Spike Diet

I have been for several years now, obviously I love it. It has changed my life completely.

Whenever you think about food you shove a spike into something

10 years ago this summer I lost 100lbs by eating in caloric deficit 6 days a week, focusing on high protein and fiber foods. Then one a day a week I eat a caloric surplus of whatever i want, usually pizza, donuts and ice cream., my Spike Day. It works because for the week I'm in an overall deficit and my Spike Day gives me a mental break and spikes the important hormones.

Oh they call it that ? I was doing that for a year lost the 115 lbs in the first year doing that... I need to get back to it

That sounds awesome!

I've moved away from the word "diet" though. It became my lifestyle and it will always be. Since I can still pig out on junk every week and not only maintain my weight loss but I keep getting in better and better shape.

Spike the calories and spike the hormones!

I've been eating low cal [1200] and one cheat day for a few weeks now. I was doing some research and just realized that it's an actual diet! So I'm going to modify my eating for Spike to 1200 3 days with cardio, 1400 [BMR] 3 days with light strength and a rest day that I'll do my best to hit 2800. Because I can't do 500 under my BMR is it even worth it to alternate between 1400 and 1200, will my body even notice? I'm 23, 5' 5" 146lbs 26 percent body fat

Hmm, I thought the Spike Diet was something else entirely...

HAHAHHAHAHAHA YOU'RE TOO AWESOME.THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS TOPIC.

0.6 loss!!! Small loss but I've been at the same weight since February despite being in a low calorie diet

So you spiked and ate more, but then lost weight and broke a two month plateau? That's awesome, a long plateau while eating low calories means to me that your metabolism is running slow but this will help get it going again.

Good job!

This doesn't work at all. The reason you all lost weight doing this is because of the 6 days that you were eating correctly and healthily, not shocking your body with one day of huge caloric intake. This is not all the right way to do it.

It absolutely DOES work! That's all I have to say! :flowerforyou:

So basically an oddball I.F?

No

It's not too good to be true. It's just super awesome. If you don't think that dieting (caloric deficits) affects your metabolism and hormones then you are horribly mistaken. Dieting is also a struggle mentally when you feel like you have to avoid or deprive yourself of certain foods.

If it's simply a matter of eating less and exercising more as the mainstream would tell you, then why is the mainstream getting more and more overweight every year?

Fact is, I had a lifelong struggle with obesity and now because of Spiking I don't. No only did I lose over 100lbs 10 years ago, I am getting in better shape every year.

Spiking is just flat out fun to do and you lose weight, how many other diets out there have you heard described as fun? Since it is fun you are far less likely to quit or fall of the wagon which leads to consistency and a true lifestyle change.

it makes sense now.. this is your own plan that you're trying to sell. Awesome. Now I actually CAN report this as spam.

Well actually there's nothing for me to sell. The publisher filed bankruptcy last year and I am still working on getting rights back to my book. I've also given away hundreds of copies to my book and free advice to many many more. I am here to help who ever wants my help. I feel like i was given a gift but this is a gift that I am suppose to share. Honestly, how many do you know that grew up overweight and then were able to lose over 100lbs and keep it off for 10 years? Not only keep it off but consistently improve their physique. Then to do this while splurging on pizza, donuts, ice cream, and a lot of other junk foods on a weekly basis?

I'm sorry you feel this way, but my posts, messages, and intent are to help people who want it. I don't push them to buy anything, you can ask those who message me.

Plenty. Eating less during the week and then more on the weekends isn't a new idea. Sorry bout your book, though.

It's not, I know. I had known about cheat days for a long time but I was always afraid to do it. I also had the mind-set that foods like pizza and ice cream make us fat. When I first tried a Spike Day, it wasn't to help me lose weight, it was simply because I could no longer deal with my food cravings. Then when I lost a 3 pounds and broke through a plateau a few days later, I knew it had to do with that day because that was the only thing that changed from the previous 4 weeks. Then I went on to do this and lost 100lbs in 11 months.

When I talk to people today, many of them fear having a Spike Day just like I did. My book is showing you why it helps you lose weight and how you can eat anything you want and still get fit.

The book is more than just about Spiking, I didn't just simply lose 100lbs, I also built muscle and got pretty ripped in the process.
