no carbs before marbs

I always lose my marbles anyway when I eat no carbs, so I just don't get to eat much of anything on this diet...so yah for calorie restriction.

It may be a dumb question, but what are marbs?

'Marbs' is Marbella. A popular European holiday destination for the pretentious perma-tanned fur coat no knickers end of society.

I assume this is a pointlessly restrictive 'get your body beach ready' type of 'diet'.

As I am currently enjoying pizza, I'm going to go ahead and say no... no I am not participating.

Also... Carbs are your friend....not your enemy. Why nix carbs?

(ETA: granted if you have a medical condition where carbs could potentially screw up yo bidnuz, you might want to ignore me...)

OP, since your diary is not open, and I'm not sure what the exact version of this diet is that you are following (so I can't really comment on the diet itself), if you are intent on eliminating sweets from your diet for a time, I would suggest focusing on nutrient-dense foods and focusing on protein, fat, and fiber, as those may help you to feel more full and limit cravings, and staying within a reasonable calorie deficit. I don't think anyone can give you more specific advice tailored to your situation without knowing your stats and having an idea of the exact plan you are following.

This appears to be some kind of short term diet plan to prepare for a trip to Marbella, which seems to have been coined from some British reality TV show. I'm not sure if this is the exact plan the OP follows, but it includes some questionable claims, although the one about turning you into Daniel Craig is probably solid:

Remind me to not go to Blackpool. It's also interesting that they claim their program is great for last minute losses, but you're going to feel horrible for doing it.

I'm not a fan of crash dieting right before anything, mostly because if you do run yourself ragged, you're not going to enjoy whatever you're crashing for (wedding, vacation, etc). Personally, I'd suggest picking a way of eating that allows you to stick to a moderate calorie deficit (whatever that may be for you as it is highly personal), add in some moderate cardio, do resistance training to help preserve muscle mass, and start making a list of things you'll need on your vacation. I always manage to leave something at home...

32 hours? You are actually counting the hours, lol? The name is cool though...

Totally bonkers that is...Im off to Marbs next Monday for my honeymoon as I get married next Saturday and I certainly havent and wont be doing this diet plan! Theres only one reason I might reduce carbs a little bit this and thats just because I tend to get bloated the more carbs I eat so I try and alternate my days by one day eating all my carbs and one day increasing my protein which automatically reduces my carbs..I love carbs I do...I work out everyday (except weekend) so feel I need them...
