One stone is 6.35 kg or 14 lbs ... way too fast to lose in 1 week.

I really don't think a stone can be lost in a week but a good kickstart if continue to eat clean afterwards. Thanks for your input though

Well I WOULD like a kick start and YES I do need to eat clean unless I wanna take a load of medication. But I guess as you know nothing about me you wouldn't know that.

Not nearly enough protein, which you need to maintain muscle. Don't "kickstart" anything, just add more whole foods into your diet - protein, fats, and fiber.

You need to get in good eating habits and a better attitude to food and eating. The support people can give you, will only take you so far - you are the one who has to stop using food to ease emotions.

One obvious step would be to challenge the idea that you're a "little piggy" (even if it's said in jest or meant to be "cute", it does something to you"). Also drop "eating clean" - it's vague even though it's restrictive, and it creates the presumption that not eating like that, is somehow dirty, or even worse: unclean.

General advice is to not go on a diet. Specific advice in this case, is don't go on stupid super restrictive starvation diet. No diet that you can stick to for only seven days will have any positive impact, neither while you're on it - you will just become hungry, hangry and tired - and in the long run, it has detrimental effects: You will overeat, more than you did before. Kickstart is not a thing when it comes to weightloss - most people get an initial water weight drop, and that can be motivating, but it can also set unreasonable expectations for future rate of loss.

Healthy weightloss is slow. A healthy diet is balanced and varied. A healthy lifestyle is easy and feels good.

I try to stay well away from any diet that needs to be done for X days. They also tend to not be representable of the way I like to eat, so these diets don't feel like they teach me anything about food and weight management.

The writer sounds like they have zero success with losing and maintaining weight, why would you follow their advice?

I have an autoimmune disease. Diagnosed 14 years ago eat a diet that is helping me heal. A year later, I am still doing it. It's work, just like moving forward with a career. You can't jumpstart and expect to become president of a company faster. Do too much too soon, you will become tired, moody, and sick. Worse, you will punish yourself for "failing". This happens in all aspects of life - you will end up worse off than when you started.

Make slow, sustainable changes. Eat a well balanced diet, get adequate sleep, and manage stress. I can't emphasize enough how necessary these three things are.

Hoping for a bacon diet.

OP since you think you need some sort of kick starting.. good luck with this. It says 'crash dieting at its best' and the rules are horrible, Why do this to yourself, even for one week?

Lady_Avery · November 2017

Ok I really appreciate the advice everyone thank you ❤️

You can kickstart right this minute by changing your thinking. Tell yourself that you are going to commit to the time it takes to lose weight.

You need a calorie deficit monitored with a food diary where everything is always counted, and time for it to work. Few want to put in the time.

If you were standing at the bottom of a hill, and needed to get to the top of the hill, would you just start up the straight path to the top, or would you take a detour up a much steeper, more treacherous, harder path, which was only going to join up with the nice straight path long before you get to the top anyway?

Coz that's what a "kickstart" is. It's yet another obstacle on the way to getting into a pattern and habit that will lead you to long lasting success.
