    So is the spinach supposed to negate any calories I eat after eating the spinach?

    I'm guessing:

    1) The amount of volume you eat (3 cups of spinach is a lot by anyone's standards) means you end up eating less overall afterwards
    2) The spinach is very low calorie and coupled with 1 means less overall calories
    3) You get bored of eating by the time you get through eating the spinach and again coupled with 1 & 2 means less overall calories
    4) The idea of having to eat 3 cups of spinach at every meal means you end up avoiding eating altogether as much as possible

    I took his question as a joke because I am sure he might know how much volume 3 cups of spinach is.

    Makes perfect sense...

    LOL! Yes, it was a joke. Just like eating three cups of spinach before every meal...

    I love spinach. Especially the canned cooked stuff. Yummy slimy goodness!

    You're probably right but when you've seen people, with a straight face, recommend eating baby food or even pet food as a dieting strategy (which I have seen over the years in different places) you never eliminate the possibility the person is serious...

    I must including myself in this. We( maybe not you) have done some pretty outrageous things for weight loss.

    My very first attempt was I ate one footlong sub from subway everyday. I lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks. That didn't last too long after the 5 weeks.

    3 cups of spinach at every meal would probably give me enough iron to make me very sick after a while. No thanks, lol.

    I love spinach. I make spinach-protein smoothies for breakfast where i take 170g (~6cups) of spinach, scoop of chocolate protein powder, and water and blend them in my BlendTec. Sometimes I add berries. It's delicious and usually keeps me from being hungry the first half of the day.

    I feel a bit queasy at the thought of eating that much spinach, so it's working for me and I didn't even have to try it. Good work OP.

    Except I ate a Cobb salad with 4 cups of spinach just last night. I'm not clear on whether this negates the blue cheese dressing or if I had to eat the spinach first and then drink the dressing.

    Oh, I've done plenty of dumb things when dieting, believe me...

    The things that eluded me were consistency and patience. Once I had those down it was surprisingly simple to do.
