My friend and I are slim, but we eat a lot of junk food and so we decided to follow a method to remove all of the bad things in our body. Here is what we’re supposed to do (I’ll summarize as much as i can)
what i am supposed to do: 1) Drink Fresh lime or lemon juice with maple syrup and cayenne pepper mixed with water and drunk up to 12 times a day.

2) Drink herbal laxative tea is taken twice a day, morning and night.

3)Internal salt-water baths.

4)No other food is consumed.

* This regimen can be followed for 10 days, or possibly longer and depends upon a person’s physical condition.
And it takes another 4 days to break the thing.

They said:
1st day:
Drink several 8 oz. glasses of orange juice as desired throughout the day. Drink slowly.
2nd day:
Drink several 8 oz. glasses of orange juice throughout the day, dilute with water if necessary.
Afternoon: prepare vegetable soup (recipe below).
Evening: drink vegetable broth. Some of the vegetables may be eaten.
3rd day:
Morning: orange juice.
Noon: Vegetable soup as desribed earlier.
Evening: Vegetables, fruit, salad. No animal food or processed/ refined foods should be eaten (e.g. meat, milk, fish, eggs, bread, coffee, tea)
4th day:
Normal eating may be taken up again.
Btw we’re both 17..are we too young?

well im east indian from india and im a vegetarian ( meat and eggs aren’t cooked at my home. though i have them outside. not to be confused with vegan)
for breakfast:
i usually have some oat biscuits and boost as my stomachs really sensitive in morning and i feel weird if i have a heavy breakfast. i make eggs when no ones there at my home. sometimes i have idli ( which is basically a steamed dish made out of pulses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idli ) with coriander or sweet ginger dip
for lunch:
i have white rice with boiled lentils and spinach, one stir fried vegetable, coconut or eggplant chutney and mostly i eat this chutney made of special leaves called kenaf leaves http://www.hindu.com/mp/2005/10/08/stories/2005100800350300.htm
and this soup like thing made out of tamarind, garlic, curry leaves, oregano, tomatos and other spices which tastes sweet. i finish it up with a glass diluted yoghurt with mint and one fruit. we use little oil in our dishes. and i come from south where its rare we eat "curry". but we use lots of coconut and very little spices in our dishes

once a week i binge on chips. sometimes i have instant noodles or soup. i have 2 glasses of green tea with ginger and honey everyday

for dinner:
sometimes rice with a vegetable ( usually potato) and a bowl of yoghurt and a banana
and other times i have roti http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti with a vegetable dish, yoghurt and a banana
i usually eat out at subway on saturdays and have chinese or italian on sundays. its rare i eat out at mcdonalds or kfc. i usually stick to indian junk food. i eat meat once in fortnight
do i need to include anything else in my diet? your suggestions?
oh and btw. i don’t really work out or anything but i walk and run about a lot everyday. i am 5′9 tall and weigh 54 kgs and well toned i guess. was thinking of joining yoga classes near my home.
and its rare i eat chocolates or pastries. i hate desserts. but i love cheese and butter

I love peanut butter, but I am really trying to reduce the amount of junk food I eat. Is a spoonful of peanut butter a day okay? I know it is high in fat, and it is also high in protein. Or should I just cut out all peanut butter in my diet?? Thanks
I really enjoy Good Earth herbal tea…what are it’s benefits (if anyone knows)?

Hi All,

I’m about 177cm tall usually a thin build (not anymore) and it seems that my metabolism is catching up to me.. straight to my butt and thighs…and the most depressing my tummy! ;( (I’ve always had a flat tummy… not anymore!!) and it was bound to happen since I LOVE junk food eg Hungry Jacks, McDonalds, chinese, all that stuff..

So it’s been two days into this "eating right" schedule and im starving!! (but i havent been eating crap for 2 days!) my diet comprises of:

- lean meats (mostly fish)
- veggies (baked mushrooms and others)
- Celery with Hummus dip (snack)
- Three bean mix (washed and drained)
- Oats (in the morning)
- Tea ( with low fat milk)
- 2litres of water a day

and 30 mins of treadmill exercise (running and power-walking) a night – 5 days a week

Will these MASSIVE changes take effect and help me lose weight?

I hope all of these sacrifices I’m making will work !!
amy_27, I’m positive it’s emotional hunger.. when I’m angry I get very hungry!

I will get over it.. thanks for your advice guys

First off, I am not fat. I wouldn’t use this word to describe anyone of my size. I am 5′4.5", 130 lbs, and a size 4-6. I’m not skinny, that’s for sure, but I believe I am a healthy, average, normal, American Caucasian, 19 year old girl.
I don’t over eat, I don’t eat much meat, dairy, or white carbs. I don’t indulge myself in junk food, but I do enjoy a sweet every now and then.
I admit I could be a lot more active, but I wouldn’t say I am a completely lazy and sits on my ass all day. I am usually out and about doing something.
I do enjoy tennis, swimming, bike riding, etc… but getting up for a run every morning or reps just ins’t my cup of tea.
I used to be extremely skinny while growing up. People used to call me peanut, bean, stringbean, toothpick, etc. They told me I needed to put some muscle on my bones. It all changed when I turned 16, went on birth control, and well…. grew up.

My boyfriend of 6 months, is 24, Chinese(I find this important to point out, because it is common knowledge, that asians tend to be leaner), and in decent shape. He works out when he finds time, and really cares a lot about his physical appearance and health. He doesn’t however have the healthiest diet, but he also doesn’t pig out(non-asian cuisine).

When I met him I was the same size I am now. Less than 2 months into the relationship he started making comments about my weight, that made me feel really insecure about myself. He never went about it the right way, and always ended up digging himself a bigger ditch. He insists he finds me sexy, but tells me if I lost weight, our sex life would improve(it is however… amazing). He complains that I am lazy and doesn’t understand why I wouldn’t want to change for him if I liked him so much. I know guys are very visual, but I am not any different from when he met me. If he preferred skinnier girls, why didn’t he go for them?

I’m not saying I won’t lose weight, and I’m not saying he is completely wrong for wanting me at my best… but he makes me feel like a fat ugly loser. Sometimes to the point where I actually cry, but he doesn’t even see what’s wrong. If I want to lose weight, I want to do it for myself, not him. I like the way I am now, and I don’t want him to pressure me so much to be smaller.

How should I confront him with my feelings? He doesn’t understand me when I say "I want to change for myself, not you".
I don’t want tips on losing weight. I’m quite happy the way I am. Thanks, but no thanks.

i’m craving chicken and broccolli from chinese food, a hot dog, chocolate chip cookies, a big chocolate caramel bar, a twix bar, a huge bag of onion and garlic chips, and a big iced tea.

i’ve been on a diet for about a week and lost like 3 pounds so far.

PROBLEM :
i’m suddenly allergic to caffeine, and i get really bad panic attacks when i have caffeine/sugar/greasy food, so bad i have to go to the hospital, so i can’t have a small chocolate bar or a couple of cookies to ease my craving. but i’m craving it SO BAD!!!!!! but i can’t. do oatmeal cookies have caffeine? also, do you think m&m’s peanuts have caffeine? like a lot of it? theres barely any chocolate in it.

what kind of JUNK FOOD can i eat? FOOD!! and SNACKS!! i really need a cheat day. i’m going crazy.

Okay, so before anything, I’m going to tell you, I’m 17 years old, 5 feet, and 120 pounds.
I want to be 110 pounds.

I don’t excercise, the only excercise I get is that I walk a LOT. About two miles a day, sometimes three, sometimes only one.

I’ve only been dieting for a week.
Before this week, my meals were TERRIBLE. all junk food, chips chocolate cookies like 10 servings of it a day, pizza chinese food fried food iced tea all of that good yummy stuff! But I had a reality check and realized my stomach isn’t as flat as I want it to be, and my thighs aren’t as thin as I want them to be.

So I cut off all junk food, I’m putting in more vegetables and fruits in my diet, and cut off all sugary drinks.
But I’m afraid I might be eating too much…
My scale says I’ve lost 3 pounds over the week, but my scale does that sometimes. And by the end of the night I’m back at 120 pounds anyways.

This was my food today :
Lunch : half a turkey hero with muenster cheese, lettuce and olives, and half a tuna hero with muenster cheese, lettuce and olives (i had turkey, my mom had tuna, we switched halves)

Than for a snack, I had a kiwi and a banana

For dinner, I had two lean pieces (size of the palm of my hand, but thin like card board) of pork, bbq’ed corn on the cob, half of a potato, grilled with garlic and onion powder (first time trying them, delicious! no oil or anything! just on the BBQ grill! yum! are they fattening?), and a half a cup of beans

I had a lot of water today, I’ve been drinking a lot of water.

Is this too much food?

Also.. for a snack later, since it’s still early and I get hungry often.. my mom made home made soft pretzels and i want one sooooo bad.. is it okay if i eat this? i haven’t had a snack in a weeeeeeek!

will i lose any weight eating like this? or at least mantain my weight? i only want to lose 10 pounds!

Breakfast : brownie with milk
Lunch : chinese food
Snack : two bags of chips and two bars of chocolate and a large iced tea
Dinner : three big pieces of fried chicken with two potatoes as french fries to myself
Than more chocolate for dessert

YEP.. And I managed to NOT be overweight with eating like this ALL MY LIFE. I guess I’m lucky.
Anyways, I’m not 100% satisfied with my body. I really would love to be a tad bit thinner, just 10 pounds!

So I cut off all junk food, I’m putting in more vegetables and fruits in my diet, and cut off all sugary drinks.

i’m 17, 116 pounds (was 120 last week) and trying to go down to 110 pounds. (i’m only 5 feet tall, lol!)

i think i’ve been eating pretty good! i definately cut out all junk food and stuff! my old meals were like, chinese food with a large iced tea for lunch, than chicken cutlets french fries and cheese for dinner, and like two chocolate bars and two bags of chips for dessert (not even kidding. delicious, and i wasn’t even overweight. but i’m a little chubby now and i want to change that!)

SO ANYWAYS …………..

today i woke up late, 12:30 PM

around 1:30 PM i had a sandwich (two slices of bread, not a hero or anything, regular slices for toast), it was white bread =/ i ran out of wheat .. i had tuna fish, about half a can, with just a little bit of light mayo, cause i’m not a fan of mayo anyways. i put cheddar cheese slices =/ and some olives and lettuce on it, and ate it.
afterwards i ate a kiwi., around 2:30.

at 6:30, i had about a cup of spinach mixed with rice, it’s like a greek dish, i THINK it’s healthy for you…

and for dinner i’m gonna have chicken breast, probably grilled.. with corn on the cob and like a cup of mashed potatoes.

and for dessert i have a banana.

is this too much food? too many calories? i did about 100 crunches and i’m gonna walk about a mile or two later.

and is it okay if i eat ONION AND GARLIC WISE chips? it’s like not even 200 calories for the whole 50 cent bag. is it okay? or is it too many calories?

am i eating okay????
