The all-new, all-singing, all-dancing two stone for whenever thread.

Y'know, for all medical science tells you its a bad idea, if you don't eat you lose weight.

Not recommending it, as it will work perfectly well for some and make others seriously ill, but I'm just saying.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is the South Beach Diet? From the little I've heard about it it looks awful, but if your dietician mate likes it then maybe I'm missing something.

I hear American weightloss is the best in the world.

She likes it, but isn't too horribly strict on it.
The initial period is Atkins-style restrictive on things you can/can't eat, but once you get out of the cleansing/detox first two weeks the main tenets of the diet are:
protein, fat, and carbs with every meal.
Depending on which "phase" of the diet you are in details what the ratio of protein:fat:carbs you should be having. Initially you start on high fat, high carbs, low protein and move to a high protein, medium fat, low carb ratio

For an example of meal plan:
Breakfast - 1banana, 8oz orange juice, 1tablespoon of whey protein - blended into a smoothie (yum)
3hrs later - snack. 2 string cheese, 1 apple
3hrs later - lunch. 4oz chicken, 2slices bread, mustard
3hrs later - pre-workout meal. 3oz chicken breast, 1cup rice, salsa
3hrs later - post-workout shake. Can be same as breakfast
1hr later - dinner - 5oz chicken, broccoli

If I'm still up 2-3hrs later, another sandwich for snack

Hmm, quite alot of that I really don't agree with, but if it works for you then cool.

[PapaZeb]

Well, my previous eating habits were:
7am - Candy bar. 200mg of caffeine
11am - 1/2lb chicken tenders (breaded chicken, fried or baked)
4pm - another 200mg of caffeine (does wonders on the appetite)
7pm - sandwich...or depending on hunger, a loaf of bread torn to chunks and dipped in tomato soup or oil/balsamic

so you'd hafta appreciate me doing better ?

[bikuki]

Oh yeh, I can't deny that it's much better than snacking on junk food all day or living off caffiene, but I guess that because it's coming from a nutritionist I'm being more critical.

[Syxx]

I'm gonna have to, to not die start getting my act together after Manchester. Minimal booze, no beer at all, minimal fizzies, and regular fruit and decent sleeping/eating patterns. Whether i can be arsed updating this thread with it i doubt. You're no doubt on the edge of your seats.

[Rowsbette]

I expected that this kinda thread would trigger a whole load of sarky crap. What I didn't expect was that MarkMono would be responsible for virtually all of it. Get tae!

[Syxx]

Good laugh reading this btw. The caricatures are out in full force.

One more week and a half of filth.

Don't do it! You can't get healthy by feasting on meat and limiting your fruit and veg intake.

I second the 'don't do it' - Atkins makes kitties cry.
