    help wanted please

    I'd recommend The Rapid Fat Loss Hand Book by Lyle McDonald as a good VLCD. It isn't meal replacement, but it goes over the what kind of protein sources and how much of it you need, etc, all within the book. I'd much prefer doing it that way to doing any meal replacement type thing, but each to...

    Lyle McDonald - Store | BodyRecomposition - The Home of Lyle McDonald I'm doing the rapid fat loss hand book. Lyle really knows his stuff, A guide to flexible dieting, The RFLH, and Ketogenic diet are all great. The Ultimate Diet 2.0 is probably the best cyclogenic diet out there for athletes...

    Nope, unexpectedly there was no gain whatsoever today. Oh well, I'll consider myself blessed haha. 1 week gone, down 7 pounds to 196 (14 stone), from 203 (14 1/2 stone) at the beginning of the challenge!

    Restarting and its only my...oh 53rd time?

    It took me a while to 'hit the wall'. You know, where you just reach the point you ask yourself truthfully: "What do I want more, to lose weight, or eat this piece of delicious caek?". If at that point you aren't in a mental position where you can give that caek an angry stare followed by slam...

    ANYONE TRIED THE 3 DAY DIET??

    Can someone give me more info on the menu plan for this diet? Unless you're looking for some really quick weight loss as psychological boosting introduction to a more long term diet, I really can't see the point of a diet lasting 3 days (unless you're an athlete needing to drop to a certain...

    jumanji's 2 Stone in 2 Months

    Even though it's 1 day to go until my first official weekly weigh in, I weighed myself this morning and I was 196 lbs. Which means I'm 7 lbs down from my starting weight in only 6 days, which confuses me slightly, as I was meeting a friend (one who I happened to meet on this site actually, yay!)...

    Not Following A Diet- What do You Eat?

    Anytime XD Of course you can still actually gain weight even while 'eating clean' if you're eating at a caloric surplus, but it certainly makes things a lot harder!

    off plan for hols?

    Well I haven't personally been on the Cambridge Diet before, but speaking from diets in general (especially low carb), you'll gain some weight and you might feel a little 'puffy', but most the gained weight will just be water retention due to the carbs. A good idea is to find roughly your BMR...

    jumanji's 2 Stone in 2 Months

    I plan on losing 2 stones in 2 months, from between August 1st and October 1st. I'm currently 14 stonish, but I'll weigh in for my official starting weight on August 1st in 2 days time, even though I'll be dieting from now onwards. I'll be doing a PSMF as outlined in Lyle McDonalds book - The...

    A pound of fat.. (food mentioned)

    It's cool, but what you have to remember is when you see it all in one single chunk it's going to look a lot more than you lose from your own body. A pound is barely noticeable when it comes off in a small layer from all around the body :) Well, for me, anyway

    What Clothes size are you in today? and Weight

    Well, I started at 24 stone where I wore 3/4XL t-shirts, I'm not too sure about my waist size. Now I'm around 14 stone and I wear L t-shirts, and I wear 36/38" waist jeans.

    Alcohol...whats best?

    My favorites are Magners Cider (on ice, of course), sambuca - the ones that taste like liquorice and are really sweet! Gorgeous! Bacardi and coke is never bad too =D

    "He also asked pupils whether their mother was "fit"" I'll be honest, I straight up laughed when I read that. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person :D But no, seriously, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been amused. Bad. Very bad.

    Knocked out of the big K?

    Is there any process between the point that Glycogen is diminished and the point at which you start using fat as primary energy source - which may make it take longer? Or is it just instant? I guess it would be, otherwise what would you survive on in between?

    Knocked out of the big K?

    I'm a little bit confused about Ketosis, my understanding is as follows, correct me if I'm wrong: You stop eating carbs - your body switches to using it's emergency supply of glycogen - that supply of glycogen is diminished fairly quickly, usually within 24 hours (or that's what I read), and...

    I'm a WemITT! :) 10 stone to lose and need help please!

    Hey Aimee! I'd personally recommend looking into Ketogenic diets/carb restriction. It can be a good way to lose weight whilst still being satisfied with what you're eating :)

    Hair loss

    Well, I'd say even on a low calorie diet shoot for 100g+ of protein per day, take your fish oil supplements and a vitamin.

    Hey Aimee! I'm 18, and the same as you I've been overweight all of my life. At my heaviest I was around 24 stone! - so quite a big boy! :D. I can relate to the social anxiety/phobia stuff too! Although after losing quite a lot of weight things have gotten a little better for me! I've found that...

    The Eat Clean Diet???

    It's vitally important you get enough protein. I think your lean body mass would take quite a slapping if you only ate fruit and vegetables. I'd suggest taking a look at this: Vegetarian Lifestyle Tips - Non Meat Protein Sources

    Not Following A Diet- What do You Eat?

    Times article: Do VLCDs work and are they safe?

    Well, VLCD's definately work. But whether they're safe depends on how they're implemented. A great book on fast fat loss is Lyle McDonald's The Rapid Fat Loss Hand Book, he really knows his stuff and he covers all nutritional bases within the book. A 600 calorie lean protein diet with low carb...

    vlcd no weight loss in second week!

    If you're eating 600 calories of chocolate and crisps, then yeah you would. Done correctly you can avoid undue loss of lean muscle tissue on a VLCD. Look up PSMF (protein sparing modified fast), particularly Lyle McDonald's book 'The Rapid Fat Loss Hand Book', quite a lot of people have seen...

    Interesting article on BMI

    I totally agree that BMI isn't a lot of good. But it's O.K (sort of) when used to roughly determine how fat your average sedentary guy who doesn't work out is, but as I said, even then, just a very rough idea. But for anybody who's active and works out, body fat measurements are the only way to...

    1000 calorie pre op diet

    Well, if they just judging my scale weight alone, and you HAVE to make the weight, then I'd suggest cutting out all carbohydrates (like atkins induction phase, for example) - that will force your body to use up it's glycogen stores and hopefully lose you a decent amount of weight as a result...

    To anyone who has lost a lot of weight - loose skin.

    Well, there's a thew things that can effect how bad your loose skin is. Nutrition (make sure you get all your vitamins, EPH/EFA's, etc), genetics - some people just have more elastic skin than others, age - skin becomes less elastic the older you get, and how fast you lose the weight. But it's...

    vlcd no weight loss in second week!

    Scale weight can be a really strange thing during weight loss, due to water retention and whatnot. Rest assured though, if you're only eating 600 calories per day you you're definitely losing fat, regardless of what your overall weight may be.

    Sooo...does Atkins really work??

    The Rapid Fat Loss Hand Book is not kim kims. I suggest you give it a read, if followed correctly and to the letter, it's a fantasic way of dropping bodyfat FAST, whilst maintaining your LBM. People have seen fantastic results following it, as with all of Lyle McDonald's books. I'd recommend it...

    how many carbs do you have daily?

    If you're eating that low of an amount of calories, I think you should make sure you're consuming your whole caloric allowance in lean protein sources (chicken breast, etc), as little carbohydrate as possible. Eating protein should prevent your body attacking your Lean Body Mass for it's...

    Addicted to carbonated drinks

    Hmm, I have the same addiction as well actually. One of the most important things involved in my weight loss was switching from regular to diet, as diet is more or less totally calorie free, it hasn't hindered my weight loss at all. I'm not saying the aspartame, etc in diet Coke is actually...
