Had approximately 1000 calories from Chinese takeout (ate about half the serving, going to finish rest tomorrow but there will be more rice and less of the other stuff than there was today because the rice was at the bottom of the container).
But anyway, I just weighed myself (at about 11pm) and was 144.4 so that's 4.4 down since I started this and hopefully I'll be down to 144 in the morning (143.8 being even better) which is nearly (or is) a 5 lb loss in 4 days! Which if it is at least 5 down that gives me 18 days to lose about 7 lbs...and that's only 1 lb every 2 1/2 days (or about 3 lbs a week).
Definitely best diet I've been on for awhile...eating throughout the day just makes me hungrier...probably because instead of eating until I'm full I have to split calories up between so many different meals (normally 5 or 6) which is only about 80-250 calories per meal. But since I'm not eating until I'm full when I do it that way I wind up being even hungrier the next time I eat and so on which leads to cheating/binging before bed because I feel more deprived that way because I'm never full. Eating once a day (trying for around 4-5 pm) I can have as much or as little as I need to feel full. And I find it a lot easier because I'm not spending as much time (if any) calculating calories and figuring out when I'm allowed to eat next. And if I start feeling lightheaded or as though I'm going to pass out, coffee or tea (maybe with milk and sweetener which is only about 20 cals) tends to help (and warms me up).
But anyway, off to read a bit (although I should be sewing) before bed. Later people :)

  1. are you planning on doing this for the rest of your life to maintain your weight? always considering you might pass out or feel lightheaded from malnutrition? that sounds rough. are you keeping track of your carbs too? you should, so you can see if they have anything to do with when you lose more weight. studies on animals have shown that cutting calories produces negligible results if carbohydrate intake remains constant.

  2. carbs are harder to get approximates for. And I used to eat like this up until about 2 years ago when I lived with my sisters and she would make me eat (even stuff that made me gag like cauliflower) and it wasn't until I started eating every couple of hours where I started having health problems

  3. i doubt health problems would occur based on eating schedule; most likely it was food choice. and youd have to eat a heck of a lot to have health problems for consuming too much.

  4. Well that's where you're wrong. When I was 11 I was 5' tall and about 160 lbs. Aside from asthma I had no health problems. Maybe twice a week I would maybe have about a cup of cereal (normally fruit loops) and that was around 7am if not earlier. Then pretty much everyday around 5 supper which was normally mashed potatoes, normally creamed corn, beans or peas then usually hotdogs or liver. then around 8 or 9 normally 1/2 a dozen cookies. So I was overweight but had nothing wrong because of my weight (which was all checked quite often because of my weight). Then that summer (so shortly before I turned 12) I cut out breakfast completely, had the same supper but had the cookies with it instead of later. Within the year I went down to 135 and grew 2". Stayed at 135 eating whatever I wanted from about 13-17/18 (most of the time pizza, cookies and pasta). Then when I moved in with my sister breakfast was normally oatmeal or toast and jelly or peanut butter, around lunch was normally half a sub or a taco and some fries through the week, some kind of soup or sandwich on the weekend, a piece of fruit or cereal bar after school, a lot of times pasta (about 1/2 cup-1cup)or steak and potatoes, snacked on fruits or fro yo throughout the evening, then popcorn before bed. Went back up to 160 (sometimes up to 170), was 5'3 by this time and had high blood pressure, even worse asthma, anxiety, etc. And yet I had less of the "bad foods" such as pasta, pizza and cookies.
    I will agree that my weight has to do with the wrong foods, but not so much the health problems since I only started getting serious health problems after eating more often.

  5. its very unlikely those things had anything to do with how often you ate. did a doctor tell you thats what did it?
