Hi
I've started a diet that I actually invented since the beginning of October and I need another opinion to help me.

So, I am a 6 ft (182 cm) , 88 kg and I need to drop like at least 10 kg before christmas and I've already tried a bunch of diets but either they were so hard that I wasn't able to go on with them or they had no results so I read and read until I came up with this diet
My daily intake is just as follows:
Breakfast:
3 eggs (two whites and one whole ) omelette with one slice of luncheon and one small green pepper, also I usually have a couple of cucumbers.

Lunch:
1 can of tuna (no oil)

And for dinner and the in between snacks:
Usually between 2-4 medium apples
May be a can of diet coke sometime

Exercise:
I don't have much time really but I do go to and from college everyday walking which is about 45 minutes in total (5 days a week)

Tell me if this is a good diet that will actually help me lose the 10 kg before Christmas. And also can I have a free day where I can like have a stupid meal (pizza or something like that) or will that ruin the whole process?

Thanks for your support. Really appreciate it.

    2 egg whites, an egg, luncheon meat, veges, can of tuna and 2 to 4 apples? That is it?

    No it isn't a good diet, it will leave you feeling quite hungry and your body will not be getting the nutrition it needs.

    You need to eat more calories than that, set your MFP profile and check your daily calorie allowance for weight loss.

    You can have pizza every day if it fits into your calorie goal!
    You are eating way too few calories for a man of your height and weight!!!
    This is neither healthy, nor sustainable diet!
    Don't put a time limit on yourself!
    Find your appropriate calorie goal, stick to it-lose weight a pound a week.

    Do you honestly think you can go on with this one?

    Eat normal food. Measure your food and log it. Figure out how much your normally eat, then cut that by 500 calories. Much better than crash dieting.

    Do the calories in your diet cover your TDEE or even your BMR?

    Just eat normally in a calorie deficit.

    10kg is a lot to lose in 12 week, especially when 88kg for a 6ft male is quite a healthy weight.

    Try and find some more time in your day for exercise, that will burn off more calories. Maybe make your journey home from college a run?

    But that diet doesn't sound good.

    I personally would scrub it and got for one that gives you a variety of food, thus a variety of micro nutrients.

    Good luck.

    The reason you couldn't continue in the past is because you're barely eating! Your body needs food... it's the fuel your body needs to live.

    Please put your stats into mfp and choose to lose 0.5 kg/wk. That is a safe amount to lose slowly without killing your body by starving. Do not be afraid to eat the amount of calories given to you. You can eat the foods you like as long as they fit into your allotted calories and you WILL lose weight.

    No. There is all sorts of wrong with this so-called diet.

    No 22-year old male should be eating that little. For that matter, no 6-year old girl should be eating that little. You're taking in less than 1000 calories a day, not even enough to support the basic functions of your body (organs, brains, circulatory system, etc.). This diet you've "invented" is a disaster and a horrible idea. You're a grown man. Start eating like one instead of trying to exist on less food than a child should have.

    Did you leave out your dinner by mistake, or are you planning to skip dinner, or is dinner those apples you have for snacks?

    What happens to those two yolks? Why no oil tuna?

    If this is it, well it's stupider than any pizza, to be honest. Undereating is a certain way to ruin the process of weight loss.

    Eat more. You said you couldn't stick to hard diets. What do you think makes a diet hard?

    Sorry for all the questions, but only you have the answers.
