Intermittent fasting. Do some research on it first for yourself, but I know several people, myself included, who did not have much to lose, but were able to get it off much more quickly with intermittent fasting. There are different ways to do it, but the 16/8 plan is what I am familiar with. It sounds crazy at first, but it gets easier over time and I've found it to be really helpful.0

The food poisoning diet works very well and is inexpensive.0

He didn't log at all for a month, then logged randomly for 10 days. IF isn't going to magically fix his problems.0 -

That too. (I have no idea what exactly either of those are so I say nothing on those
)
5/3/1 was built as a peaking program for powerlifters or people who have elite lifting stats.
5x5 is a basic strength program.
Ah, thank you! I'll have to give 5x5 a look, if I ever make it back to the gym anytime soon. ( I kid, going back next week)0 -

1. If no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
2. If you drink a diet soda with chocolate, they cancel each other out.
3. Foods used for medicinal purposes have no calories. This includes any chocolate used for energy.
4. Cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breakage causes calorie leakage.
5. If you eat the food off someone else's plate, it doesn't count.
6. If you eat standing up the calories all go to your feet and get walked off.
How 'bout if you are going to the bathroom while eating or drinking? Those don't count, right?
They just go right on through!
It's almost like Tetris, but with food! 0 -

I personally don't understand the idea behind 16/8...isn't that just a normal day? If you sleep for 8 hours, aren't you not eating during that time anyways?
Edit: wait. Found out I've had it the wrong way.0 -

Maybe he got confused and thought it was intermittent logging?

OP, I'm going to diagnose you with what Mr. Martin Berkhan refers to...
leangains.com/2011/09/fuckarounditis.html
Inconsistent logging (1 month period of time, days with 3x caloric intake)
Inconsistent programming (program hopping back and forth with no long term progression)
That is... until you get the results back from your "doctors appointment".0 -

IIRC it's 16 hours fasting and then eating meals during the remaining 8. Anyone want to confirm/deny?0 -

I do 16:8 and have not noticed any such benefit. I agree that it is better for appetite control and that I eat fewer calories, but it isn't a magic bullet that makes the weight come off more quickly than spreading 1800 calories out all day.0 -

Ev, the only thing the OP does consistently is whine.
There's your take-away for the thread.
