That's your opinion, love. If someone says they've only been eating 700-1000 calories a day, my first question would be "why" and "what did you eat?" I never said brown rice has magic properties. However, the fiber can be very good for you your digestive system. You seem to be very angry over something you don't really…

Ignorant? Like the way you are judging now? If i didn't mention how i lost the weight, that would have been the first question. And how can people dismiss the claim that my skin looks better, i feel better? How can you dispute that? Thanks for playing now run along!

Careful there - you're talking a bit too much sense for this thread.

To everyone that is thinking of contributing to this thread... Hi, thanks for coming. But unless you can give me advice with MY ACTUAL QUESTION IN THE FIRST POST, please don't bother and go to the chit chat section and talk about who you would marry, date, kill or whatever. Thanks.

Either that or are looking for a fight. You've quoted the bloody reason as to why rice, then you ask again? Do a broccoli cleanse. Do a kitchen sponge cleanse, i don't care. I did a brown rice cleanse because of the reasons stated above. But that isn't the point of the thread now, is it? But i guess we don't want to talk…

Hi, welcome. Thanks for reading the whole thread. Oh, wait a minute. No you didn't or your question would have already been answered. ● The complex carbohydrates from brown rice, metabolise and deliver energy giving sugars slowly. This the difference between fruits who have simple sugars. These metabolise fast, and…

Thank you mate!

I don't believe everyone should do a cleanse. I believe that i did one and my skin looks great. Rigger asked me the benefits of cleanse, i posted them. Someone else asked me why brown rice, i posted that too. Sure, i knew i would lose some weight eating low cal, but i didn't expect to be eating SO low. You were supposed to…

I didn't, i asked how will my body react after eating low calorie for 10 days.

WTF iS wrong with you? I'm not spouting propaganda. i'm not putting up any links. READ ALL THE POSTS. I said i've done it, i liked the results, but i won't be doing it again anytime soon. People are basically telling me i'm stupid so i posted up the benefits as i was told them before hand, and what i've seen since. Don't…

Yes, i have. And i try to follow IIFYM (if it fits your macros) as closely as i can. I just decided to try something new with people that i like and trust. And i'm not promoting anything. I'm not telling people that they should do it, and initially i wasn't even going to post about the cleanse as i thought this thread…

Well Lucas, i guess we're at an impasse. I was skeptical at first as i like to do yoga more for the physical aspects than the mental, but i tried it and after 10 days i feel great. Clear skin, better digestion, don't fancy alcohol or sweets and i'm in a better mood and i put that down to the cleanse. You can't dispute that…

um eating all rice sounds way more like a fad than south beach where you can eat several types of food Except without all the benefits of a cleanse and it only lasts 10 days. Apart from that, yeah, i guess it's a fad. As for my original question, any advice or do you just fancy a bit of a gossip?

It's not selling me anything. It's not like i'm claiming there's a god or people should follow a religion. relax. My yoga group suggested it, i thought i would try it. So far, i've had results that i wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. And you're right, you can't get the same results eating other foods because the whole point…

Well, that's your opinion. I'm sure you'll find someone who will criticize and not believe in EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE. Do you eat meat? There's people that say you shouldn't eat meat. Don't eat meat? People say you should eat meat. You say broccoli will do the same? Other people will say the opposite. I've given you the…

You won't hit your macros. Did you read my reply as to why cleanse with brown rice or are you just choosing to ignore it?

No, i'm not 100% sure as it's all estimates. I just know that i ate when i felt hungry to 80% full. I ate way more rice at the start then i did towards the end, but i just tried to estimate how much rice i had and divided it by ten.

Why brown rice? Brown rice great for this cleanse due to a number of reasons: ● It is high in fibre ● Excellent for cleansing the colon ● Acts like a pipe cleaner in your intestine, grabbing nasty toxins, pollutants, chemicals and pesticides. ● It's a gentler method of fasting / cleansing. It's soothing, more stabilising…

Perfect, thanks. Like i say, it wasn't undertaken for weight loss but i'm not going to complain about it.

Fair enough, that's all i wanted to know really. Thanks.

A lot of you may see that as voodoo, but i don't care. I'm open for trying all manner of things and seeing what works for me. What i do know is that my skin looks great and i feel great. I just wanted some advice about returning to my normal eating methods and wanted to know what to expect from my body as i do so.

Rigger, if you're genuinely interested, here is the info. Might i add, i would NEVER do this for longer than 10 days. People seem to be getting confused thinking that i do this all the time. i don't. I'm generally a fat git who thought the opportunity to cleanse my system from all the food and booze i drink sounded like a…

Not necessarily because other foods don't have the properties that brown rice does. And thanks for helping to answer my question rather than make judgements.

Yes, it was organic. And I think you're getting confused by diet. When I say diet, I mean the food I eat, not fad diets like south beach, etc.

I feel people arent really understanding me. THIS WAS NOT A DIET, IT WAS A CLEANSE! I was never hungry during the 10 days and it was only a 10 day thing. They say to rest during a cleanse but I carried on lifting and doing hiit which is what much have caused the extreme weight loss.

I didn't really want to get into the rights and wrongs of a cleanse, some people think its madness, others live their lives by it. I'm just after info about how the body reacts after something like this, weight gain wise. I'd be interested to here what damage you think has been done after 10 days?

got it...

This is my before and during... And this was me on Sunday.... Still have a long way to go, but if i didn't know me, i would, haha!

Always up for people to comment on what i'm doing and give me a kick up the *kitten*!!

Thanks a lot for your advice! So to get the gist, 170g protein, 65g fats and whatever calories remain should on carbs. On days i work out, log my exercise and with my extra calories I can eat some extra carbs. Got it. Yeah, i have been a bit sketchy with logging, especially when i have to move around from job to job with…
