Easy to follow, effective, cheap diet - read here
Ok update it's been another month and I'm down another 10pounds to 140
from 205/150. I'd consider myself fairly thin now. This cereal diet works GREAT. In fact, I omit the protein shake now since the cereal and milk give enough. Total cost $10 a week for food and you can buy everything at Costco! Losing weight and feeling great. Not hungry at all since the cereal fills you up. I have to emphasize the easy to follow part. I.e. no fancy or time consuming food preparation. I cut back on the exercise to an hour 3x a week since I had to do some other tasks. Remember you get all the fiber, protein, calcium and vitamins you need so you don't go sick or hungry. You basically can go on this diet forever with the occasional food splurges which is what I intend to do. You don't understand how much time/money/weight you save until you actually tried it for a few months! Now I eat: Eat everyday: Breakfast 8am Multivitamin 30 grams Cereal 250 grams skim milk Snack 10am 20 grams Cereal 250 grams skim milk Lunch 30 grams Cereal 250 grams skim milk Snack 4pm 20 grams Cereal 250 grams skim milk Dinner 6pm 30 grams Cereal 250 grams skim milk Snack 8pm Multivitamin 20 grams Cereal 250 grams skim milk I also have 2 days a week when I eat junk food like two slices of pizza for a meal (since it's free at work) but don't do this until you've reached your ideal weight. _______________________________ Original message Ok I thought I'd share my success. I was 5'6, 205 pounds Male. Now I'm 150 after 2 months on this diet. Unlike other diets, this diet is easy to follow and cheap while still giving you all the vitamins/nutrients you need.

Total Calories: 653 The fiber keeps your movements in shape and keep you full. Don't eat anything else. A lot of diets don't have enough fiber or are too complex and time consuming. I worked out 2 hours a day, 7 days a week (1 hour of weights, 1 hour of cardio) too but even if you do nothing, you will lose a lot of weight since the calorie intake is so low. Best of luck to you.

I think your diet is extreme, and there is no way it's adequate nutritionally. However, I love kashi crunch cereal, and lately my diet has been breakfast - kashi cereal/skim milk, lunch - vegetarian chili w/ground turkey added for lowfat protein, plus an ounce of cheddar on top afternoon snack - apple w/some cheddar dinner - protein shake w/psyllium husk added for fiber and a tablespoon of peanut butter. This comes out to 1470 cal carbs - 162g, 37% protein - 124g, 35% fat - 43g, 27% det

Actually if you add up all the minerals, protein, etc you are getting
the recommended dose of everything except perhaps calories. How much fiber you getting here? Also the crunch cereal isn't as good as the regular stuff in terms of fiber/calories per gram.

So little more fiber and protein in this one. Anyway, it's not the % of calories that are goal. You should be counting: 1) total calories ~1000 2) total protein ~70g But what have you learned? I mean, honestly, could you feed yourself if you had to eat out at a conference? What are you going to do if you have to rush to a family member's deathbed? What happens when you go out on a date or your significant other wants you to eat her cooking? You've found a cute trick to relieve yourself of having to learn how to eat. But you've got a lifelong relationship with food and all you've learned is how not to face it. Wendy

While I love the Kashi cereal and have that for breakfast most days, I
cannot imagine eating it 3x a day for any extended period of time. Not just because of taste but because it wouldn't help me with any sort of long term (maintenance) WOE. FWIW, I get the three pack of Kashi Good Friends, Go Lean and Go Lean Crunch at BJs. This provides a nice amount of variety for me. Sometimses I get something like Nature's Path Heritage Multigrain, etc. to add some additional variety.
