You said you wanted to lose 15 lbs. You described an overly restrictive, VLCD, and said "let's see if I can keep this up 2 weeks". My conclusion was that you were aiming to lose the weight in that time period.
No I meant if I can keep eating like this for 2 weeks then maybe then I can get used to eating like this. Any other questions?
Yes. Are you a nurse?
Not a relevant question1 -

Why would you want to? Why do you think that is a good idea?
Also this ^
I wasn't looking for a personal trainer or a job or approval fyi0 -

I don't get a response? You asked if there were any other questions and I'm genuinely interested.0 -

To be honest, it isn't clear what you are looking for. Your post simply says "HELP".
Look, you seem to be under a lot of common misconceptions that you must make drastic changes to your diet in order to achieve your goals. You can eat any of the foods you love, and lose weight. You don't have to cut red meat or white carbs or orange skittles. With only 15 lbs to lose, enter your stats, set a goal of losing 0.5 lbs/week and MFP will provide you a calorie target. Aim to eat a variety of foods you enjoy that also provide macro/micro nutrients and satiety. If you exercise, log and eat some of those calories back. In fact, strength training may be something to consider since you seem most concerned about body aesthetic.
You don't need to be overly restrictive and weight loss shouldn't be about white knuckling it for 2 weeks to see if you can keep it up. It should be a sustainable process that teaches you life long healthy habits.5 -
I have a pretty good idea of what will happen if you continue trying to eat like this. You will go bat-crap crazy and eat all the foodz, and then feel like a failure because you couldn't stick to something that wasn't realistic in the first place. What people are telling you is that you can get to your goal weight, and enjoy the process while learning new habits to help you keep that weight.6

Hot sauce; it covers the bland with heat.0

Op does red meat really cause cancer I am alarmed now, need to rethink
You are making the right choices if that's the case
Keep at it and good luck
P.s are you using the lemon water to cook the rice0 -
Red meat causes cancer? What? I've never seen this mentioned in any reputable source. It sounds like something Dr Oz would fart out.
OP...you don't have to go crazy low with calories. Set mfp to lose half a pound per week. You can still eat at those restaurants that you enjoy, just choose foods that fit your calorie goal. Most restaurants have nutrition information listed on their websites. Pre-plan your day ahead and stick to it. Don't jump into crazy restrictive awful diets...just eat your calories.
No need to cut out foods, no need to eat bland crap. Food is food is food. Just eat it.

Please post the scientific study you read that indicated this, including the amount that one would need to eat in order to be at a higher risk of cancer.
You need to lose 15lbs? That can be done eating a variety of foods including red meat, Korean BBQ, apple pie and ice cream, in moderation. It can't be done in 2 weeks time though. That is not a realistic expectation. What happens in 2 weeks?
I believe her thread title was indicating she was on Day 2 when she posted this.
