Best Diet

[Lamdan]

I lost 40 pounds in 3.5 months.

i beg to differ. check out tim ferriss, he has a book called the 4 hour body that i have personally used and lost 48 pounds in 3 months without exercise

The question is how much did you weigh before the diet, it makes a huge difference. In order for a post to be helpful in a diet conversation, please note the percentage of total weight, it's the only thing that matters - not pounds.

Same here.
Stick with water/seltzer.

What do you think about adding a 1/6th of OJ or grape juice into the seltzer?

Not ideal, but if that's the only way you won't drink soda/pop then so be it.

Why not try squeezing a lemon into it? Or even fruit infused water?

Empty calories.  Squeeze some fresh Limes, Lemons, or Oranges into the seltzer for flavor instead.

Do squeezed oranges have less calories than OJ?

I already don't like what I see with this tim ferris guy, he very obviously wrote his own wikipedia page, sounds like a scam artist to me. But let me dig a little more.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Ferriss

"The 4-Hour Body was an immediate bestseller and debuted at #1 on The New York Times Best Seller list.[8] It peaked at #4 on both the Wall Street Journal and USA Today's lists, and was one of Amazon.com's top 5 bestselling books for December 2010 and January 2011.[59][60][61] As part of the press for the book, Ferriss appeared on Dr. Oz as well as as a guest on ABC's The View.[62][63]"

Who else writes that but your own PR guy.


"In 2008, he was named Wired's "Greatest Self-Promoter of All Time."[97] "

That's not exactly the kind of guy I wanna hear advice from.

Stop it I just am not gonna change my lifestyle and listen to a guy who clames to have a 4hour body and a four hour workweek, it just seems like his next book is going to be the 4 hour cure to cancer. If it worked for you - Kol Hakavod.

@Emkay, I just ordered the 4 hr. body from the library. As Wired mag says he is the best self promoter of all time, I just couldn't resist!

I went from 223-183, over several years. I exercise a lot more and eat a lot more fruit. Cutting out beer helps too, but I do enjoy it so. For me, exercise is the key. I have a HRM which is great because now I can workout until I reach my goal, 600 calories a work out or so. I try to do that 4 times a week. remember one pound is 3000 calories. So it takes 5, 600 calorie workouts to shed one pound. So, if you excercise 5 days a week and do not change your eating habits then you can loose one pound a week, which is reasonable and healthy. If you cut out sugar and alcohol you will probably double that.
