OK guy, What is a safe method of losing 2lbs real fast.... - Page 4

ROYC75 · 09-10-2007, 08:16 PM

Not for me, no one would notice.

It's for my grandson,it's his 1st year in football. At his age level he is head and shoulders faster than any kid out there. They have a weight limit for QB's, WR's and RB's. The weight limit is 88lbs, he weighs 90lbs.

They have a weigh in each week on Thursday nights and before each game.

Problem is he is fit and trim, you can't find body fat anywhere.

What can be done to lose 2 lbs without losing alot of body fluids before a game ?

Anybody been thru this before with their kids ? I know wrestlers have to lose a few pounds before high school matches, Hoe do they do it ?

Laxatives and diuretics. I imagine with both he'd lose a good 5 pounds of water weight easily.

I think the no carb diet works pretty well.

I'd just go take a dump.

A gallon of water equals something like 8.33 pounds.

ROYC75 · 09-10-2007, 10:11 PM

Seriously, a good bowel movement, a little loss of fluid and he is under the limit.

You people act like I want him to go on a crash diet, taking supplements to alter his growth. Get over it, it's nothing like that......

This kid is going to shine at any level he plays if he stays focused. If he doesn't run at this level, so what, he has his whole life ahead of him to do so.

I know they are leting a kid play at 88 3/4 lbs....... I don't think it is going to be that tough to lose 1 1/2 - 2 pounds of fluids before weigh ins.

ROYC75 · 09-10-2007, 10:12 PM

Have him eat about a 1/4 pound of almonds the night before, that will crap out a couple of pounds.......

Whatever you say III.

Thing is Roy, if you let him eat he'd probably put on a couple of pounds over the season. Now you're asking him to drop 4 lbs to make weight. Take your own advice, he has whole life in front of him to play RB.

That's what people used to say about Scanlon.

Why don't you just have him play on the line? Believe it or not, there's a reason why they don't want the huge kids running the ball every down.

Instead of trying to skirt the rules, let the kid pave running lanes for the other kids. If he's as good as you say he is, he will have plenty of opportunities in the future to be a playmaker.

You guys are really taking this too far. I was asking if there was a safe method of doing so. I know high school wrestlers do it, I just don't know how and what the results are.

I won't lose a minute of sleep if he doesn't get to play HB this year. Seriously, he has the next level to play in.

Next year he will be too heavy to do so...... so he has 2 years of not playing HB before going to the next level.

But time is on his side, I can work with him during this time ...... all is not lost if he doesn't run the ball this year.

PastorMikH · 09-10-2007, 10:26 PM

IMO, unless he's chubby, I'd let him grow and let the coach deal with where he plays him. Start trying to keep him at a lesser weight and mess up a growth spurt and he'll be hindered from now on.

We had a kid in our youth group a year or two back that ended up in ER with a pretty serious seizure because he wasn't eathing trying to keep his wrestling weight down. Instead of teaching the kid proper nutrition/excersise habits, he was pushed to lose weight at any cost.

**Iowanian** · 09-10-2007, 10:28 PM

You asked for a "Safe method" for a child to "Lose 2 pounds quickly"...

I'm telling you there isn't one.

You're going to do whatever you want anyway.....

If the KID wants to lose weight, he'll figure it out on his own, without grandpa dragging him behind the Appledumplinggangmobile.

Just let the boy play his weight, follow the rules and have FUN.

Seriously, running in a pool will drop weight. But I don't recommed it for a kid. If you don't have to make a weight, don't.

Well, you totally ruined that joke dummy. It's "Want to lose ten pounds of ugly fat?" Cut off your head.
