    Would I lost weight because I'm throwing up so much? Or because I'd lose my appetite?

    This plan is kind of stupid OP and not a long term plan unless you rolling up to a occasion with 3 cups of spinach.

    If I had to do that before eating anything I'd never want to eat anything. So yeah I guess it would work.

    Yeah but with exercise some would net negative calories so this plan is pretty ridiculous.

    That's the joke... :P

    And if you never ate anything you wouldn't need to exercise to get negative calories!

    Even faster, take a dose of milk of magnesia before eating anything. Saves time spent on chewing.

    Seriously, OP?

    So is the spinach supposed to negate any calories I eat after eating the spinach?

    Hot bacon dressing also gives a dose of magical apple cider vinegar. I need to sell this diet plan!

    They did say "before you eat anything and you will lose weight"

    So I'm off to find Popeye's supplier and a KFC Family bucket...I'll eat the spinach then the chicken and just watch the fat vanish before my eyes....

    I'm guessing:

    1) The amount of volume you eat (3 cups of spinach is a lot by anyone's standards) means you end up eating less overall afterwards
    2) The spinach is very low calorie and coupled with 1 means less overall calories
    3) You get bored of eating by the time you get through eating the spinach and again coupled with 1 & 2 means less overall calories
    4) The idea of having to eat 3 cups of spinach at every meal means you end up avoiding eating altogether as much as possible

    I took his question as a joke because I am sure he might know how much volume 3 cups of spinach is.

    You're probably right but when you've seen people, with a straight face, recommend eating baby food or even pet food as a dieting strategy (which I have seen over the years in different places) you never eliminate the possibility the person is serious...

    I must including myself in this. We( maybe not you) have done some pretty outrageous things for weight loss.

    My very first attempt was I ate one footlong sub from subway everyday. I lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks. That didn't last too long after the 5 weeks.

    3 cups of spinach at every meal would probably give me enough iron to make me very sick after a while. No thanks, lol.
