    Rule #7 and rule #18 are complete bull crap.

    all the others are 'meh'

    There's no way I am giving up my artificial sweetners. I am a sweet fiend.

    Most of them seem good except for the going to bed hungry one. I don't like that one at all. I know some people don't eat after 8pm because the junk food tends to come out for those people, but there are plenty of healthy things you can have that will also help you sleep with a contented tummy.

    **** the rules.

    This is all just a bunch of nonsense that distracts from the only fundamental requirement which is: calories in < calories out

    I actually find not eating carbs makes me grouchy.

    Rule #2: Don't drink your calories.

    ..... Question, uhmm.. Does that include smoothies and juices you make at home? I just made myself a smoothie with strawberry yogurt, water, a banana and a handful of spinach.
    So, I'm not supposed to drink those now?
    I think it depends if you feel full afterwards. Apparently when you chew your brain knows you're eating and to be full, therefore it's better to eat an orange than drink one.

    A few of these I agree with- but not too many. Then again my goal isn't to be "skinny."

    Edit to add nice of someone who makes his living off the diet industry to come up with a bunch of ridiculous rules nobody could follow for very long.

    You don't need the vast majority of Bob's "rules". I agree with/practice maybe 4 of those things--the rest I'm either totally against or I find to be nonsensical.

    Rule #2 : Don't Drink Your Calories

    Well, there goes my milk, honey, protein shakes.
    Rule #7 : No Carbs After Lunch
    Why?
    Rule #10 : No More Added Sweeteners, Including Artificial Ones
    Why?
    Rule #11 : Get Rid of Those White Potatoes
    Why?
    Rule #12: Make One Day a Week Meatless
    Why? You don't want me eating carbs after lunch. Would you like me to stay hungry or just eat chunks of fat?
    Rule #13 : Get Rid of Fast Foods and Frieds Foods
    This is ridiculous, who came up with this?
    Rule #14 : Eat a Real Breakfast
    Whats a fake breakfast?
    Rule #15 : Make Your Own Food and Eat at Least Ten Meals a Week at Home
    Eat at home or out, doesn't really matter. Your calories and your macros matter. Eat them anyway you wish
    Rule #18 : Go to Bed Hungry
    WTF? I live in Asia and in poor countries but I am well off. I don't need to sleep hungry.

    These are good rules. No one could argue with them. But probably someone will! :smokin:

    See above!

    Sorry but my parents taught me to question things that don't makes sense and never to follow somebody blindly.

    I'm not too bothered about the cheat meal, but a veggie curry is one I can use, or a creamy cheese sauce on a chicken fillet or beef steak, however, my favourite cheat is a small bar of choc; or a small bag of crisps ( chips), on days where I have exercised a bit more than usual ...hope this helps xxx
