Even if you still have a nearly full plate, just save the rest for leftovers. <br /> <br />2. Once you get through step 1, start eating more and more but smaller and smaller meals each day. My largest meal was eggs and toast in the morning, and whenever I'd get hungry throughout the day I'd just consume a shot-glass filled with almonds, a piece of fruit, or a small piece of beef jerky. If you do this right, you'll end up eating less calories than usual throughout the day but boost you metabolism. <br /> <br />I call it the Scavenger Diet. <br /> <br />Like I mentioned, I lost 20lbs in a month doing this, with minimal exercise (just about 20min a day riding my bike to and from work). This also led to the running joke in my lab that I was anorexic, given I'm 6'3" and 220lbs but ate less than anyone else working there that summer (even though I never starved myself).</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>lostmyself</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 3:50 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">power yoga.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>auntblabby</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 3:09 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>VIDEODROME wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">2 words: Tape Worm</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_idea.gif" alt="Idea" border="0" /> but how hard would it be to get rid of, once the weight were lost?</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>VIDEODROME</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:44 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">2 words: Tape Worm</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Marcia</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2012 5:45 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I went to buy clothes this evening, and the changing rooms had three mirrors which let me see more of me than I usually do. Yikes! <br /> <br />I know that I've put on weight over the past year or so, but was horrified to see rolls of fat at waist level on my back! I didn't even try on most of the clothes, and will start my new regime tomorrow. <br /> <br />Plan is to eat more fruit and vegetables, cut out the biscuits, sweeties and chocolate and go for a good walk at least once a day. I don't have any scales so don't know how much I weigh (and don't really want to know either!).

No. You eat 2000 calories per day. Then reduce by 200 everyday until you hit 1200, which is 400 per meal. Calories are easy to understand, just look at the package and measure out a serving size and thats how many calories per item you have. Get a little weight scale for the meat stuff. Buy Chicken Breasts(almost pure protein, other cuts are cheaper but more fattening), Ground Beef(lean is best but its more expensive), frozen veggies(no sodium, fresh is better if you are rich), Beans(beans are really healthy and cheap), Tuna(in water, also cheap and healthy, no more than one can a day though because mercury). Cottage Cheese and Greek Yogurt are good too. For good fats I eat half an avocado and a 1/2 cup of pistachio with shells a day which is 260 of my 1200 calories and both have protein in them. <br /> <br />This diet sacrifices nothing. I lost 30 pounds so far doing this. <br /> <br />As for exercise the important thing is that you can do it regularly, not so much the intensity. After four weeks of doing the same exact time/intensity/type you increase one of those three, as your body figures out how to do it more efficiently and it doesn't have as much impact anymore.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody">I think this is the best diet plan so far. My suggestion is that you don't focus on the weight loss goal and instead try to eat more healthy, keeping in mind the effects that every food you eat have on your health. I am on a gluten free diet and I have lost a lot of weight, but I don't think that necessarily has to do with being on this diet. I don't avoid red meat because you need some of it to get your recommended iron intake. Drink either skim milk or 1% milk if you absolutely hate skim milk. Do not eat any fast foods (i.e. fries, burgers, even the salads might have very fattening dressing). Do not drink a lot of alcohol. Make most of your diet fruits and vegetables; eat fruits when you need a sugar fix. Fruits have fiber in them along with sugar, which helps digest the sugars. This is why eating/drinking anything with refined sugar/corn syrup is unhealthy; there is no fiber to accompany the sugars and they are way too concentrated for your body to digest them easily, so they are more likely to go into fat reserves instead. Avoid eating a lot of potatoes, corn, and white rice. I would suggest not to eat those commercial cereals, either, as they may have a lot of sugars added and may not be whole grain. Perhaps a gluten-free diet would be good but it's hard to get onto unless you have an actual allergy to gluten, where bad reactions to foods would be an incentive in itself. <br /> <br />I have lost a lot of weight with diet alone, without any purposeful exercise. Frankly, I'm not organized enough for that... <br /> <br />Oh, and also, no vending machine/convenience store snacks. Those are usually packed with fat. When I really want some, I go with the Lay's baked chips, which are I believe 40% less fat than their standard potato chips.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>V33X</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2012 4:43 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I once read about in order to keep a fast metabolism, one must not eat big meals (consuming a lot at one time), but rather space out eating.
