I've been on a diet where I consume anywhere from 700-1200 calories a day, and burn 1000-2000 calories via treadmill, biking and medicine ball exercises. I noticed this was helping me go from 198 to 180, but then it stopped working. So, for the past two weeks my weight hasnt went down, meanwhile I am eating very little and exercising like crazy (7 mile bike rides + 1 hour on the treadmill everyday). I figured i was taking enough calories so it was my body telling me I needed more fuel if I want to lose weight and I went to 1200-2000 calories a day, and the same level of exercise. Still no good. I'm gonna go on a liquid diet until I reach 170. This liquid smoothie diet. The smoothie will consist of:

grounded flaxseed
fiber powder
protein powder
1 cup of berries
& grean tea

I will be living off of this drink for the next two weeks. As the time on the diet is winding down I will introduce foods to my body slowly by only eating fruits and veggies. I think overall this will help me transition to veganism as well as lose weight.

Tell me what you guys think.

and which ones are harmfull'

I do mainly cardio and i know my muscles need the carbs cause they are the fuel that is used
i dont what to eat any carbs that means even complex unrefined so the main question is it ok
do i just not eat after and let the diet do the work
or is there some trick i could use (or eat) so i dont feel like i just ran marathon after a hour workout
if it is normal i dont mind feeling the fatigue i just want to lose the weight

ok i am taking stacker 2 and zylotrim! i lift low weights and do VERY high reps everyday i curl about 95 pounds and do 4 sets of 10 i bench 105 in 4 sets of 20! i drink lots of water! i workout with these same things about twice a day. how much progress will be made in a month? and i am 245 and i am overweight! i am noticing that i hav lost about 3inches of chest fat! i am trying to shrink my upper body before the month is over!

I've decided to start working on my belly a bit; however, it seems counter intuitive to start restricting calories right way. To me, it seems to be the quickest way to failure. Afterall, why would I start out by tearing down an already out of shape and inefficient system right out of the gate.

Should I wait until a couple of months before reducing my fuel intake?

What do you guys think?

I've just started taking TrimSpa X32 and it's been giving me major heartburn. Has this happened to anyone else?

I"ve never realy been "fat" but always been kind of chubby. I want to lean down and lose the gut/baby fat left on my face and finally slim down.

My only problem is now that I'm ready, I don't have the time for my diet. A typical day lasts from 6-5 (up at 6, dont get out til 5 thanks to track practice) and I've been living off cereal, sandwiches and the cafeteria at my school is my only fuel for the 9-10 hr day. The food is the least bit healthy; they don't even offer salad.

I already tried packing a lunch, but all there is to pack is just sandwiches. Starving myself isn't an option either, I do sports. A lot of em.

Any suggestions? Should I just stock up on Nutri-grains for the rest of the day? I have prom coming up, I did think I'd be slim by now.

Thanks.

If your taking Trimspa 6 pills a day, in one month how much weight will you lose?

I'm a young guy and recently I've decided to undergo an extended fast in order to quit smoking, (3 years, pack a day) as well as to regain my old level of health.

I was curious what my regular diet should be leading up to that, I'm not picky at all about what I eat (I had my fun over the holidays and willpower isn't an issue).

Doesn't really matter how awful it tastes, I'm just looking at food as fuel for the time, I just need the absolute healthiest way to go about things for before and after the fast.

I've heard raw vegetables and fruits are the way to go (although not sure which ones) and have just been eating those for the last few days, but feels like I'm missing quite a bit in my diet.

Anyways, any recommendations would be great.
I've heard pretty good things about that lemonade drink, but I was planning on a straight water fast.

Also, I would prefer not to take any kits/vitamins/pills/etc.

as for red meat, I've completely given up meat of all sorts. (I used to eat steak regularly, and love it, but was impressed with how I felt after abstaining from it for a while)

This isn't for weight loss (I'm 6"2 and 200 pounds), although I'd expect it would be a nice side effect of a new diet. Moreso I want to increase my energy level, alertness, and clarity while getting back in shape.

this is in preparation for me doing some traveling later this year, and needing to be in absolute top condition.

after 5 or 6 hours after i have my dose of stratera can i take a trimspa for energy and be okay??

If so, how well did it work? In terms of, how soon did you begin to lose weight and how much weight have you or did you lose?
I'm asking if it works. They were sued for false advertisement, because their claims are not supported by the FDA. I understand that part. I want answers from people that tried it. Thank you.
I JUST WANT ANSWERS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRIED IT. THANK YOU.

ok, so iam not over weight at all iam just trying to tone up and lose small amount fat round my midsection quicker with this atkins diet, been at it a week now and excersie every night in some sort of way, cardio, weights crunches etc, my top half is tones the way i want and my tummy is geeting there now, u can see shape..

but my question is my urine is dark colour, i heard this is because iam burning fat instead of carbs for my body fuel... is this right ??
iam drinking loads of water every day at work no fizzy jiuce etc, but it was clear this morning and now its dark colour... i get plenty of fluids...so dont think its lack of water... i drink at least 5 50cl bottles a day and more at home..

I am not hungry all of the time. I have low thyroid, which in turn, messes with my metabolism. I was taking hydroxycut about 3X a week, but switched to trimspa. Any success stories would be nice...

1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.

2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are canceled out by the diet soda.

3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count if you do not eat more than they do.

4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER counts, such as hot chocolate ,brandy, toast and Sara Lee Cheesecake.

5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.

6. Movie related foods do not have additional calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel. Examples: Milk Duds, Buttered Popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots and TootsieRolls.

7. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking causes calorie leakage.

8. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something.

9. Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. Examples are: Spinach & Pistachio Ice Cream; Mushrooms and Mashed Potatoes.

10. Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted for any other food color.

11. Anything consumed while standing has no calories. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.

12. Anything consumed from someone else's plate has no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to his/her plate. (We all know how calories like to cling!)

REMEMBER: STRESSED SPELLED BACKWARDS IS DESSERTS.

ok im 15 years old i play hockey, lacrosse and football and i am 6ft, 183pds. i want to lose a few pounds of fat and try to sacrifice as little muscle as possible. the no carb diet seems impossible for me because i am still growing and i need my minerals and vitamans and i need carbs to fuel me in sports because i am aware of the performance loss in a no carb diet. so my question is will i still be able to lose fat at a semi rapid pace if i eat about six meals a day each meal ranging from 300-500 calories with at least 20g of protein,20gcarbs and little fat and still be able to lose fat while i weightlift,sprint and train in preseason with my football team everyday? thanks

Just wondering.
