cutting weight

so I'm getting marriage this upcoming Saturday and I've decided to cut weight for the occasion. how much weight? well, the more, the better.

I'm using a variation of tried and true tchniques:
1. lots of cardio. no marathon sessions, probably just 1.5 hours/day but heavily bundled up with minimum water intake.

2. limit water intake. the key to cutting weight is to reduce your water volume. it's dangerous: you could have an electrolyte imbalance, dehydrate, etc. but it can be done in measured doses.

3. low carb it. I'm going for under 100 carbs/day. not bad considering that 30 carbs/day is the stated cutting weight goal. but since I'm spreading this out over 5 days I need a bit more sustenance.

4. late night session. I'm saving my shortest but heaviest cardio session for right before I go to bed. that way my body can recuperate itself overnight as well as burn calories.

5. some weights. short but heavy sessions.
