How to build muscles and lose fat quickly within weeks?

Question

Some people like models or actors have to look their best for certain occasions like a shooting. They have special training programs and diets that allow them to improve their looks within several weeks to an impressive degree what I have heard.

What are they doing to achieve these results? I am not talking about long lasting or healthy measures to get in shape, I know enough about those. I wonder what one can do to boost his looks within a few weeks, aiming to look the best at a specific time, no matter what.

Answer 1

Well they have personal trainers who work them out for hours a day and personal chefs that make all their food. Their bodies are a huge aspect of their job, so they have the time and money to spend all day making it the way it needs to be. Generally not possible for people who don't have access to that stuff.

If you just want a quick way to lose weight maybe try a ketogenic diet or hcg or something. You said you didnt care about whether or not it was healthy or if it lasted long so do some research.

Answer 2

Ok, You asked for it :)

Looking at this from the theory standpoint.

Fat loss

Loosing fat in a matter of weeks is possible. That much is certain and, as Natasha mentioned, a kethogenic or hgc diet could do it (with a BIG emphasis on could)

Muscle gain

Now here we get to the part where it gets complicated. A drastic fat cut means leaving out some nutrients nutrients and/or doing excessive amounts of cardio activities. Doing anyone of those means, that there is either less material for the muscles to work with, or the musscles are more fatigued to begin with, and the muscle gain, while not out of the question, will not be drastic.

So, in resume:

BOTH cutting fat drastically and building muscle at the same time is not viable.

The way movie stars and such do it, is by gaining muscle first, and then drastically cutting, usually by means of extensive cardio, carb depletion and the sort, which is all fine and dandy in the short run, but not healthy at all in the long run.
