If I were doing that
you'd be a manga cartoon in a sailor outfit. IT standards are fucked up.

i'm smug about how many pounds have dropped off me in the starvation process
so no sailor outfit today, sorry

I was pretty sceptical about that as you know
but it does seem to work, so fair play.
( Kroney, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 10:55, Reply)

it works if you do it in short bursts but focus in the long-term on eating well and hammering the gym
it doesn't work if you are a twat that thinks it's a magic fix and afterwards you can go back to troughing 10,000 calories a day, and never gain another ounce. because if you do, right, if you do, it's NOT YOUR FAULT. IT'S THE DIET'S FAULT.

people are idiots.

( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 10:59, Reply)

How come he gets "lovely"
and I get "filthy manwhore"?
( Kroney, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:00, Reply)

because he is lovely to me
and you are a filthy manwhore.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:01, Reply)

I am lovely and I am NOT a filthy manwhore.
Just ask Al! He says I can't get girls for love nor money, therefore I can't *possibly* be a manwhore filthy or otherwise.

Stop whingeing like a manwhore.

Stop being so fucking LOVELY, you cunt.

It will work in the short term, but you are training your body to not expect much nutrition, so it panics and tries to hold as much in reserve as possible
It still feels like this when you eat normally again and holds onto energy as fat as it believes it will get starved again, this is why people yoyo in weight
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:00, Reply)

yes, it has to be used wisely and with caution.
lucky i am a very wise and cautious person, and in no way prone to irrationality and impulsive behaviour, eh?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:01, Reply)

No, you've totally misunderstood what he just said simply because you're desperate to believe that the stupid thing you are doing isn't stupid.
By forcing your body into a starvation state your body reacts by hoarding energy in the future, so you go back to eating a sensible amount, but you'll put on more weight than you would if you had not done the starvation bit and just had the normal diet.

Exactly this

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:09, Reply)

I also looked into this Ketosis thing she was talking about
it's the state the inuits are in a lot of the time, but that's because they can't eat a balanced diet as they rely on whale fat. This means they are rubbish sprinters, though your body can adapt to provide long term energy this way, but it's less efficient and not suited to the sort of exercise swipe wants to do.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:12, Reply)

i thought this the first time round - i was cynical that it would come back on twice as fast
but not at all. i put back no more than the usual pound up, pound down fluctuation that everyone has, and i was eating pretty much what i wanted.

i think you have to find what works for you. eg some people who do this kind of diet have 10 stone to lose - are they really going to stick at 1-2lbs a week for 2 years? of course not, they'll get disillusioned and give up.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:18, Reply)

If you didn't put weight back on, then why are you on the diet again?

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:21, Reply)

because i wanted to lose about another stone
unfortunately the skinny bits are getting skinnier and the bits i hate aren't shrinking. next stop harley street.

no
i hate my hooter and my hooters. but there isn't a diet on the planet that will shrink the former, and the latter are proving stubborn. i'm just seriously squeamish, so doubt i'd ever have the guts to go through with it.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:33, Reply)

Life is far too short to get obsessed with that shit
Decent eating and exercise habits is all that's needed. Stop worrying about stuff that no one else even notices.

but other people
shallower people DO notice and they make you feel bad about yourself. even when you know that logically they are the cunts with the problem.

When people are that overweight they lose weight more quickly at first
but with a generally healthy person, if you're losing more than a kilo or so a week, it's not good and is probably mostly water.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 7 Sep 2012, 11:24, Reply)

it's about 3lbs a week on average
