Which fad diet are you on???

I like this one:
Breakfast: 3 ounces non-fat yogurt
Lunch: skim milk over 4 strawberries
Dinner: 5 almonds, 6 baby spinach leaves, 1/4 of a banana
Snack: I indulged and had one more strawberry
I've lost 200 lbs eating this way! See me at 300 lbs lost!
I doubt anyone will be seeing you at all.0 -

Finding balanced nutrition doesn't mean buying a program you saw advertised on late night television. Take the time to learn how many calories you need to achieve your goals and what foods you enjoy and allow you to be healthy. Diets are only torturous if you let them be. Take control. The sooner you realize this is a lifestyle change, the faster you'll be at peace with yourself and the faster you'll reach your goals.
can i steal this ^. This is exactly what i need to tell people tooooo0 -
haha! good story!
I got my first "hatin" comment from a co-worker last week. The lady saw me eating my steamed vegetables and said " How much do you want to loose TO BE HAPPY?" :grumble:
I said "I AM happy already. I'm eating better to control my health"
Then she said "Pretty soon you are going to start looking like vegetables, and fruit, and fish... [laugh laugh laugh] "
I kept quiet in the mouth but thought to myself that she must be jealous.... because she carries a butt and thighs the size of a semi truck :noway:
I know I will get more of those type of comments as I progress.
Some people just hate seeing others do better at anything :indifferent:0 -
Fad Diets usually last for a very short time. They leave you wanting something not on the diet and when you blow it you end up demoralized.
I just tell people that I have a 5 year plan. Eat healthy, keep within my macros, and exercise. What i don't tell people is that its a 5 year renewable plan for the rest of my life.0 -
I considered a few "magic pills" but after seeing "Take with balanced diet and exercise" on the label, I figured they were a rip-off. If I could do diet and exercise, why would I need your pill?
Then when "weird food" fads came around I just knew I would never stick to it. Or, if I miraculously did, then what? I cannot eat only grapefruit for the rest of my life!0 -
I receive a lot of negative comments from my co-workers because my lunch will consist of "healthy crap" as they like to call it. They give my grief for snacking on fruits, veggies or nuts throughout the day. I don't see anything wrong with eating clean, healthy food and not regret my meal afterwards. I have Gi problems so the better I eat, the less upset I feel.0

I tell people I'm on a move more, eat less diet.0
-
I get the same thing all the time.....the look on people's faces when I tell them I eat less, move more and lift heavy amazes me! AND to top it off....some will still try to tell me about what ever crap fad HCG diet they want to try. Come on people.....it ain't rocket science!0

This is so great - thanks for putting so perfectly what some of us are aiming for!
PS - I eat ice cream just about every night, my concession (due to diabeties) is it's low sugar, if I didn't have a health concern I'd eat the full blown stuff - gotta have it, just love it!!0 -
Totally agree. I have never understood the point in "diets".0
-
Oh but those puddings and shakes and detox pills/drinks whatever are so yummy... I'm trying to work in a little icecream myself today. Been missing it:)0
-
I agree, however, low carb is not a fad diet. It is a lifestyle change...just saying.
I think watching your carbs isn't a fad diet, but Atkins, paleo etc absolutely are. If it has a name, it's a fad.0 -
Great story, thanks! :happy:0
-
so is that you in your profile pic?
Better question is... is that you?
Yes. It is. Thanks.
That is freaking AWESOME!!! Seriously. You're amazing. Well, at least the section of you I can see is amazing. Well done!!!0 -

I LOVE THIS! Such a wonderfully straight to the point and well thought out statement.0 -
Saw another student-parent last week at a little function for our kids..
"How's the diet thing going?" (while looking me up and down disapprovingly)\
Me: "well, it's going better than yours I suppose" :happy:
Ugh.. and when people notice that you are eating right, they sure feel okay to criticize your meals. Um, I'm not telling you how your food court burrito is making you huge, please do not tell me to cut out this, or cut out that.0 -
Im on a diet I like to call "long distance running." I pretty much eat whatever I want and I run for upwards of 90 minutes at a time. So far, so good.0

Love this!! And love that you eat icecream almost everyday. My Hero :flowerforyou:0
