In 1 week I lost 13 lbs

Well how you ask?

Well two things, I recently came across the paleolithic diet which peaked my interest however considering I'm broker than a meth addict who just bought allot of meth I'm not going to be able to fully implment it for a while.

But the crux of it is to take out allot of the grains (Rice, Corn, Wheat) which I have tried to do and have been pretty succeful. I get my bread in early in the morning. The only draw back to this is no pasta ~:(

I have also tried to cut as much HFCS out of my diet as possible, for two reasons. 1. I don't like the midwest, anyone who is that bland probably has a terrible seceret. and 2. It's just empty Cals.

However, it's in EVERYTHING here but I have managed to cut allot of it out

I have drank nothing but water for the past week and feel allot better, I used to be a soda addict (I know, I know) and in just a week I can already seen and feel the difference.

I can only imagine what the results would've been had I gotten more than two decent workouts in

Edit: I meant to put this in the frontroom but since I just character assassinated ten states and the backbone of American agriculture, we may as well just keep it here

You should be able to get Dr. Pepper with no HFCS, they should make it at the Waco plant. Look for "Heritage Dr. Pepper", it's available in lots of states. Sucrose FTW!

Dublin Texas baby! but I really dont think I'll ever touch a soda again, srsly

Get a diet soda, no calories compared to a regular which has like around 33 to 100 per can.

I've never trusted any diet that cuts out the most relied-upon staple food in the history of humanity, but getting rid of high fructose corn syrup is probably the best thing anyone can do. That crap is BAD for you. And drinking water goes without saying.

Conventional wisdom dictates that it is very unhealthy to lose that much weight in one week, but I trust your extensive knowledge on these things. Thought you were lifting, though...?

There are two ways to address it. You can either cut the calories, as your body is not using though, thus they get stored as fat, or you can do more exercise which burns the calories.

For example, if you are not active, and by "not active" is basically you don't go out of your way to do any activity, a simple diet of cutting your calorie intake to 1000 is usually a good start.

Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but it is impossible to lose that much (5-7kg if I'm not mistaken) in a week. Most of that was water.

1000 calories a day is way too little and extremely unhealthy. Try 2000, possibly 2500 depending on your activity. Also it's not just the amount of calories, it's also about the type.

It isn't unhealthy, it depends on your metabolism and your activity. If you have a high metabolism, you wouldn't even need to check, pretty much the same if you are active. If your job is at a desk all day, drive in a car, sit infront of tv/computer, you are not very active, would probably do the body well.

Obviously, you could do more exercise... so it is either less food or more activity and being honest, eating less is easier to do that actually being active.

The 2500 "average male" thing is a lie, by "average male" it doesn't actually mean average male, it actually means "you are fully active, 5-a-day, high fibre, completely fit and in health male". The average male doesn't even tick half those boxes. Only reason to have high calories is if you have a high metabolism or very active thus uses them up.

It is also amazing how metabolism affects everything and you don't have to be active either to have it. Such as "that person who can eat like a horse, never active, but is completely skinny" for example.

During a decent intensity, 45 minute weight training you'll lose 400-500 calories. Half an hour of jogging, again depending on the intensity and terrain, 250-350. Calories are easily lost, even by walking. The only way you'd need less than 2000 calories a day is if you're a type of guy who gets up in the morning, walks to his car, drives himself to work, sits all day, drives himself back home and sits in front of TV, goes to sleep and does it all over again, but even with that lifestyle, I'd say 1000 calories is too little.

If you're average type of guy, who every once in a while walks somewhere, or cycles or plays footy, goes swimming... you need more than 1000 definitely.

But Sarmatian nailed it: consisting for about 80% of water, Strike has basically sweat himself down to size and cut his sugar reserves a bit; and in so doing made himself a bit less edible to potential predators (levels of toxins in your blood will be up). Fat comes later, if at all.

Humans have fat? ~:confused:


That's only possible if one refuses to eat enough food. Actual food, that is.

Teh simple principles for a healthy diet:
- There is no such thing as a diet. There is only a wonderous world full of fantastic foods of which you need to experience as much as possible. Stop worrying whether you eat too much food, or too unhealthy food. Rather, strive every day to get in as many great flavours as possible. Live to eat.
- You need to stop believing that humans are meant to eat out of buckets, like horses. *eyes the yanks*
- If it lives in your backyard, it is fit for human consumption. *eyes snails and frogs*
- Eat as much as you like. But eat food so great you'll want to keep it on your tongue forever, rather than just swallow it whole. Savour the tastes. You'll spend more time eating, but taking in less calories.
- 'Mericans spend two minutes to take in 1000 calories of 'smart foods', then spend an hour of hard physical labour to lose 500 again. Smart peoples spend an hour of exquisite bliss to take in 500 calories, then work out for two minutes.
- Respect what you eat. Know what you eat. If you can't identify all the ingredients of what's on your plate, don't eat it.
- Eat French food. Such as, erm, steak frites and frozen pizza. :shame:

You just followed one weird old tip discovered by a local mum in INSERT_LOCATION_OF_IP_ADDRESS_HERE

I would submit the Italian food is better than the French version. <_<

Would you happen to have a spare bedroom and a job for a poor, cultural refugee from the land of the barbarians, Louis?

And what the hell is HFCS?

Eliminating grains is pretty hard and usually costly to replace with other calories. My father is allergic to almost all grains (everything except rice). I'm pretty sure I have his allergy to some extent, and I've tried to systematically eliminate grains from my diet, but it gets difficult. Mostly I just eat less, and have switched to potato/rice. Luckily here in Australia almost nothing has HFCS in it, but most products have cane sugar added instead due to our large cane sugar industry. Not nearly as bad for your health.

Your intake is entirely personal. I myself usually consume 2500-3000 cal. every day and I maintain a weight between 65-70kg. As you get older yes, you don't require as much, but metabolism is entirely variable person-to-person.

High fructose corn syrup, the root of many evils.

I'm still working on doing the opposite...

How much of what you lost was muscle and water Strike? ~;)

Right.

....what is it used in?

I realize that most of it was water you dolts, This is not the first time I've cut weight. However, 13 pounds is much more water than I've ever lost before and I have also never felt this good

Not to mention dropping this much is possible and not really unhealthy but you will get teh skinny fat and provbably put it back on very quickly

I expect my weight loss to slow and the days I got into the gym I didn't feel that my stregnth was suffering any negative effects nor when I ran. This week my intake has been a shade under 2000, (1967 if we are going by averages) where it's usually about 4200

I've felt really good but I figure I may have to uptick to about 2300 if I want to minimize my stregnth losses. But I do expect to lose about 25-35% off my total. Which is fine because this year school has been killing me and I've practicaly stalled in the gym anyway.

I know guys who can eat 2000 and stay at 225 lbs and I know guys who have to 5000 just to gain a miniscule amount of weight, caleroic intake is all personal

Everything you put sugar in. We put that in.

And then some

I'll just point out the Stalingrad diet, as recommended by Kurt Zeitzler.

"Want to get below a healthy weight? Want to look like a stick insect thats being doing meth for years? Then try the stalingrad diet. 40gs of bread in the morning and at lunch followed by a bit of horse meat at dinner"

Zeitzler was urged by his military colleagues to give the breakout order himself, but refused to act on his own, deferring to Hitler's authority as Commander-in-Chief. On hearing that Göring had told Hitler that the supply situation in Stalingrad was "not so bad", Zeitzler wrote in his diary: "Apart from the fact that it would do his (Göring's) figure a power of good to spend a little time in the Kessel, I can only assume that my reports either are not read or are given no credence." Zeitzler, in a gesture of solidarity with the starved troops in Stalingrad, reduced his own rations to their level. Having lost 26 pounds in two weeks, Hitler (after being told by Martin Bormann of the diet) ordered Zeitzler to stop the diet and return to normal rations.

A bonus to that diet is that if you fail and try to eat a macdonalds burger, for example, you'll drop dead...

At all depends heavily on how long you keep it up. Fat is the last thing to go because fat isn't very efficient fuel for your body. Therefore it heavily depends on how much of your diet you burn up, how much reserves you had to begin with, and how long your diet lasts.

my football weightlifting coach uses that diet. i wouldnt argue with HIS results.

You people need to quit HFCS-bashing. Nothing special about it, especially if you are one of those chemophobes who always tries to eat 'natural' despite the fact there is no distinction between 'natural'/'organic' and 'artificial'/etc. But fizzes do taste a helluva lot better with real sugar, sucrose :yes:. Whenever I go back to Russia in the summer, I drink quite a bit of fizzes, which I almost never do here. Pepsi or Coke with real sugar is ahhh... Good...
