Haii Guys! I recently experimented with a diet and let me tell you, it worked for me :D i went from around 170 pounds to about 160 pounds :] Here was my diet change : Instead of Junk Food : Cereal and fruits or a small salad with a little amount of dressing. Instead of Soda : Water and sometimes juice Instead of fast food : eat home cooked food, less oily and fat. Instead of Sitting at the computer and just roaming around the internet (like youtube) : See how many push ups i cando in 1 minute (Currently 25). The MAIN food that helped : Congee (Asian rice porridge): 1/2 cup rice, 2 ~ 5 cups water depending on how wet you want it to be, and a pinch of salt. Additionals : add in a few chunks of fish or ANY meat that doesn't give off bad oil (like pork). Vegetables can also be added like carrots and potatoes. Should be no more than 900 calories since it's mostly water[that is if you didn't go crazy with the other ingredients] -This one thing should last you for AT LEAST a day. When finished making, it comes out to be a lot. Also, you can add other things besides meat and vegetable. Heck, i tried with pineapple and it was still edible. Breakfast : i usually don't eat breakfast, but it seems you need to in order to lose weight properly. It became a fruit. It does help since i feel more awake after eating something. BIG MEALS : Replaced with fat-free organic milk and cereal. Cereal has a lot of vitamins and minerals and a serving or two of it usually gives you enough vitamins and minerals for the day. Comes out to be about 500 calories total. A regular lunch or dinner usually is much higher. When I went binging : a few pieces of DARK chocolate to start off with. It somehow helps me to calm my appetite. If I'm still hunrgy, i either drink a bottle of water or eat an apple. Don't eat late. I stopped eating once it passed 10:00pm. Since I'm usually not active at all, I don't actually need anything and since i eat dinner at 9, i don't get hungry. With the self-made congee and the change of items to my diet, i managed to cut calorie intake from 2400 to about 1600 a day :D. I'd recommend this diet to anyone that wants to cut weight fast. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :]

That rice thing is 900 calories? You know that you're only supposed to have like 2000 daily

I do something like that, but with a lot of protein and whole grains since I'm working out a couple of times a week.

Bodysnatchers said: "That rice thing is 900 calories? You know that you're only supposed to have like 2000 daily" That the "recommended" amount to maintain your weight. Most people's recommended intake of calories vary by about 200. Besides the rice thing only acted as a meal. Served as lunch AND dinner. With snacks inbetween, it came out to be more than the MUST calorie [1500 for men, 1200 for women] and below the recommended. The result from that was that i lost weight at a healthy rate.

The threadstarter's bubbly personality reminds me of my youthful childhood. Then I realized that happiness cannot persist in this world. Anyways, good job Crackking on finding something to be proud about. Update me once you become a model for Maxim.

900 calories? A Big Mac has like 300 calories or something. That's horrible. o.o

l0lipop3 said: "I think body fay matters more then weight." That IS TRUE. I did lost body fat since i do push ups and sit ups on a daily basis. ExpiredCondom said: "So .. eating healthier foods instead of junk foods? Go fig." Not necessarily true. Cereal and juice both have a high amount of sugar content. The key to this diet was liquid like milk and water.
