Scam for the most part…

I’m sure the plan works if you follow it, but it’s nothing magical and is pretty much guaranteed to just be a different way to eat fewer calories.

thanks, would love to fuck you.

I never recommend crashing dieting approaches. I’m sure you’ll agree it never works out well in the long run. Going more aggresively low cal for 1-2 weeks is fine, but the sooner you focus on actually creating solid healthy habits and routines, the better.

You can still consistently lose weight, but it’ll be more in the realm of 2 pounds a week or so.

Alcohol is like anything, best consumed in moderation. One drink per night is fine, it’s when you get shit faced on the weekend and binge on burgers and fries…then we have a problem. Yes alcohol calories matter.

Really enjoyed reading through the posts, the candid style really shits on the majority of pretentious snowflake shit out there, with endless inspirational quotes, and unsustainable advice, very refreshing!

I basically had a question that touched more on your earlier post, regarding the pure calorie deficit / fasting.

One of the few times I lost weight quickly, and kept it off for years was when I did a crash type diet. Was an 18 year old student, 5’9 200lbs after a heavy xmas and did a diet consisting of oatmeal for breakfast and a shit evening meal of canned beans / canned soup, or chicken salad (living the student dream). Anyhow although it went against all orthodox advice I shed about 28 lbs in the first 5 weeks, then carried on consistently dropping 3.5lbs a week until hitting about 150lbs within about 4-5 months.

Felt great and kept it off until quite a few years later were i drank heavily.

I am now about 215lbs (6 years later), but in this time have worked out a lot and take smaller jeans than when i was 200lbs all of those years ago, though 100% wanna shift about 40lbs.

I am thinking of reverting back to the crazy low cal system, but there seems to be loads of shit out there suggesting it can ‘damage you’ / fuck you up in numerous ways.

Is it probably fine to do (don’t get me wrong I know your not a doctor etc !), especially until i get within a stone or so of target weight, or do you think its a pretty dickless approach to losing it?

Reason I am contemplating going this way as, one its simple, 2 i pop modafinil for focusing which kills my appetite anyway, and 3 i find consistant weight loss motivating.

Appreciate its a bit of a rant, but thanks for reading!

PS: Beer /alcohol calories, so much conflicting stuff out there, one second 2 pints is a big mac, the next the calories can’t be stored, are you a drinker yourself? and what are your thoughts?

Cheers man!

Btw thank you so much for responding and for all of your help!!!

I’m working on eating more fruits to get some fiber in but for now it’s been hard for me. Can someone achieve a washboard flat stomach without enough fiber?
