Sweet. Diet spam on GFY!#%

I've lost over 25 pounds on this diet; I have more energy when I'm on it than when I'm not and the only time I get hungry is right before meals.

Funny thing for me to post considering my niche, huh? :D

great diet, but i would cut the coffee from it.

excercise is the only way

what is a good protein bread?

also, is that less than 40 grams of carbs per day?

I don't know what the carb count is. Atkins made me sick; I'm done with it.

I can't get a good protein bread around here, I substitute OroWeat 100% whole wheat bread.

Losing more than 2-3 pounds per week is not only unhealthy, but more likely than not you'll gain the weight back anyway.

Why not do it the proper way? If it were easy to be in great shape, everyone would be. Stop looking for miracle answers when hard work is the only real way.

I don't like to exercise. I do like to ride my bike and swim, but I do it for fun, and not often enough to make it work.

Coffee is optional. :thumbsup Caffeine does increase your metabolic rate a little, but as you can see, water is fine.

Exercise + healthy diet = weight loss. Fad diet = yoyo diet.

Double post.

bullshit

er, No exercise + poor diet = weight gain.

A little exercise + healthy diet= better than nothing.

I lost 40 lbs in 6 months by replacing a meal a day with a few smokes instead :). Kept it off for over 5 months now.

Recommended by doctors everywhere :Oh crap
heh

Cut down on the smokes and try this instead. It's good food.

I never said it was healthy, lol. But it worked for me. I've been a smoker for awhile now, since i was 15. But I roll my own so those are somewhat "heathier" for you. :winkwink:

25lbs in 2 weeks is not a good idea. It's like the definition of a yo yo diet.

hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm!!

Stay fit = exercise and eat in moderation:thumbsup

The best diet is to swallow a tapeworm. It works!!

thanks,
could be handy (beer belly is almost their :D)

That diet really isn't that healthy - that's too much calorie cutting. however having three 1/2 grapefruits per day, or 3 8oz glasses of 100% grapefruit juice has been shown to help weight loss. Researchers believe it's because the acidity of the juice slows digestion and helps you feel "full" longer (this months issue of mens health)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

you're welcome. :)

thanks for posting that diet, but youre not starving on it?
The breakfast is almost nothing and the lunch is so small.
Id think youd be starving for 10 hours a day and would get headaches from it.
Id be starving even after dinner on this.
Im hungry just thinking about how little you eat on it.

I'm a big fat guy.. about 100 lbs overweight when I started this diet, and I didn't get hungry.

Is grapefruit an appetite suppressant? I don't know. I do think protein is more filling than high-carb foods.

I did pig out on canteloupe and honeydew once in a while. :D Good stuff... and a lot less fattening than ice cream.

I've lost 25 pounds so far, and I don't stress out if I cheat... I just go back to it the next day.

I disagree. Crack is unbeatable for weight loss and you get more energy than ever before while you are on the crack diet. :thumbsup

I like all the 'diet' experts round here

thanks for the tip!

You might be interested to know that the doctor who created the Scarsdale diet was murdered by a jealous ex-girlfriend.

I've lost 22 pounds in, what, three months? I started out on the Body For Life program, but it's expensive food-wise, and I fell off the wagon when I did a stint living in hotels-hard to eat healthy when you can't cook.

So now I just use common sense with what I eat, drink 64 oz of Crystal Light a day, no soda, and I hit my treadmill for 20 minutes a day, unless my knee is getting tricky like it does every few weeks and then I take a day or two off. (I just bought the Turbo Jam DVDs and I'm excited about switching up my routine a bit and my god, have you seen the abs on those people, they are fabulous! I can just imagine how hot I'll look with a nice flat tummy and even though my ass will be smaller it will always be a round one, so that figure will be niiiiice to flaunt, lol.)

I bought a pair of Seven jeans and couldn't get them over my thighs when they arrived in the mail. Two months ago I could get them on, but they were too uncomfortable for more then an hour or two. I just wore them all day today without any problem, and I got lots of compliments on them. :)

or meth!


someone should ask Sleazy for advice, he's lost about a quarter of the weight he needs to.

for some reason I see being on this diet very soon.

you're following me, you stalker, lolol

Dagwolf:
Is this like a modified Atkins?
I tried Atkins twice and I gained weight instead of losing :(

I actually managed to gain weight when I was doing meth back in my rave days.. go figure..

lose weight even faster with this
