have you ever done a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD)?
827636
yes and i ended up having an eating disorder.  You should never eat less than 1,200 - 1,400 calories a day.  NO MATTER WHAT!  You should really eat more than that.  If you eat less than that in the long run you'll only harm yourself.  You're metabolism will slow down and you'll have to eat less and less.  It's cyclical.  You also will have no energy and won't be happy because your blood sugar will suck.  If you want to lose weight, just workout and eat right.  Be sensible.

do the following:\n\nuse reduced fat mayo instead of regular\ndrink skim milk instead of whole or 1%\nStop drinking juice- drink only 0 calorie drinks or skim milk\nswitch from butter or margerine to 0 calorie I cant believe its not butter spray\neat every five hours and if you need a snack in between stick to something with at least 3 grams of fiber in it and no more than 200 calories\ndrink lots of water or crystal light (which is water-based)

I wouldnt go lower the 1200 calories, as long as you are not preganat or nursing, however please not that your body gets used to eating 1200..or however many... calories you consume, and adjusts your metabolism acordingly, thats why ever since the low cal/low fat diet made its debut in the early '90's we have become more obese, I would try to exersice 3x aweek, 20-30 mins, eat healthier, but not nessarily lighter, and more frequesnt meals but stop eating past 7pm, consume lots of water and avoid splenda, nutrasweet, products, they have a whole host of other problems associayted with them.  If you are over wieght you may want to do a 24-48 hour fast to break sugar cravings, fast on fresh friut/vegatbles and water for 1-2 days then slowly re interduce foods, this will flush toxins out of your body and should jump start you 2 lbs or more, if your diabetic, or have any serious health coindition, please consult a doctor before making ANY dietary changes.  If you still insist on going low carb, the "3 hour diet" is the way to go, he works to keep your metabolism going and gives you a menue for around 1400 calories per day, Jorge Cruise wrote the book, you can look it up on amazon, there youll find rewies

I started exercising.  First I walked 20 minutes a day.  Then I added 3 times a week workout with weights.  \n\nAfter that, I just limited myself to smaller meals and lost weight. My smaller meals consisted of one thing for breakfast(pancakes, eggs,or cereal,etc, one food item for lunch(sandwich,soup,or baked potato), a playing-card sized meat serving and two half-cup sized sides plus lettuce or other veggies  for dinner. I don't drink soda anyway.  No candy.

I lost 53lbs in less than three months by drinking nothing else but bottled water, I ate three servings of dairy (yogurt, cheese, milk, etc..) I never ate after 8PM no matter what and instead of making my reg. size dinner plate in the evening I started making me a saucer of the same dinner I prepared for everyone else.. It really did work!! Good Luck.. I did also walk a half mile 3 days per week also.. keep me informed.. Hope it works for you the way it did for me!!!

No but the sugar and cream you put in it can give you calories that can that can turn to fat. I've done the South Beach diet before and they suggest putting powdered cream and a sugar supplement in your coffee to cut down on calories. I prefer Sweet 'N Low.

Try light, or nonfat vanilla yogurt, nonfat Axelrod cottage cheese with pineapples, part skim ricotta (i'm italian- i love it!), a glass of milk-us ladies need it!-dairy really fills you up! Carrots, apples, celery, watermelon, stone wheat crackers-very low carb-with low sugar and sodium Peanut Butter and DRINK PLENTY O WATER!! no soda, no juice, try a squeeze of fresh lemon or orange in it for taste ;-)\n\nThe less sugars and salts in your diet the less you desire to eat processed foods. \nAlso, honestly try out: www.FitDay.com . Every time I go back to that site I get a grip on reality. You enter the food you eat each day and it breaks down the calorie,s fats, proteins and alcohol in the food. You can add housework and sleeping and even sexual activity to calculate your calories burned each day, etc! It helps you understand alot about your body and the effect of what you put in it.\n\nDitch the cookies! I dont miss my Oreo's too much. I can have some when I lose 10lbs ;-)

no,,most of them don't work or can cause you to have other medical problems..\n Cut out one high calorie food evry 2 weeks...and cut your serving sizes in half...watch the sweets..even the artifical ones...drink more water...find a fun activity,like dancing or swimming...

I took a day off and ate a normal thanksgiving. I regret it now! I forgot what it's like to eat a lot of empty carbs and fat! It's funny how in my mind things like green bean casserole sounds so good, but it wasn't that good and I don't feel well because of it. \n Tomarrow, a double work out!\n\nGood for you for sticking to your new eating regime!

i have gone from a size 14 to a size 8, in the last six months,,,\n\nwhat i did was fast one day a week, no solid foods, but juice and water,,,, and maybe just a few crackers, for the first month or so\n\ndidnt matter if i skipped a week, but tried to do it every week, this seemed to help clear out my system, give me more energy, and also jump start my diet\n\nyes, exercise and diet are important, but what worked best for me was taking them both in small steps and new approaches,, cutting down on refined sugar,,,, sometimes eating heavy food so i would keep that full feeling longer,,   exercising during tv commercials etc, \n\ni did this without cutting any one item out of my diet, eating what i wanted, just reminded myself i didnt want the large servings, fatty things

none.  ive taken diet pills and they never worked for me.  my fiancee took Carb curb and said that it worked well for him.   but diet pills always make me feel gross.  i took trimspa and follwed it as the directions stated and didnt lose a pound.  i found exercise and a healthy diet worked good.  stay under 1500 calories and you'll lose weight

Yes it is very much possible coz ... coz intake of food will reduce and the work per day is same ... so u would b burning same calories aking less calories inside .. which if analysed properly ..u will notice tht u will become weak and ur face charm will vanish... one's body needs full nutrients and charbohydrtaes... which u will not get by dieting of consuming less food.... So i would suggest u too work out or atleast walk briskly regularly for 30 to 35 mins  and carry on with ur 3meals per day with out the junkies in b/w and u will definately loose weight in 15days ... try it out....\nBest of Luck... take care...
