Method 2 of 5: Rapid Weight Loss Diets

Consider the Master Cleanse. The master cleanse is a liquid-only diet that consists of a “lemonade” (lemon, cayenne pepper powder, maple syrup, and water), a salt-water drink, and herbal laxatives. The diet lasts for 16 days—three days of easing into the diet by only eating raw fruits and veggies, 10 days of the liquid only diet, and three more days easing back into solid foods.[5]
  • Be aware that this diet should only be done for very short-term weight loss and is supposed to function as a detoxifying cleanse rather than a strict weight-loss routine.

Method 3 of 5: Rapid Weight Loss Diets

Try the water diet. This diet involves drinking a daily total of about 64 fluid ounces (8 cups) of cold water, at regular intervals throughout the day. Drink a glass of water before each meal to suppress your appetite. Doing this will help you get into the habit of limiting the portions of food you consume during each meal. By drinking water, you will feel full before a meal, thus helping you consume less calories.
  • Keep in mind that this is not a water only diet. Water-only diets can actually be quite dangerous if done for too long a period of time. Your body needs nutrients to stay healthy and maintain a strong metabolism. If you drink only water for more than a couple of days, when you start eating again you run the risk of gaining even more weight because your metabolism will have slowed tremendously.[6]

Method 1 of 5: Rapid Weight Loss Diets

Do a juice cleanse. This method is also known as the Hollywood diet.[1]. There are many different kinds of juice cleanses out there. However, the main concept is to only consume juices made from raw fruits and vegetables. The cleanse will remove toxins from your system, helping you lose weight while also making you feel more alert and healthy.[2]
  • Most juice cleanses last for one to three days, though some will go up to seven days at a time. You can either buy a cleansing package from a health store or company online, or you can buy your own juicer.[3]
  • Be sure you incorporate plenty of vegetables into your juicing routine. Fruit juice contains a lot of sugar, and drinking a lot of it will cause you to gain weight instead of losing it.
  • Some of the most popular cleanse brands include Cooler Cleanse, BluePrint, and Life Juice.[4]

treatment

Treatment of Gonorrhea

Gonococci are resistant to the commonly used antimicrobials like penicillins and tetracyclines, and they are avoided as a first choice option. Single-dose of intramuscular ceftriaxone or oral cefixime can cure most cases of uncomplicated gonorrhea. Single-dose oral ciprofloxacin, or levofloxacin is highly effective for gonococcal infections acquired in the United States.
Gonorrhea patients should also be routinely treated for co-existing Chlamydia trachomatis infections, with azithromycin single dose or doxycycline twice daily for 1 week.
Disseminated gonococcal infection patients are treated with injectable formulations such as ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin, or levofloxacin for 1-2 weeks. Other complicated gonorrhea infections may be treated orally for 1-2 weeks. All partners in the past 60 days should also be treated.

How is gonorrhea diagnosed?

Diagnosis of Gonorrhea

Medical history would reveal the unprotected sexual encounter(s), a recurrent or peristent UTI (urinary tract infection) and penile or vaginal discharge. Upon a gynecological examination, the cervix can be swollen and can bleed easily.
Gonorrhea may be diagnosed with simple microscopy. A smear from the infected person is sent to a laboratory and evaluated under a microscope to identify the pathogen. A bacterial culture is not necessary but may be done to confirm the diagnosis and test the sensitivity of the microorganism. This will assist with deciding the upon the treatment regimen.
Routine investigations can show raised white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), which are more expensive than a culture, is becoming increasingly common.
