See what happens when we procrastinate on our goals? We have to eat cat food.

Try Juicing.
Watch the movie, Fat, Sick, and nearly dead.
Just IMDB'd this - never heard of it before but I am going to watch this now, it looks interesting.

Ok I normally do not post comments on questions like this but its more of a comment for the people that keep saying that it is acheivable and they have done it. Obviously you people are losing weight for the wrong reason because you are starving yourselves ( I know this because I have looked at your calorie intake for the days and you are not even getting in 1000 calories a day most days!) To be serious about changing your body and acheiving healthy weight loss you need to eat your calories a day plus your exercise calories according to my doctor and dietiacian. Any weight loss over 1.5 pounds a week will only back fire on you and it is not sustainable. So for you people out there giving advice on how to wreck your metabolism and screw up your body rethink what your saying and do some research. Im sorry I have seem it over and over it wont work in a healthy way. As for all of us having our heads in our backsides? We are just trying to keep a big mistake from happening. Good Luck.0

PSMF, protein sparing modified fast...basically atkins, basically meat and greens, meat and greens...etc., go as low carb as possible and try to stay in ketosis...no big exercise but some light cardio of about 400 calories brisk walking or elliptical, etc. And drink about gallon of pure water a day. Some portion of your weight loss will be temporary. DO NOT eat low fat. Keep your fats up even if it's fatty meats, but you'd rather get it from fish, fish oil, avocados, things of that nature. This is mandatory. This an extreme approach and some of your weight loss will be temporary. On day 21 you'd do a carb load where it will be mandatory that you eat a high carb diet for at least one day, it should be uncomfortable. I will private message you.0

this sounds like a recipe for your body going into starvation mode and you won't be able to lose the weight you want after. a healthy weight loss is .5-2 pounds per week. If you are doign that and eating all the nutrients your body needs then I would be happy. if this hen-do ( i have no idea what that is!!!) was so critical to lose weight...you should have started sooner. You will deprive your body of the nutrients it needs and lose lean muscle mass if you lose that quick. it is purely unhealthy and chances are you will feel so deprived that you will binge after and gain it all back. stop looking for a quick fix and make it a full time lifesytle change that you can keep up your whole life. you didn't gain the weight overnight so don't expect to lose it overnight.
FYI a hen-do is a batcholorette party in the UK 0 -
Anger is often generated by unfulfilled expectations.
As it has been said, if you want to lose weight in a manner that will keep it off this may be unrealistic.
The first comment on this post was due to the fact that so many people want a miracle pill or an easy way or want to fit into a dress in xxx weeks. If your only care is temporary weight loss, you probably won't find much real support here. If you want to lose weight in an unsafe or unhealthy manner, you probably won't find a lot of support here.
The culture here, and why I like it here, for the most part is life change to be healthy which is reflected outwardly by weight loss and muscle gain. You can't hide healthy.0 -
I have an obese cat. He's a Maine Coon Cat and weighs almost 30 lbs and all he ever eats is very expensive, organic cat food. (Sigh) I just don't think the cat food diet will work. But good luck!0
-
okay here's the thing. You need to eat cat food, and ONLY cat food for the next 6 weeks. Seriously, have you ever seen an obese cat?
umm.... yes i have.
I saw a photo of one in my vets, warning people not to give their cats human food!0 -
I would say fill up on as many veggies as you can first before eating anything else, I lost 15 pounds in one month doing that.0

You're shaking your head, and I'm shaking mine wondering why you'd even mention the term "low fat" in this thread!4 Pounds A Week??? -=Shakes Head=- Unless you have A LOT to loose, I dont see this as being very possible while eating a balanced diet.
Maybe stick to something more maintainable like 2 lbs a week. That is healthy, a huge success within itself, and much easier to pull off (even though I cant even do that haha).
As for low fat meals:
Tilapia and Salmon (Salmon is technically high in fat, but incredibly good for you)
LOTS O STEAMED VEGGIES
Brown Rice
Wheat Pasta
Spinach Salads0 -
Add me as a friend!! Alot of these people apparently have their heads crammed so far up their butts they cant think straight! I have lost 31lbs in 8wks....if you would like some of my suggestions just msg me. All together i am wanting to lose 40ish lbs.
wow...you STARVE yourself. i went back a few days and there is NO reason you should have thousand or even thousands of calories left for a day. and a fiber one brownie for lunch and one fiber one yogurt for breakfast! don't start a thread soon about plateauing...you will get torn apart. just sayin.0 -
how much is a stone? i am so confused...lol0

14 pounds, I believe0 -
Yikes... Cat food, really?:ohwell:0

Check out "Fat, Sick and Almost Dead" on Netflix. It is a fascinating documentary of one persons journey. Following his example, IMO, is your best bet. That said, that much weight in that short a time is not the healthiest way to go about it. Good luck.0
-
Exercise a lot, log your food and make it healthy stuff, don't go over your calories for the day. Don't expect unrealistic weight loss unless you're 100lbs overweight. I don't see how you could lose any faster and stay healthy. YOUR health is what's important. Your weight is a number, you however are NOT. Good luck to you!0

And before anybody starts, there is nothing wrong with PSMF when done proper or ketosis, which is different from ketoacidosis, and there is no risk to the kidneys, unless you already have bad kidneys, which means anything you do will be bad for them. The research has already been done and posted.0

Im not trying to be mean but this isnt healthy..on some days your eating less then 400 cals..your body needs more then what your eating to even work.
Not only that, you've also lost muscle. This will be detrimental to your health in the long run.0 -
PU_239, hmmm... So what is this magic trick that your 'group' is bound to secrecy by? Come on, spill. Chances are that unless it's a a rigorous program of healthy meals and excercise it's a pseudplan anyway.
Dont mind me. I just thought I'd join in the acrimony that's being tossed around the thread. Why do people turn into such smug know-it-alls once they start losing weight? If we were all such experts on weight loss we wouldn't be here in the first place would we?
Louise, it's not impossible to lose that much, but a tad ambitious. A stone may be a better goal. Eat 1200-1400 calories a day, lots of fruit and veg, pulses, fish and lean meat only. Couple that with an hour of cardio and 30 mins of strength training 6 days a week and you'll be on your way. I have a total of 4 stones to lose and I lost a stone a month for the first two months. It's slowed down now, but It shows that if you work hard at it, you'll be at least halfway there. Good luck.0 -

I just looked in your diary to see what your 'mystery' weight loss was....Maybe you should really look into getting some help because you would seem to be one step away from a very serious eating disorder if you keep this up (if you dont already currently have one). I am concerned for you....0 -
I would order the Pink Method...I swear by it!!!! You will lose weight and inches like never before!0

Seriously?
No offence, but you really should not encourage people to eat the way you do. You eat less than 700 calories most days, and what you eat is anything but healthy. If that is your choice of life, so be it but it is absolutely wrong to advertise this self destruction to others.
I was the same as you - ate less and less and ended up serverly underweight and absolutely miserable a few years back. Maybe my head is just to far up my butt though.
@ Louise - Sweety, you might reconsider your goal. You don't want to go through hell for something that is not even going to last (unless you want to end up either gaining it back or with an eating disorder ... or both). Go with 2lbs a week or so - I am sure as soon you as you dropped a few pound you will feel a lot better and you will look gorgeous in Spain 0 -
You've got to be kidding..........
"Directions on making the Lemonade Diet Recipe
Start by rolling a Lemon on the cutting board to get it nice and juicy. Cut the lemon along its belly and grind it on the juicer. Do this until you have juiced half your lemons, or until you have no more room in your juicer.
1. Measure 2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lemon Juice into your large cup.
2. Now measure and at 2 Tablespoons of Rich Maple Syrup to the cup.
3. Measure and add 1/10 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper to the cup (or more to taste).
4. Mix a and drink immediately.
MasterCleanse_10_dayskit
While on the Lemonade Diet, you can and should drink plenty of Pure Water. I drink 1 cup as a chaser after each cup of Lemonade. You can drink more throughout the day. Try to avoid drinking more than double the amount of Lemonade each day.
Drinking enough water helps to wash out the toxins being released out of our body during the cleanse. It also helps to prevent possible headaches as well as feeling of hunger or cravings that surface during the detox."

What an absolute load of twaddle, nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper?0 -

I don't think people should be concerned about the ketoacidois thing, that's an issue with diabetics. I am familiar with PSMF... It's a risky program for people who don't have experience, I have seen people develop binge episodes, destroy muscle mass, develop ED(eating disorders), and hair falling out.
i have seen people fail this program miserably. My calculations determined a 70% failure rate with it.
Agreed...and I do agree that the original poster should not go into ketosis without a well trained/studied individual such as myself(pats back) or someone they know. You need support and follow up and you'll also need to take directions and do what you're supposed to do. DO NOT think google is going to keep you in the right path. So yea, ignore my posts if you're not super serious. And yes, 4 lbs a week is crazy high for the best of trainees.0 -
This is that master cleanse crap! I lol every time I see it...0

Stick to lean proteins and all vegetables (no fruits). Drink plenty of water. Exercise like a fiend. Even then, you may not be able to make it. Make sure you eat at least 1000 calories a day. High fiber, high protein. Salad with chicken, salad with lean pork, salad with shrimp, etc. Mix it up a little with some cinnamon oatmeal made with skim milk. Stir-fry with limited oil. Most of the salad veggies also go well in stir fry, but as a warm meal instead of cold.
please ignore this "advice"....0 -
Loosing 28lb in two weeks isn't a healthy target - looking 14 lb is both achievable and much better for you - and likely to set you on a path where you can maintain your weight loss and ultimately maintain your goal weight.
In answer to your specific question - grilled or steamed fish (or any seafood in fact) is very healthy and low in calories. Game meat (Venison and rabbit especially) is also very lean but you need to slow cook it to make it tender - tastes great in a stew.
Other ideas: Tuna jacket potato (with low fat mayo), wholemeal pasta or brown rice (weigh it before you cook to get sensible calories) with chicken or prawns in a home made fat free salsa,
There was a great meal I saw on the forum for eggs with spinach baked in a muffin tray with the muffin case made of thin sliced ham. In fact, just go look at the recipe section - loads of ideas
Good luck0 -
PS - against my advice my cousin did the lemon juice diet and lost 10lb in 1 week
Then she gained 9lb the following week eating a calorie controlled balanced diet: so she lost 1lb in two weeks
She also had a really miserable time during the week she followed the diet as well as being demoralised by the whole thing.
FAD DIETS DON'T WORK! THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS0 -
So based on the responses I see, everyone here should hate the biggest loser and thus their ill-gained products as much as I do, and only watch it for it's entertainment/article writing motivation that it inspires????0
