TheAnvil 0 #1 June 24, 2004 ...agreeing to go on a diet again. My friend's wife asked me to cajole him into going on a diet she found. I acquiesced, like an idiot, and ended up agreeing to do it with him in order to get him to do it. I am on day three of three and am hungry as hell. I want a big juicy hamburger and a beer RIGHT THE F&%! now! I am all grouchy due to hunger...and I'm not easily grouchified. Tomorrow, if I don't die of hunger, I am going to get his dumb ass and make him work out with me. He's not stopping until he has puked or drowned. Then I'm going to go over to his house with a ton of Taco Bell, a case or two of beer, and a bottle of Patron to get revenge on his wife. Vengeance will be mine, saith TheAnvil [/rant of hunger and grouchiness]Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

kelel01 1 #3 June 24, 2004 Vinny, I know exactly how you feel. I've been on a diet for two weeks, and I'm about to go completely schizo. I'm about to say "Fuck it!" and just be fat and happy. Or maybe just fat. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #4 June 24, 2004 I'm not on a diet anymore. I wanna get LAP-band surgery (similar to gastric bypass) but i'm not fat enough. So i need to gain like 100 pounds to qualify for the surgery. Finally, an excuse to eat and get fat!! ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaoskitty 0 #5 June 24, 2004 I would have to quit drinking in order to lose weight.. so instead I quit eating and just save my calories for alcohol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #6 June 24, 2004 TWO WEEKS!?!?!?!?! No way! You are one dedicated woman - I would never have agreed to that. This is a three day thing some idiot from Birmingham came up with - an idiot whose life is now in danger should I meet them in the next few hours. Here is what I've had today (day 3 of 3) Breakfast: three saltine crackers, one small apple, coffee, and a slice of cheddar cheese Lunch: hard boiled egg and 1/2 cup of tuna and some tea I forget what dinner is, but don't care because it won't be enough. My friends wife OWES me for this. I haven't been this hungry in a long time. He's bitching about it too, so I know he's stuck with it. He's an out of shape fatass and needed to lose weight anyway. I'm so hungry I'm dizzy. wlie - I 'm getting that book. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Conundrum 1 #8 June 24, 2004 The key to a good diet is no to starve yourself. It is to eat the right things and exercise. Why people think they need to starve to death is beyond me. It does more harm than good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheAnvil 0 #10 June 24, 2004 Thanks Chelle! I agree, but promised I would follow the diet as specified. Hate to admit it, but I have dropped a pound or two, though I didn't run as far as normal last night. Probably becaue I was hungry as hell. When I gained a lot of weight after my car wreck/during rehab, I dropped a lot of lard with that Atkins diet thing. Never really lost all the weight from that or got back into the same shape, but I do know that atkins thing worked.Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

hookitt 1 #11 June 24, 2004 what kind of dumb ass diet are you on that you can't eat? I get to eat so much food I can't pack any more in. Diets suck, nutrition plans don't. Edit: You said Atkins... Bad plan man. Chele is right. Ya gotta eat. If you don't eat enough of the right foods, you have no fuel for the body. If you excersize with out it, you'll quickly expend what's left and start burning muscle instead of fat or calories, and fall on your face. Once you fall, you'll fiend on any thing you can.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does more harm than good. That's why people gain so much weight after the diet ends. They slow down their so much because of lack of food. Eat the same and exercise more has the same effect, without the longstanding misery. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #14 June 24, 2004 How many times will I have to tell people this? Body For Life is the best thing around to do besides maybe getting a nutritionalist to help setup your diet and a personal trainer to help setup your workouts.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Casurf1978 0 #16 June 24, 2004 Viny, You're shocking your body into starvation mode. If what you put up is what you eat, hell your bods freaking out right now. You're doing more harm than good. Tell your friends wife to go see a nutrionist and talk to em. Crash diets like that never work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #17 June 25, 2004 I've read both books... didn't see much difference between the two, to be honest. Limit your intake of "bad" sugars, make healthier food choices, portion control, exercise... they both are very similar... just a different path to get there.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

bdev 0 #18 June 25, 2004 QuoteI've read both books... didn't see much difference between the two, to be honest. I hope you don't mean Atkins and Body for Life there ! One is the right way, the other one isn't! I'm with AggieDave on this one! Understanding metabolism isn't rocket science, and eating that little food isn't gonna do much apart from starve your body --- One life...Use it.

mnealtx 0 #19 June 27, 2004 Yep, I was comparing the two.... And please, show me how BFL is the "right way" compared to Atkins? As I said, in basic principles, there's not much difference between the two except intake of complex carbs. Let me pose a question: If I am controlling the amount of "bad sugars" (junk food stuff), using portion control (which both books espouse - don't stuff yourself), and exercise.... why is it so important that I take in my carbs via bread/rice/potatoes rather than from increasing my intake of salad/veggies?Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

SarahC07 0 #21 June 27, 2004 So, who thinks what about the South Beach Diet? I recommend reading the book... even if you don't plan on following the diet. I AM following south beach right now... hope it works... I'll let you know in a week or so...
