in Introduce Yourself
Hi there - I am new here. I just bought Jumpstart to Skinny (Bob Harper) over the weekend... started on Monday and I am already down 5.6 lbs. I am finding it fairly easily to do - the less junk I eat, the less junk I want to eat. Would anyone like to join me? I plan to do this for 3 weeks and hope to lose 20 lbs... just as a springboard for more weight loss. :)

    Basically - you eat 800 calories a day - plus all the veggies you want. No complex carbs after breakfast. Walk/run at least 45 minutes a day and do about 25 minutes of a high intensity workout 5 times a week. This is meant to be a short term plan - not to be done as a long term diet. I have a vacation in 3 weeks and just thought I would try to lose as much as I can by then - in a healthy way. You're supposed to be able to lose up to 20 lbs in 21 days. So far, I feel great - not hungry at all. I love all kinds of vegetables and have a massive garden this year - so that really helps. ;)

    That sounds...unhealthy. What does your daily caloric intake look like with the veggies added on? It is not recommended for an average person to go below 1300 calories/day as far as I know. Losing 20lbs in 21 days is not healthy or sustainable.

    What's the rush? 800 calories is way to low. Are you eating back your exercise calories?

    **Edit: I see this is an older thread. nevermind
