Fitness Forum - Doesn't Sound Good to Me

I haven't read about this liquid diet or anything, but by the sounds of it, it's really unhealthy. You say that in the past 2 you've consumed nothing but a hot chocolate? At least that's what I understood from that. First off, hot chocolate is probably not what you want to drink if you're trying to lose weight. Secondly, hot chocolate by no means provides you with the vitamins you need. The reason you're feeling tired could be because you're annemic. Again, I haven't read about this... But it really doesn't sound healthy, unless you're possibly drinking lots of vitamin supplement drinks, and even then. Fruits, etc are good to eat, but remember, even fruits contain sugar. If you want my advice, forget that liquid diet thing, and just go back to eating healthy. Try to aim for only 1 piece of fruit a day, no juices, as people have a hard time controling just how much juice they intake. Although you can bend that if you feel it's necessary. V8 juice is a great suspitute for fruit juice, the original blend, not that splash stuff. Try to keep dinner to around 300 calories, you can buy frozen dinners from michalenas which are only about 280 calories each, eat as much salad and vegetables as you want, just avoid potatoes. You' don't want to lose weight too quickly, or else you could end up with many health problems, and deprive your body of nutrience. Just recently i've started (after consulting my doctor) a vitamin supplement bar program thing. I eat 1 bar for breakfast, 1 for lunch, and a dinner under 300 calories. Roughly consuming 750 calories/day. There's more rules and stuff which i've been bending, but still, despite cheating by drinking alchahol, having the odd piee of chocolate or coke here and there, i've still managed to lose on average 3lbs per week getting no additional excercise other than the basic walking required to get from point a to point b. So far i've experienced no ill effects, and I appear to be doing fine on it. But don't bother depriving yourself of food, otherwise your body will start to presserve it's fat as a survival instinct. On average a human can only last for about 3 weeks without food (3 days without water). Although i'm not sure if that's due to lack of vitamins, etc, or just because there isn't enough calories being taken in to survive, or whatever. Just find a love for salad, broccoli, chicken, and eggs and stick to that and you should do fine, especialy if excercising. Just remember, muscle weighs more than fat, so even if you're not losing weight, you'll still be losing fat and replacing it with muscle. Because of this, I wouldn't recommend weighing yourself, as it will just upset you to learn that even after a week of excercise, you're the same weight, just keep at it and eventualy you'll start to notice that you'll appear thinner and generaly healthier.

Hehe, woops, sorry, meant to post this in the thread by the person asking if her liquid diet thing was healthy :p
