uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......some of these guys offering expert advice ain't skinny.It's the skinny bastards ruining everything.

I did link to the Denise Minger video, which arguably supports the idea that eating hamburgers and bacon every day may not be optimal (at least without eating the rest of the animals as well, including the skin, organs, bones, etc.). Especially not if the meat is from factory-farmed animals, or is cooked in a way that chars it.

Hoping others that read it and are considering doing it realize how stupid it is. Eat a balanced diet and exercise. Isn't that hard, just takes discipline.

Lots of people losing weight with heroin these days. Seems pretty easy.

I understand quite well that all you're doing is trying to be a giant tool. If you want people to stop pointing that out, maybe you shouldn't act like that.I don't think you understand what the difference between playfully trolling and seriously policing is.Who posted in: Otis diet fad of the month thread - A...Member name Posts [icon] 58 Otis 44 Slapdash 18 General Malaise 17 John Bender 17Jesus....
Such serious. Much obsess.
I wish I cared about anything as much as you care about policing this threadCuldy even called it two pages ago but that hasn't stopped you and stat boy from fighting over the empty hook. It's over fellas... Move along

That would be a boring world. It's far more interesting to follow people's personal trainwrecks. Please, let us have this.

Forgot I haven't eaten yet. Gonna grab a salad and another pseudo-sandwich since I forgot to thaw out any dangerous and deadly meat products today.

today I had oatmeal, black coffee, a banana, cottage cheese, hummus, celery, this egg mushroom quiche thing my wife made, apple, glass of milk, salad with spring mix + tomato + red onion + cucumber + hot peppers + croutons + italian, and some chicken parm. Usually have a sandwich instead of the egg thing, but we are out of lunch meat. Need to hit the deli.Add in a four mile run and my fitness pal estimates I have about 500 calories of wiggle room left for the day. May have a couple of glasses of whiskey and some pretzels to finish off the day.

I forgot I thawed out some hot sausage yesterday 
3 small sausage links and a nice big salad with Italian dressing and a boatload of parmesan. And I've been so good, I rewarded myself with a few croutons on the salad.

I just ate an entire Jack's Pizza and am enjoying a tall rum and coke while watching Planet Earth. Slap it high?

Day 2: had half a beef kielbasa (about 3-4 oz) and an apple for breakfast. Apples have 21 grams of carbs so I failed already.
Lunch was a full kielbasa.
Dinner was steamed broccoli with grilled pork loin and sirloin steak. Dry rubs on both. Made enough of both to take to work for the rest of the week.
Enoying a tall glass of vodka and water with some lemon juice.
Didn't run but will run tomorrow after I take my son to hoops. I plan on fasting (under 600 calories) on Thursday. Running both days on the weekend. And the main thing - the Hardest thing - will be abstaining from beer. Its been 48 hours since I had one and sadly, that's news.

I turned into a cranky #####, can't sleep, and I fingered a frozen pint glass. That's sad.
Good news, I have lost 13lbs.

Soooo, you should probably have a bunch of beer sitting around your place, taking up space eh? Oh and congrats on the weight loss and fingering stuff.I have not had a beer in almost three weeks (Thursday) It's the longest I have gone in 20 years.Day 2: had half a beef kielbasa (about 3-4 oz) and an apple for breakfast.

I have been on this diet twice, It sucked and was miserable. At first it's, I can eat all the meat I want!!! Then it's, "I just want a piece of bread". Both times I stopped the diet, I gained what I lost and +10lbs. Plus my sweat felt like grease. I just turned 40 this year and joined a gym, I just started using the myfitnesspal app and it's been pretty useful. My biggest cheat day was 1200 calories over my goal of 2210 calories. I run 3 miles 5 days a week during my lunch break and lift 4 days a week at night. I started this mid January and have lost 8lbs. The weight is coming off a lot slower this way, but I feel like I can maintain this and I feel much stronger. Once I get to 240, I'm going to reduce my running to 1 day a week, but still hit the weights 4 nights a week. I'm currently at 260lbs.

Tried the Atkins about fifteen years ago. Gained everything back. Why? Because it really doesn't work on changing your habits in a sustainable way.
Excercise more, eat less, and healthier.
Had a colleague in Brazil who was into Atkins in a big way. Did it several times, gained the weight back every time, until he developed type 2 diabetes. He's slimmer now, so there is that...

Today (day 7 for me) is the first day I didn't lose any weight... stayed the same as yesterday. I know I can't expect to lose every day, but it was a bummer when I got on the scale this morning.

Most diets don't. I actually think that with so much Paleo/Primal literature out there now, that it's probably much easier to transition from Atkins assuming you didn't do Atkins by buying a bunch of Atkins-sponsored pseudo-food (also my major beef with Weight Watchers).I am saying the diet did nothing to allow him to maintain a healthy weight.So you're saying the diet game him diabetes?

I'm no saint. Right now I'm a tub of goo. But there is no diet known to man that will magically change eating habits "in a sustainable way". Regardless of what the end game is; low carb, low fat, low cal, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, you name it, nothing will change if the individual doesn't change. Some of those may be easier for some people than others. Truth is, they are all difficult (for me at least).
Simply put... your colleague could (would) have just as easily become a diabetic if his failed diet of choice was Weight Watchers.

To attain a healthier weight in the long run substantial changes are required in the way most of us live, not only in terms of what we eat but also in terms of how much we move about. Might as well make those changes to begin with and stick to them than to take a (fad) diet to crash the weight and then change the habits after a(nother) period of serious self deprivation.
And I'm not saint when it comes to lifestyle, but you won't catch me dieting.
