1 Pound a DAY

week 3 and if water weight is still coming off something is wrong don't you think. And I think my doctor would know all tht. Everybody is different he tried various things with me and now he found a plan that works. This is only til Dec. He didn't say FOR EVER...(in sand lot voice) hehehe

Why did you ask in the first place? You are refuting what people are saying.

I've noticed that when I was eating less than 1000calories and doing 40min cardio kickboxing, I've got same results. The main point is just to stay that way and the body might adjust itself - it wouldn't be like that forever, but it will stay on the best weight. Good luck!

Water weight is very likely part of your loss to date. There is no doubt you'll lose weight netting 600 calories a day and no one is disputing that. Please just be careful as it is very low. Have you considered 5:2 then maybe you could eat 600 a day but no more than 2 non consecutive days per week.

Good luck.

I don't think she's netting 600 a day. She's EATING 600 a day PLUS walking a few hours. Yikes! :noway:

The fast track is what people want these days. Surveys show that many females will do whatever it takes to protect their family and loved ones from health harming programs (drugs, smoking, etc) but will put their own health at risk to lose 20lbs. with crazy diet plans and programs.
If one is morbidly obese, I can see these plans as being acceptable, but for the overweight person, it's just gonna be a passing fad.

Sry you hold not the degree my doctor holds. And me being under his supervision I've been weighed each day so consider tht confirmed.

Sounds like a quack like Dr Oz. Find a new doc that actually CARES about your health and welfare. Just because he is a doctor does not mean he has your health and welfare in mind. There are quite a few bozo docs out there. Besides, they have very little nutrition under their belt when they tell you to do these things. Talk to a nutritionist, not that quack!

Im not even sure what I just read. This gives me the sads.

Wow, thread gold right here...can this be stickied as an all encompassing example of how NOT to use MFP message boards.

1) don't post weight loss in the maintenance thread.
2) don't post about VLCD.
3) the quote button is there for a reason, use it.
4) if you are justified by a Dr. for your VLCD make all details known in the OP and possibly say "it's not for everyone" or something.
5) if you are posting a VLCD use your complete and long term weight loss goal instead of a "mini-goal" so no one gets confused you are some slender woman who's Dr. condones VLCD.
6) please include details of the type of Dr. the type of practice and the nature of his work with you.
7) if you're actually so overweight as to cause all those problems you mentioned maybe don't use an avatar that might mislead people to beleive your skinny exactly as you post that you are eating a VLCD with a Dr's consent.

Sry you hold not the degree my doctor holds. And me being under his supervision I've been weighed each day so consider tht confirmed.

You confused everyone by asking a question. Seems like you have all the answers, so what are you asking?

Awesome. When you start eating normally again and gain all the weight back, maybe you'll try it the right way.

It is hard to eat alot of calories when it comes to only fruits and veggies. I've had that problem. I've eaten a huge veggie salad and it wasn't even 100 calories but I was bursting. I get your point. I eat beans and rice to get in my protein. Sure is yummy stuff.
