Wanted to get farm/building site work but too ealry starts, so its gonna be bar work.

So im guessing im just gonna have to get down the pool, hairy arse and beer gut blobbing about

@ Shaggy that is taking the piss 500 per day, very unhealthy, you may aswell do that all meat diet but that makes you feel like crap also.

I am 6.1 6.2 and almost 14 stone but most people think i am 10-11stone, doesn't show on me and i eat as much crap as i want, love putting it in peoples faces that are on diets.

Keep on going between 13.7-13.12, i lose pounds from eating, good game.

Well, had my weekly weigh in yesterday, and there's another 5.9 pounds off. Still on track for my target.

In addition to the 500 calories a day, I'm getting cognitive behaviour therapy from the counsellor who I see once a week. I'm learning what my triggers are, i.e. visit to Ikea = need to have meatballs chips and gravy. Weekly shopping at Sainsbury's on a Sunday = all day breakfast. Up and about before 7:00am = McDonalds breakfast.

I'm also monitoring my blood pressure daily, and visiting my G.P regularly. It may seem drastic, and there's plenty of nay saysers who are too eager to jump on the "it's unhealthy/you'll put it all back on/might as well have your jaw wired/might as well do diet X/just do situps FFS" bandwagon. I've tried various diets, and never found one I could stick with. This one I can. It's not for everyone, it takes a shitload of willpower which fortunately I now have. I couldn't have done this a couple of years ago, but I'm in the right mindset now to see it through and stick with it.

Bottom line is that with any diet at all, if you go back to your old habits when you hit your target weight, you'll put the weight back on. Simple as that. Exercise is not the be all and end all of dieting - you burn 100 calories walking a mile. There's 3500 calories in a pound of fat. Fancy walking 35 miles to lose a pound? I thought not.

I'm not saying you shouldn't exercise at all, just that it's only a minor part of weight loss.

I personally believe a lifestyle change is required to loose weight and keep it off. And to achieve that you have to find ways to enjoy your new lifestyle.

Simple lifestyle habits are easy to form if you do it gradually. Learn to enjoy cooking so you know what you are eating is good. Learn to enjoy ten minutes strenious exercise....if not for the ten minutes but for the endorphine release at the end....if not that then enjoy it for its social aspects.

TBH I agree, its an incredibly unhealthy diet, however if you can keep the weight off once you do hit your target then I suppose you can argue its been worth the effort and health risk. Conversley staying hugely overweight is probably more of a health risk anyway.

I would also be concerned about changing your diet over at the end to a mroe conventional plan, as the minute you calorie intake increases your body will put weight back on.

TheShaggyDA, just out of curiosity, are you not even allowed to eat fruit n veg?

[TheShaggyDA]

Nope, just the soups and shakes, and the bar. Once I've hit my target weight, I'll be starting the maintenance portion of the programme, where initially I just introduce protein into my diet, replacing one of the soups. Then It'll be raw veg, and gradually cooked veg. Things like fruit, carbs, grains, sugars, dairy, alcohol etc. won't be added until later, and only after a period of trial of each, so that if I have an intolerance to, say, wheat, I can note it's effects in isolation.

Anyone know anything about appetite suppresants and fat burners?

Can't use the internet to get decent info on this because it's all full of hard-sell snake oil merchants.

[craigie b]

I used an active fat burner from tescos....it was basically a natural high dose of caffine, guarana and a few other stimulants. to be honest i didn't benefit at all but some guys swear by them.

One I want to try is https://www.high5-online.com/acatalog/Joint_Protection___Energy_Booster___Fat_Burner.html

excellent products from high 5

Seeing as there a few people trying to lose a few pounds, I suggest we have a diet thread where you can post your current weight, your target weight, and the program you are doing. Then as we (including me) hopefully lose weight, we can post it and be motivated by peoples positive responses (lol)

I've known Shaggy since the 80's (not in the biblical sense though ), and once he sets his mind on something he's about as stubborn and persistent as its possible to be, drives ya nuts sometimes, so he will do the 18 weeks and reach his target, he managed to drink his soup and eat his bar while i scoffed a couple of bananas infront of him, I did ask him about his diet and thought if I had felt as unhealthy as he had then hopefully the willpower would come from somewhere.

Under normal circumstances I think 500 calories a day would be unhealthy, but if you read his posts he consulted his doctor before going with it, and is being medically monitored while he does it, so Shaggy good luck with it
