    I'm going to do an experiment on myself; I'm going to start snorting a couple of grams of cocaine every day because losing weight is more important to me than my health, my job or my family. What does everyone think?

    GAWD you guys are so uptight, can't a girl do a bunch of harmful *kitten* to herself and tell the world about it without having to have anyone mention that it's a bad idea? JEEEZ!!

    you are hilarious :)

    best analogy ever... ;)

    the idea came from:
    http://fitnessblackbook.com/main/starvation-mode-why-you-probably-never-need-to-worry-about-it/

    and even the Mayo-clinic:
    http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/mayo-clinic-diet/art-20045460

    maybe the Mayo-clinic also endorse coke... ;)

    He didn't ask for anybodies opinions, not many people have responded objectively. If losing visceral fat (an unhealthy thing to have) via a less-than-ideal method is on par with snorting cocaine (an anti-social, illegal, destructive habit) then either you're here for some cheap laughs or you're fairly ignorant. Either way you're not posting anything constructive. Why not post some facts as to why it may not be the healthiest method or how about this, don't post at all? This community is astounding.

    Strong first post btw....

    Also, posting on a public forum opens up the poster to opinions whether they be positive or negative. If a poster doesn't want the opinion, post it as a blog post or not at all.

    Ah so by drastically undereating he is only targeting visceral fat - I haven't heard of that method before, can you please explain more about how it works?

    Where in that Mayo clinic diet does it say to eat under 50% of your BMR? A quote from your link: "The Mayo Clinic Diet does encourage unlimited amounts of vegetables and fruit". So it's probably not VLC.

    Nobody is talking about starvation mode here, btw - people are talking about triggering binges, generally disordered eating, loss of muscle mass and malnutrition.

    I forgot where you mentioned you read this
    "The Mayo Clinic Diet provides several calorie levels. Here's a look at a 1,200 calorie-a-day menu that follows the Mayo Clinic Diet plan:"
    AND read where it said the 1200 calorie a day one applied to a 6' man.

    You've put yourself through quite a bit for what ultimately could be a very easily obtained weight loss of 2 pounds a week. I hate to say this but I think you very likely have an eating disorder. Save your vacation money and pay for a therapist and nutritionist. It will pay off in the long run in a healthier, longer life.

    If you are coming to the States for pleasure, you may want to re-prioritize your diet. You will enjoy your visit so much more, if you are well nourished, and have your IBS under control. Eat enough that you will have plenty of energy for exploring our country. Whether you are interested in visiting our national parks, cities, theme parks, historical sites, native cultures, mountains or beaches, you will be doing a great deal of walking. If you find someone you think is attractive they will be so mesmerized by your accent, they will not notice any weight loss you might achieve in 10 days. My advice, just keep talking, most of us will be impressed no matter what you say.

    Great advice!

    This is insane. Weight naturally fluctuates. Eat at a moderate calorie deficit and your weight loss will happen.

    Also, I don't blame you for overdoing it after a medically necessary fast.

    Yes I know right :D - but it's an experiment, and I really want to say that I lost 44 lbs in 6 months + I'm going to US in July for 4 weeks, so...
    Oh so it's an experiment?
    Science!

    Ok, then, since it's a well designed experiment, what precisely is your hypothesis? What is your testing methodology? What is your control? What are your key tracked metrics, and what method of analysis do you intend to utilize when the experimental period is over?

    If you're missing any of that, it's not an experiment.

    A control for an n=1 experiment. You don't use a control, you just see if you get the feels you wanted to self-confirm off the placebo effect with n=1 experiments. It's like you're looking for actual verifiable results instead.
    Do you even science, bro?
