You probably wouldn't be interested in this sandwich then.

you'd defin. lose some weight if you stuck with that diet! that's not a lot of calories.

I think you'd have an easier time if you got rid of the OJ, though. That's a lot of carbs, it'll do nothing but stimulate your appetite.

Hmmm so drop the OJ. I am cool with some more water. Who doesn't love water? Man am I going to be missing some flavor though.

Oh well, I'll be having a fevah for the flavah on my bday.

After around 3 days of zero carbs, you won't feel as hungry anymore. Your body will be in ketosis and will begin to burn its stored fat reserves.

It really works, esp. if you combine it with some exercise. Many years ago, I ate ZERO carbs for 3 months - lost almost 40 lbs in those 3 months. It was weird, it happened so fast it seemed like I just woke up one morning and the weight was gone.

Have kept it off for a lot of years now. I eat carbs, but am careful about what types.

If you eat zero carbs for two weeks and do at least a little exercise, you will drop a bunch of lbs.

Be careful if you do. Stand up too fast and you might pass out, that's way too few calories to stick with.

Good luck!

Fully aware that it's an extreme diet. My crutch is carbs. I love bread and pasta. I could eat it all day, everyday, three meals a day, easy. After the ten days are up I will ease into the food and work on my portion control.

Man I need something to boost my metabolism.

Diets don't work, it's got to be a lifestyle change...

You need to sustain a lifestyle where you take in less than you expend over an extended period of time to get good results. Most people would be shocked at how little food it actually takes to sustain their caloric expenditure to make it "zero sum". Add to that how much food is consumed out of habit or routine or social expectation rather than our bodies telling us "hey, I need nourishment down here" and the readily-available mass-produced quantities of processed, sugar-filled, corn-syrup-pumped crap on the market and you see why we have a problem.

The best thing you can do is pay attention to what's going into your body - everything, even seemingly "inconsequential" snacks like juice or gum or whatever. Count the calories for EVERYTHING on a few typical days. You'll be shocked. I bet you can slash 20%-25% of your intake by just eliminating calories from liquids and unnecessary snacks. Start there.

No soda, no juice, no alcohol, no milk. Water or clear liquid only (the flavor waters are fine if they're zero carb/calorie) or coffee/tea with no milk, cream, sugar or syrup. Have a bunch of small meals throughout the day - protein bars, fruit, whatever rather than gorging yourself by "three squares a day" (one of the worst things you can do for yourself is having "three squares").

Sustain this for months. It works. I know people who have lost well over 75 pounds without cravings or "crash diets" that are bound to fail by simply making lifestyle changes.

Ultimately what you stick into your body is a choice. Make it yourself and stop deferring it to other people for sake of convenience. Good luck.

Good luck, let us know how much you loose, and how you feel during this obviously effed up diet...

The three egg diet.
Bfast: one egg with a glass of OJ
Lunch: two eggs with a glass of water
Dinner: a piece of boiled chicken with a glass of water

No snacks or caffeine which honestly will be the toughest part since I have on average four cups of coffee a day.


Here it goes!

Vash, please don't cook anything tasty. I am dreaming of your potstickers right now.
Tom

Are you still going to be able to have one during the Grand Prix???
