I'm confused. You basically want to eat only 1500 calories of French fries and beer? I suppose you'll lose weight that way, but your body composition will most likely suck and you'll feel crappy.0
-
it's a good way to lose weight unhealthily and increase the fat, I guess? A day or two like that and my skin, hair, digestive system, metabolism and sobriety would suffer noticeable.0
-
sure, do it0
-
I mean, you will have a calorie deficit, but you'll probably have a nutrient and general health deficit too...0
-
You CAN do it... but you will probably find that if you keep it up long term, your nutrition will suffer. There's no harm in including french fries and beer in your diet (I do it!), but I wouldn't make them the majority of your diet, because your body needs more macro and micro-nutrients than french fries and beer can offer you. I say, try to eat a more balanced diet and make a little room for the french fries and beer.0

Sounds like an airtight, solid plan. There is no possible way you can go wrong with it. :noway:0
-
Why wouldn't you just round up to 10 beers a day and scale back on the fries? Time to step up your game if you want to really see an improvement.0
-
Besides feeling like crap, you will also be really hungry.0
-
Thats what I say too... who needs food anyway.. 10 beers and take one a day vitamins.. thats the ticket... thanks pal...0

Drop to 1200 and supersize on fries fella!0

Beer and French Fries. The BFF diet!
Hey, BFF IIFYM!0 -
Very unhealthy, routine consumption of alcohol and non-nutritive foods lead to diseases such as: anemia, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and cirrhosis, anemia, dementia, depression, seizures, gout, high blood pressure, infectious diseases, Vitamin deficiency, nerve damage (including but not limited to erectile dysfunction), pancreatitis, and brain damage. I suggest talking to your doctor about treatment for alcoholism. No one can survive well on french fries and beer, no matter how many calories they consume. Please, talk to someone about this.0

Okay; If you are gonna do this; at least be reasonable... Steak, beer and french fries. Just steak and beer... 2lbs of steak and fill up all carbs with beer.0

LOL in for the amusing comments.

Yeah, this.
Maybe get some exercise each day that will allow you to have 1-3 beers? Not every single day. But a couple of times a week.
And eat french fries a couple of times a week, too, but along with something like salad, roasted vegetables, chicken breast, fish, etc..
I think that sort of moderate approach will probably satisfy you the most without sacrificing your health, energy, etc.0 -
I can almost guarantee that you will binge at night after your beers. You'll still be starving and your self control will be nil.
Besides, even if you could stick with it, you'd lose a bunch of muscle and get skinny fat and bloated. Not a good look.
Plus your liver would be very sad.0 -
Vodka has fewer calories than beer. If you switch to shots you could eat more french fries and maybe occasionally still have room left to splurge on a few bites of a burger.0
-
I think you should just switch to beer batter fries and simplify...I have finally sworn off triple cheeseburgers for the time being, however can I eat what I want to as long as i stay under 1500 calories a day, I mean french fries small for lunch and dinner but still havng my 5 beers, I do this every couple of days while working the weekends are harder I may just have french fries for lunch and 6-7 beers for dinner, is this possible as long as it under 1500 cals a day...0 -
in some strange way i find this post extremely refreshing
Yes OP you CAN do it, but over time your health will suffer, unfortunately ;( 0 -

Skip the fries to make room for more beer
Or better yet, trade a few beers for tequila shots! If you count the lime you're getting fruit too :drinker:0 -
If this is a serious post, as well as your previous posts about your craving for triple cheeseburgers, then I would say you have a big problem with self control and possibly addiction.
As for the food addiction and cravings, it sounds like you are used to eating a lot more than 1500. You might want to start with a smaller deficit in the beginning so you dont have the strong urge to binge, I would also suggest looking into counseling.0 -
This all depends on what type of beer you're drinking.0
-
this sounds like a great idea....:drinker:

Bang in some extreme exercise and you may be able to get to 15 beers a day and achieve a calorie defecit.0

I drink beer pretty much everyday but most the times I'm under my goal (1320). I just have to make a choice... do I want to have one or two beers, and have some good stuff to eat too, or do I want to fill up my calories with beer and liquor and not eat much else? It seems like an obvious answer, and I don't drink like I use to, but I also know that if I had to give up drinking completely to lose weight I would have a really hard time sticking with it. I just tell myself not to drink until around dinner time. Try filling yourself up with chicken or salmon, maybe lean steak. Then have a few beers, and drink water, lots of it, throughout the day before having dinner and alcohol. I'm still working on the water part myself!
One of the things I had to rule out was NO FAST FOOD. I mean, there are special occasions but I haven't had any yet and I avoid those places like the plaque, even though before MFP I was going practically everyday. Letting go of fast food hurts, but when you realize that there are a lot of other good foods out there, and at the grocery, to your home, then you'll find you don't really miss it after all. However, yesterday I was driving and trying to come up with an excuse to go to Wendy's or KFC, but I thought of MFP and all my friends and said, you know what, plenty of good stuff at home, don't want to let myself or anyone else down. It's taken some determination but I've done it and will continue!0 -

This is the type of initiative I like to see in these threads!

I dont think that wanting beer and fries means he needs counseling. I want BK everytime I pass by ... doesnt mean i will stop but I still want it ... changing your lifestyle is hard ... it comes with cravings and challenges. I think we all have them. Food is created for us to crave. 0 -

Does a drunken stumble through someone's backyard before passing out into their pool count towards running and swimming cardio?0 -

This made me smile. You have calorie in/calories out down to a tee. A calorie deficit is all it takes to lose weight.
That said, nutrition is very important to overall health. I suggest you cut some of those beers out and add some protein, vegetables, and fruits to your french fry dinner. 0
