AmishGirl vs. itpdude Diet!

[AmishGirl]

Okay ... who will hit their goal weight first???

Weigh in tomorrow for me - I didn't weigh myself this morning.

AmishGirl's goal weight - 110 Pounds.

[itpdude]

I started on Monday, 10/1/12.

Measurements; 10/1/12:
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 207 lb

Goal: 185 lb

Weight; 10/3/12 at 8:45: 203

The 4 lbs is mostly shit I imagine.

[itpdude]

I'll try to weigh myself at basically the same time of the day. There are daily fluctuations that mess with the "real" number.

How I'm doing it is for the next 2 weeks (now only 12 days) is to replace all my regular meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with Spiru-Tein meal replacements. You can find them at GNC. They have a ton of vitamins and protein in them (100% of your daily recommendations for almost all of them listed in one serving). Each serving, because I use whole milk and a tall glass full, is around 300 calories. For an evening snack I allow myself a 12 oz bag of steamed vegetables. In tonight's case, a 12 oz package of Brussels sprouts. That is 4 servings at 45 calories a serving coming to 180 calories.

So, right now I'm at about 1080 calories a day.

After 2 weeks I start to come off the diet a little bit and make a vegetable soup, allow myself a dinner with bulgar wheat or brown rice on the side, etc. When I get there, I'll let you know what I'm doing.

Until then, I'm in the miserable zone of three meal replacements with steamed veggies.

Oh, I also spray the veggies with no-cal butter spray. It helps.

[itpdude]

Oh yeah, and no booze. None whatsoever. I do allow myself caffeinated coffee. Black.

It helps with metabolism and also gives me something "bad" I can drink.

An club soda with a splash of bitters.

[itpdude]

As far as the wine goes, I wonder if you can get a nice juice, an organic one with fresh fruit, that would quell the wine cravings.

Another thing, I don't recommend my diet for women. I wrestled in hs and learned how to cut weight there and believe males have bodies that can accommodate rapid weight-loss more easily. Remember, women naturally have a higher fat ratio than men.

If you ever take those things, drink a TON of water. I wouldn't recommend them, EVER. If you're severely obese, OK, but still drink TONS of water.

Jesus, I weigh almost 207.

I was around 200 lb when I stopped weighing myself. A few cook-outs and untold beers later, I'm at 207.

I gotta put this train in reverse or I'll be in buying-new-clothes territory.

The pills scare me because previous pills have been linked to a lot of bad shit. Remember that fen-phen shit?

I want to lose weight but would rather not be left with a fit body but a bad ticker.

Shit, you only have 10 lbs to take off. You should be able to have that off in a month if you do an all meal replacement with veggie snacks at night for 2 weeks and another 2 weeks of 2 shakes a day and a reasonable dinner along with walks.

And no booze. You can't have booze, dammit!

You're 3 inches taller than me.

Bad all around.

What's your ideal weight for your body-type? I kind of have a medium/large build with the emphasis on medium so around 185 is right for me. I know guys your height who are right at 185 but they have decidedly large builds.

Those things, Xantax or Phen? :dunno:

Okay ... for the sake of the challenge, I'll do it!!

[itpdude]

I wouldn't but hey, be our guinea pig by all means!

[Estocada]

Stay away from those pills that promise miracles with no work. Intellectually, we all know that just can't happen. Just eat a little better and a little less and do moderate exercise, you'll get there. Anyway, it is getting towards winter now, so you can transform under a sweatshirt anyway, unless you are going on a vacation or something.

I'm just trying to say you have time to do it right, even if it is a little slower.

Congrts to you both for taking the challenge and I know you'll do it!
