How to diet
I` m very thin , currently finishing a diet to get even thinner.Been on
several diets thru the decades..all successful. Not "high" metabolism, ( I was fat a chid, got thin in y late teens) just focusand knowledge. Forget any "fad" or "plan" diet. Keep in mind these precepts : dump the scale, it will give inaccurate readings due to water retention/elimanation. The heavier you are the faster you will lose, but as you get lighter the losses will take longer. Become familar with the caloric value of the foods you eat and how many calories your body will burn at various weights at "normal" activity. Forget exercise , most likely it will just make you hungry. Best long term plan : ( although even a candy bar diet works,,,the bars weigh little ) two meals a day , one at about ten/eleven AM , the other at about five/six PM. Total of about 1,100 calories/day. VERY IMPORTANT : never let yourself get too hungry, this is the number one reason diets fail, when you REALLY are too hungry, drink a can of real soda , or eat an apple, then resume the standard diet. A heavy ( 250 lbs.) person will lose about a pound a day this way . Failue to maintain this routine and reach goal weight will be boredom, lack of real incentive , or lack of patience. Once goal weight has been accomplished a knowlede of calories will allow the individual to make various daily trade-offs to keep within the allowed number of calories/day. You can eat anything you want, when you want ( tho not as much as you want) in this way. The mirror will be your judge and jury. Forget ANY excuse you`ve heard or manufactured to excuse your certain diet failue. Stephen |

How to diet
You have an interesting system which works well for you I assume...Why you
suggest dropping exercise is beyond me...Well I guess I understand but find it to be very important in your overall health and ability to lose and still not starve...2 meals a day...Again I guess it works for you but everyone is different and often more small meals makes better sense...Why would you recommend a sugared soda...Just for the extra calories?...Apple sure...In addition 2 meals a day will tend to leave most people hungry and 1100 calories a day for a 250 lb person is low...Sure you will lose but will you remain on it?...I'm a ex 350 lb guy who is now at 188...I eat 3 meals a day and plan on snacks in the evening...I exercise daily and think I may have finally beat this addiction...Anyway I just felt I had to put in my 2 cents...Good luck on your journey...GG "S D" wrote in message ...

How to diet
If anyone can`t "maintain" 188 lbs. ( heavy ) he/she is a glutton.
Really fat people who just get less fat, or not fat , but still chunky (not thin ) are in a completely different situation than someone looking for the 120 lb. or lower range. Anyone 350 lbs, was so far out of reality with what food should, orcan be he/she can hardly be trusted to give advise. Trying to "maintain" 188 is a joke , you must think not stuffing youself at meals is a big feat. I enjoy everything I eat while not obsessing about food ( tho it is always a concern ) Americans are so ****in` fat it is a gross out. Two meals represent real meals, calorie wise, soda gives fast energy (can use OJ also ). Fasting is also a good way to lose maybe 5-10 lbs. ( it is ....fast), but too difficult to maintain over the long haul. 1100 calories/day is pleanty for anyone properly motivated ( sees the end product , not the journey) I`m on 600 cal/ day , a few days from the final goal ( which is very, very thin ) After four or so days of an 1100 ( or 600 calories , for tougher minded people) you get " locked in " to the lower intake of food and then its just a matter of time passing. The obese and fatties crying about their failure to lose weight are fat heads and losers in another way. Even if they magically did get thin they`d just gain it back. Want sweet talk ? Then stay FAT.

How to diet
You know a diet is perhaps the one thing in life in which what you put
into it is what you get out of it,,,that`s its strength and explains why people who fail at diets fail ( they have to do it themselves) , `course there`s stomach reduction and liposuction. My scale has not dropped an ounce in 17 days, tho in that time I`ve lost about six lbs. Mirror shows ( slow, but certain ). One time went 12 days without a bowel movement, system does not recognize it has to work with as little food ( one small meal) as I`ve been eating. A laxative every six days deals with this no problem. I`ve had really big problems trying to fall asleep the last three weeks ( something totallly new), but each AM I`m visibly lighter. I could maintain this indefinately [ tho I do realize how tough it is to be on a long term ( months ) diet], My focus now is how I`ll divide up my alloted calories during the day when the diet is completed , or if I`ll really stay at this weight, or go back to about 15 lbs, heavier. A serious weight lifting program to gain muscle mass and serious stamina buiding exercise program to compliment a fat concious attitude would be the ideal, but I did not go that way SD |

Seems very straightforward, low calories, etc. Strikes me that you probably are feeling less hunger now than you did when you were eating three square meals a day. Very inspirational! Good going!

How to diet
As to not feeling hungry or deprived while losing weight : I`ve read
that fasting accomplishes this. It is necessary to eliminate all toxins from the body (tea, coffee, smoking) use laxatives to clean out noxious waste, and drink matbe 64 ounces of water a day. I`ve also read that thin people and those who "feel" the cold ....both are conditions that describe me, do not do well on fasts ( probably brings on headaches ) so its not for me ( or good to use for other than a few pounds loss ) I`m an old hand at dieting tho this is the first one I`ve been on in 15-20 years. I used to enjoy reading some of the crackpot/fraudulant books on diets, in the end believe me it is calories in and that`s it unless you can go nuts with really arduous exercise over a long period. The idea of building a diet program to fit a person`s profile is nuts, just doctor stuff to make youthink they know something. Any diet that gets you where you want to go is a good diet , but there should be some thought to not eating much filler low cal food su ch as lettuce as you`ll also want to gt the stomach used to less mass for the time when you`re on maintenance ( shrinking the stomach). In the end it comes down to do you want to make a sacrifice in your life now to get to where you think you want to be: A 250 lb. person may never want to eat a whole lot less as must the 140 lb. person. The idea that diets don`t work and it`s tougher for an older person to lose weight is crap. This is one thing you can do yourself. SD |

Lack of execise makes you skinnyfat. Not attractive. Not healthy. never let yourself get too hungry, this is the number one reason diets fail Diets in general do not 'fail'as anyone can lose weight one way or another from starvation to grapefruits etc, but losing weight the right way and then keeping it off AND BEING HEALTHY as in a lifestyle change. Permanent healthy eating choices. What you are promoting is not. joanne |

You don't know anything about the 188 pound guy. For all you know, could be: - medium or large framed - moderately muscular - lean - ... and 6'4" tall! Hahaha. |

Is that what /you/ are shooting for? Did you say your name was Stephen or Stephanie? Are you in a homosexual relationship, trying to be the submissive, effeminate partner to some beefy guy? Or are you a 5-foot-tall horse riding jockey? You are not making yourself attractive to any normal-minded, red- blooded female. In terms of raw physical attributes, women by and large prefer strong, muscular men, who are cut to a low body fat level: broad shoulders, powerful arms, small waist. /Ripped/ is what you want to be, not /thin/. Do you understand the difference? 600 cal/ day , a few days from the final goal ( which is very, very thin ) But how lean is that? What is your estimated body fat percentage, and what is the goal? |
