Hi there
I have a goal to get as fit as I can in three weeks.
I am very aware it is not much, and that I probably have to work hard and I'm ready for that. I just really need all the help I can get.

I am a 19 years old girl. Very tall (5'10) and not overweight. Actually, since I am lean a lot of people consider me as very thin, but it is only the impression that I give because of my height. I am actually larger than most of my friends.

I am extremely complexed by my body. Even though I am not all that large, I have a very flabby stomach and sides, and the worst part are my cellulite-covered large thighs. I feel and think that I also look perfectly fine fully clothed. I'm not thin but it's fine and I feel okay with that. But my boyfriend bought me this trip to Cuba and we go with lots of friends and I have no idea how I will come out in the daylight with only a bathing suit on. This summer, I went to the beach once and I tried covering myself (especially the lower part of my body) as much as possible whenever I was out of the water. I didn't have the courage to go back after that.

I started Muay thai classes just recently. So twice a week I go to the class and we spend some time with a jumping rope and do abs and a tiny but of crunches and mostly fighting. As for my diet, I try drinking lots of water ,except I'm not sure if I should do that before or after exercising, and what amounts in total? I try eating healthy, but I'm not sure what even counts as healthy anymore. Sandwiches aren't, butter isn't, meat in most places isn't (because i don;t have the budget for restaurants, I'm thinking fastfoods but if I cant even count on subways, what can I count on?). What is? I try hard to eat lots of fruits and vegetables but I'm not that much of a fan of the things so sometimes after forcing it down for too long i have this explosion and end up eating lots of fat food, wasting all of my efforts.

SO that's what I;ve come with so far.
What could I do to have the BEST results possible so quick? I'm not ready to starve myself, I don't consider it healthy, but any tip regarding anything would help. Diets? Foods? Healthy places I can eat cause im rarely home, always on the run? Exercices routine? Even though it's hard I'll do it. Like I said this took me by surprise and I'm desperate to do whatever is needed to have a good time there instead of worrying over my poor physique the whole time.

Please, please help.

In the diet forum BB1fit posted an awesome diet for cutting weight. This shouldn't be a permanent diet, but it is probably the fastest way to safely lose fat fast. It'd very restrictive, so be prepared to to make some sacrifices.
