season with pepper, small amounts of olive oil and lemon juice. Drink only green tea, plain water or lemon water. A low-sodium diet helps banish water weight and bloat; the lean protein revs up the metabolism, allowing for maximum calorie burn; and short bursts of cardio fuel the calorie burn without taxing the body too much.
