Giving up wheat for a week won't do anything. If you work out daily for 1-2 hours, you can lose about 1lb of fat a day, and gain muscle.
Trust Jaden to know everything about working out and muscles XD
Well, he's almost right. You're not going to see any real results in a week, no matter what you do, but especially if you don't exercize. A diet like you're talking about might make you lose some water weight, but that's about it. If you really want to lose weight, you have to stick to a healthy diet and exercize plan for a good amount of time. On the downside, it takes longer. On the upside, you'll be healthier and feel much better to boot.
Well, my thinking here was based around the pa's experience, who got a gluten allergy and thus shed a lot of weight very quickly. Of course, exercise and healthy eating are the best way to go, but I want some short-term weight loss, and wheat seemed a good way to go (carbohydrates?). My plan B was to cut out on solids altogether, and live on soup for a while...
Looking like a muscleyman isn't really that much of a big deal for me. I'm built fairly solidly without looking too much of a thug, and it got me out of a few sticky situations back in the day. And yes, beer's out ftm, on wine again (healthier heart! goes better with fish!).
