Manticore Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) Actually, anything most of you guys tried apparently works, for the simple reason that calories have been reduced enough so you aren't able to maintain your present weight. Watch out, though, because drastic weight loss is mostly water in the beginning (the first two to four days, to be precise.) After which, depending on the macronutrient content of your food intake, weight loss might not necessarily come from fat, but actually muscle and organ tissue. If you'd like to reduce calories, then it would be healthier to maintain the proper proportions of each macronutrient, i.e., protein, carbohydrate, fat, including fiber, water, and micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) while reducing overall portions. Realistically, the body cannot lose more than 1 1/2 lbs. (from excess fat) in a week. That's the absolute limit. Anything more would seriously compromise your health. Aim for getting through the next 4 to 6 hours without starving. That's how much food that your body can efficiently convert to, and completely consume as fuel. Drastic weight loss may even be counterproductive, because the calories burned from exercise will be less, owing to a reduced metabolism which is your body's means of protecting itself. Don't be misled by "quick fixes." There's a hefty price to pay for it. Work with your body; not against it. Fine tuning your metabolism requires that you be sensitive to how your body responds to your eating habits. Eat when you're hungry. Do it slowly; it takes approximately 20 min. for the brain to know you've had enough. Don't eat until you're full, though; just enough to appease your hunger. It's a simple, yet elegant means by which your body guides you on how to obtain proper nourishment. Don't confuse hunger with cravings, though; hunger is a biological response, while cravings are driven primarily by emotions. The clue lies on the choice of food you crave for; they are very specific and more often than not, unhealthy. Starvation will also trigger ravenous appetite. By keeping your body properly nourished, you prevent yourself from being at the mercy of your urges. Keep your efforts manageable. Set realistic goals. Measure your progress. Consistency is key. Treat any backsliding as minor setbacks, and continue on as before. Once you get in the swing of things, your momentum will carry you through. Hopefully, this becomes not just a means of attaining your desired weight, but form part of a healthy lifestyle. Weight loss may be your short-term goal, but in the end, it's all about making the right choices. Edited February 18, 2005 by Manticore Quote Link to comment

fortune_cookie Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) Taking psyllium husks can help. A number of local brands of psyllium husks are now available, the more popular one is C-lium Fiber. Psyllium husks contains loads of fiber, so it helps food taken with it to be pushed out instead of being absorbed by the body. So less fat, carbo, and even nutrients wil be absorbed by the body. What's more, psyllium husks can be very filling, thus one will be inclined to take less food. I try not to take it with every single meal i have as my body might be deprived of vital nutrients. so what i do is i only take it just before lunch and supper. i don't take it on breakfast since i don't eat a lot anyway on mornings, and then i also take my vitamins and other herbal supplements with my breakfast for better absorbtion.

Wendigo7 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Na-try na ba ninyo 'to? It works talaga! Lost 8 kilos in 5 weeks. Only side effect is you'll feel very very tired during the first 3 weeks but gradually your body will adapt. Quote Link to comment
Google Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 hmm. technically it will work. but where will you get your energy that you need to do your daily tasks? you will only get that from carbs. imho, not for active people. Quote Link to comment
