With traveling, holiday, family and friend functions, I need to reset. For the next 21 days I'm having 2 shakes a day, and a sensible meal. I feel like it will be just as much of a mental relief as a physical one.

Anyone interested in a 21 day reboot? I'm also using this weigh in template that someone else shared, if anyone would like to utilize it as well

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R05TgMg7Xcv5rf5dAzfuNeaEOEJYtzeq5gBH5dEjnXg/edit?usp=sharing

^not sure why it won't let me link it, but the spreadsheet is there nonetheless.

Looking forward to it!

    I'm not asking for advice. This is what I'm doing. I know how it works.

    Clearly, since you're crash dieting away those lbs that crept back up. I'm sure it'll work this time

    Nope not crash dieting.

    No thanks I prefer to eat my food

    Sure. Why respond then.

    I've been here for years, and it never ceases to amaze me how self righteous most of you are. Take a break.

    If you have been here for years, then you should probably understand the crowd. So this should be of no surprise that you're met with contempt over essentially a fad diet that is not sustainable or teachable in the slightest.

    This is you assuming.

    if youve been here for years why do you still believe your body needs resetting like its a broken machine? Not only will 2 shakes a day suck (youll lose your motivation fast everyone starts out all excited for any new diet) but you wont learn ANYTHING about how to feed yourself long term, Youll likely cause more damage to your body thn good with lack of nutrients, And in 21 days youll just end up putting weight on from not learning anything about how to feed yourself.


    why so defensive if you don't like being told your being needlessly silly dont post on here, No ones attacking you just telling you the truth. Learn how to eat. Eat at defecit. Stop complicating it

    Maybe because my family and I have done intermittent fasting for years, and juicing, that's why I do it. And we also, several times a year, focus on reconnecting with whole foods, and nourishing our bodies with the healthiest food possible. It's a great way to "reboot" yourself mentally and physically. Correcting bowel issues, mental fogginess, resetting bad habits. Juicing is a great way to do it, and 21 days is short and sweet, and certainly not complicated. If you have a problem with that, don't do it.

    You are all making grand assumptions, when I asked a question for those interested in focusing on something entirely different than your arguments reflect.

    Save it, guys. You exhaust people with your unending arguments. Unless you have something productive to say, that actually relates to me in anyway. After my 21 days, if you cared to ask after you jumped down a strangers throat, I'll go back to eating my normal sensible diet, feeling refreshed, like we always do.

    Welcome aboard!

    Thanks. I've actually learned a great deal here over the years, esp regarding CICO. I'm grateful for that. I just mostly read, though, but truly, thanks for the warmth.

    It's basically the slim fast plan. How many calories are you consuming?

    I wear a fitbit, so stay within my TDEE calories -500 for now. Right now I'm just mostly wanting to reset my habits, thinking, and relieve my bloat and cravings. My palette is a little disjointed right now.

    I'm in. Unlike all the others on this post I'll be supportive. I've been doing two shakes a day and a sensible meal for about a month and I feel great. I don't have sugar cravings anymore and have a lot more energy. And yes, it is a 'reboot.' My mother lost 50lbs in 12 weeks doing something similar through a weight management program at a hospital (and kept it off!) So unless every person who commented negatively about your idea is a doctor or nutritionist, keep your comments to yourself

    You've been doing it a month so far? Well, looks like I'll be joining you then. And thanks for your comment, I'm so glad you're feeling better. I know mentally I'm looking forward to the focus and routine of 1 thing, until I start feeling better all around. I've been feeling like a stuffed sausage, and it's affecting my sleep badly.

    Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you!

    It's been awesome! I stay under my calories almost everyday. I have tons of energy, no sugar cravings, no bloat, and my skin looks awesome because I have basically rid my body of all the horrible things I ate before I started the shakes. I drink two GNC Total Lean shakes a day, I mix with 1% milk so I get a few more calories because I use as a meal replacement. I give myself a day a week that I'll eat healthy meals to get a break from the shakes, and have noticed that I'll actually eat less than I normally would have, so it's definitely helped with portion control.

    I can have as many snacks as I need, as long as it's whole nutritious food, and I'm listening to my body. Typically I had 2 a day, it depends. Good question, though.

    A hospital supervised weight loss program is rather different from what is being suggested here. Fo r one, it's medically supervised rather than Internet fad. Nonetheless, people will do what they want and find a way to justify It.

    I'm not doing a fad diet.

    There is such a thing, cause I'm doing one. And I "need" one.

    Humans don't need to reboot as we are are not computers. What you're doing has no scientific proof that it's necessary or even helpful. And a miserable way to spend a few weeks. No need to be miserable with shakes.

    I remember your previous posts. You got really good advice. Why torture yourself?

    It's not torture. And you are right, I think detox is a better word than reboot.
