Very Low Calorie Diets
- Thread starter August
- Start date
Fruit...like an apple or orange for breakfast and lunch.
Fish and lots of veggies (carrots, broccoli, green beans, asparagus, etc) as a side. Fish is grilled or fried with minimum of oil and no breading, veggies are steamed and have a little bit of salt or salt substitute. You can have tons of veggies, but only 1 serving of fish. Trout, wild salmon, tuna are all good.
Snacks can be fruit or raw veggies like baby carrots.
Take a multi vitamin to ensure you get the proper nutrients.
Key is to eat stuff that will keep you feeling full, so lots of fiber.

In case your were looking for tips, and not just a "man I feel you" (btw, man, I feel you):
A Kilo a day? That is only water! Make sure to stay at realistic and healthy goals, like 1/2 kg every week and track them long term.
Drink enough, you will loose a lot of weight simply by doing so.
Don't eat less than your minimum no-work required kcal, which should be around 2000kcal for your average male 80-90kg gamer, over longer periods of time.
Plan a stabilization period of at least the time you took to reduce your weight during which you continue to track your calorie input and output.
Apart from that, whatever Thalstan said. I wouldn't generalize that to all veggies though. For example, avocados, apples and corn have a suprising lot of calories.
I'd recommend non-fatty beef steaks (for example filet), best paired with no potatoes and green beans. I can eat that for a long time until I get fed up ;)
Edit: I just realized you are Australian! EAT ALL THE KANGAROOS! And the camels. I hear camel burgers are great. Maybe crocodiles?

I've recently started drinking lots of water since I was dehydrated. I started drinking enough that I'm not as hungry between meals and drinking more while eating meals to fill up sooner. I've lost like 5 pounds a week, but I'm peeing a ton.
I’m targeting about 3000kj a day which is pretty rough, but I’m hoping that with sufficient protein I can minimise muscle loss. I put on a stack of weight over winter - a lot of it was fat (no supplements). Now I’ve got the fun of cutting it back again.
In future I won’t eat like that again over the winter months. “Bulking” without assistance means a metric fuck-tonne of fat.

I'm down 48 pounds now. So much brown rice and chicken....

My opinion: would you run a car without gas or oil?
There is some interesting early research on fasting on health and medical conditions. I just can't do it! That said, I like making sure I don't eat anything past 8pm at night, and then I usually don't have anything but coffee before 9am. 12-13 hours is about as long as I can fast!

Keto and intermittent fasting has worked really well for me and several people I know.

I've dropped 30 lbs since april.
From 200 lbs to 170.
I used to look like a golf ball standing on toothpicks.
You were white and covered in dimples with tan legs?
Something something weird bug we all remember with the player character turning into a golfball?
HA, this is something my American colleagues always complained about when in Germany - Germans are used to eating way more fiber. This is also a reason we regularly clog Hotel toilets when overseas. German sewage water pipes have twice the diameterWhat about pearlfish?
Just don't eat too much fiber.
Well. That was ... informative.HA, this is something my American colleagues always complained about when in Germany - Germans are used to eating way more fiber. This is also a reason we regularly clog Hotel toilets when overseas. German sewage water pipes have twice the diameter
I apologize sincerely! Please look at this picture of two cats snuggeling until the pain subsides:
LOL, I've always thought it would be better to have bigger plumbing in toilets and so forth. No clogs if the whole load fits sideways.HA, this is something my American colleagues always complained about when in Germany - Germans are used to eating way more fiber.

LOL, I think I learned of bigger plumbing over there when someone mentioned about the toilets with shelves and scales. Some American guy said he hated peeing in those toilets because you had to sit or it would splatter everywhere and he didn't know why it had the shelf until someone explained.
I disapprove of the treatment of the sausage in the first picture!LOL, I've always thought it would be better to have bigger plumbing in toilets and so forth. No clogs if the whole load fits sideways.

Yeah, I would rather eat the sausage. Been a while since I've had a hotdog using a smoked sausage and cheese rolls as a bun, those are so good. They're so big and tasty.
Just going to say all the talk of delicious meat is really helping with the hunger pains.
You bastards.
