Will i lose weight quickly on this diet?

yes but you'll be bored to death

no ,because it wont last and you'll be hungry and crack up

do some excercise and to cut the cravings have some sweet tea, or start smoking

cheers barzalona will try that... ruined me already today and had to have some toast just now lol

would you be so kind to bring the thread to the top plz Emden i just looked down and could not see it.

Also, the release of insulin is what causes craving of junk food as the insulin spikes into your blood and the drops off fast, this drop triggers the body to crave more food that causes the spike again... bread, sweets, pasta etc

If you want a treat at the weekend... go maccies, but just take the bun off the cheeseburger and eat the meat and cheese... obviously no fries.

Its as simple as that... meat, veg, salad, eggs.

Potatoes a big no no... that is why boiling them or baking them as jackets are a massive NO

Sweet potatoes a yes.

Bearing in mind everybody Barzalona is a self proclaimed snorter of cocaine.

He is a real health freak.

The key nutrional number to keep an eye on is the grams of carbohydrates you intake daily.

Less than 30g is optimal.

So have a look on the can of soup... sweetcorn is fine.

final question barzalona - fresh fish is ok too like mackerel huh?

Dean has not actually said he is overweight yet,all you budding Marjorie Dawes might be sending him to Karen Carpenter land

Is the Betfair forum really the place to go for nutritional infomation

More of a lifestyle change than a diet if you incorporate low carb high protein into your food intake.

losing weight is a piece of p1ss once you stop listening to the modern world's take on it.

the diet and food industry all have vested interests.

Eat less - fasting works and has worked for thousands of years.
stop eating snacks - we are not built to snack.
Eat fat, not sugar - look up what is called Paleo and you will find the reasoning there.
Lift Weights, move slow and sprint every now and then

enjoy.

This worked for me and have recommended it to a few people and they have also seen dramatic results. 

i agree with starting with low carb, which obviously will kick start ketosis and pretty fast fat loss.  Just be careful if you have underlying health issues.

That's a terrible diet deansthemann, absolutely awful. You would lose weight on it and plenty of muscle as well but you won't keep it up and anything you do lose will eventually come back as you will inevitably crack at some point.

The best way to lose weight is not to starve yourself but change your life time eating habits. If you don't eat enough your body will stubbornly hang on to the fat as it goes into starvation mode. The body isn't interested in looking good it wants to survive and by depriving it of food it will hang on to every bit of it's fat reserves for as long as possible.

If you want to lose weight you need to eat healthy. Cut out the alcohol and simple sugars.

I've currently trying to lose a bit of fat myself and I'm eating virtually all day.

I have a bowl of porridge with semi skimmed milk and for the rest of the day I eat home made soup. My soup contains 2 lbs of turkey, carrots, onions, broccoli, sweet potato, kale, cauliflower, tomatoes with a stock cube and a bit of salt and pepper. I get my fair share of protein with the turkey and the veg is low in calories.

I'm eating this all day so my metabolism speeds up with the intake of food but there isn't that many calories to burn.

d13phe, if your going to pull me up on something make sure you're right.

You're wrong, excess calories make you fat, nothing else.

Cooking with fat is fine but if you eat excess calories you will put on weight. If you eat under your maintenance then you will lose weight. That's the be all and end all of it.

there is a huge argument at the moment concerning calories.  Some experts think they mean nothing and it is the macros that count (i.e. fat/prot/carb) and some think they do.

Whatever the argument it is nigh on impossible to eat nearly 2,500 calories when you eat things with fat/butter and little carbs.  You are full for hours so the argument is a bit redundant really.

Also, eating small meals through the day to speed up your metabolism is a myth that has now been proven to be wrong. 

by the way, you need to read up on what actually happens when you put weight on.  It not excess fat.  It's excess sugar that the liver cannot process http://www.obesity-info.com/2012/04/sugar-make-you-fat.html

Wake up and drink a lot of room temperature water immediately.  Drink quite a bit.

Two hours later, have breakfast:

Breakfast: 3 tablespoons oatbran (oatbran, not whole oats.  Try Mornflake) boil in saucepan with a mug of water, when boiling add a tablespoon of flaxmeal and a sprinkle of cinnamon.  Add 1/4 mug of water mixed with a half-scoop of vanilla protein powder.  Stir well and when bubbling again chuck in 3/4 of a chopped apple; handful of crushed walnuts and a handful of sultanas.  Mix in and add a dash of zero calorie maple syrup (Walden Farms pancake syrup).  Pour into a bowl and top with a chopped banana.  Have with a half glass of apple juice.  Mug of green tea would be better but pressed apple juice is fine, just not too much.  This breakfast is delicious.

Drink water.  Plenty of water.  You know you're getting enough when you need a piss every 30 mins.

Lunch: Tuna/Salmon/Chicken/Turkey salad.  Minimal dressing.  Drink some green tea.  Soup with a Food Doctor pitta break also ok.

Afternoon snack: flan/custard: Crack 5 eggs into a bowl and whisk. Heat 375ml of milk with a vanilla pod scraped out into it.  Include the pod.  Don't let it boil.  When warm pout into the bowl.  Add a teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1.25 teaspoon vanilla essence, 1/5 cup sugar substitute (I use Total Sweet).  Whisk and pour into four separate ramekins. Sprinkle some cinnamon on top. Place ramekins in an oven tray and fill tray with boiling water up to 3/4 of ramekin.  Put in a pre-heated oven at 155 degrees (if fan-assisted) for 35 mins.  This obviously makes 4.  Leave to cool and put in fridge.  Can have one a day.  Have with mug of green tea.

Dinner: baked fish and sauteed spinach.  Put some white fish on some foil, sprinkle a tiny amount of salt (salt is really bad when trying to lose weight as soaks up water) and pepper, a drizzle of fresh lemon juice and drizzle of olive oil.  Place some sliced ginger on top with some thyme.  Wrap up in the foil and put in a 200 degree fan-assisted foil for 18 mins.  Dice some ginger and garlic.  Slice some shallots.  Rub a tiny amount of olive oil on a frying pan, heat and add the chopped stuff.  Then add 3 large handfuls of spinach and sautee until wilted.  That's dinner.  Have with cup of green tea or apple juice if need something sweet.  Dessert: fat free yoghurt, preferable vanilla otherwise something with no added sugar/fructose, raspberry better than most.

Make sure you're still drinking lots of water.

Weigh yourself when you wake up first thing every morning.

Can't believe I typed this out.  I lose about 1 lb per day with this and don't really need any exercise, although it obviously helps.  Drinking copious amounts of water is really important.

Oh by the way I'd rather drink my own pi** then drink green tea, its nasty

The green tea con is just that.  The effects on metabolism are completely negligble unless you have 50 cups a day, every day.
