First you have to be committed. Doc told me I wouldn't make 50, I was 43 at the time. Sent me to the fat doc. I was the lightest there at the clinic, even the women were heavier than I was. They do bariatric surgery. They said they'll shrink my stomach down. For this I'll need to take vitamin supplements, or I'll lose my hair. Then I found out I don't have a bariatric benefit on my health insurance. Might now, didn't then. Thank goodness.
Dude in the next cube was heavier than I was, and I was 305 at the time. He said go HCG diet. I though yea, yea.. yet another fad diet. Then I watched him lose 30, then 60 Lbs. I started at that point. I asked if he were ready to eat dirt at that point, he wasn't. Wasn't hungry. Here's why:
HCG protocol. Google it and read it. AS LONG AS YOU DO WHAT THEY SAY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL EVERY DAY. No, really. Everyone I know that has tried this has been successful. At first you'll gain about 6 Lbs, then you'll lose those 6 lbs and expect to lose a pound every day. Sometimes you won't, don't get upset. Keep with it, you'll lose the next day. Whatever you do, don't cheat. Think of breaking a toe if you cheat, because that'll be about how it is. You'll get those cravings back and it's really hard to keep on it. Just don't do it. Believe me, I know.
Start weighing yourself every day and keep a record. No exercise bullshit. In fact, don't exercise or you'll likely end up on the floor. Exercise is the crazy left's way of doing things. Sure it works, however you're far better off not consuming the calories in the first place. Work for an hour to burn off 400 calories IF YOU'RE LUCKY? I don't think so. They say you burn 3500 calories/pound. For me 1 Lbs is more like 1500 calories. I can lose 1 Lbs in a day, or spend 3 hours at the gym under heavy exercise? If you have 50 Lbs to lose, you see how stupid that is.
1) Build up fat for two days - eat whatever you want and as much as you want. Be careful, if you over eat too much you'll be sick later in the day. Here's what I did (Start drops now. HCG diet drops, hcgdiet.com, I use hcglean2000 drops. Make sure it's homeopathic. There's no HCG in there, however it works. It's the protocol that works. No you won't grow boobs or anything to do with being female):
A) Breakfast at Duncan Donuts. 3 donuts.
B) Lunch at 5 guys, dessert at Cold Stone - large sunday
C) Dinner at another fatty place, pick up a half gallon of (hersheys) ice cream on the way home.
D) Have half that half gallon of ice cream at night.
Next day repeat.
2) Next 38 days you'll be eating 500 calories. Take vitamins, and potassium if you get cramps/charlie horses.
You can have each day:
Meal:
A) 6 ounces of meat - 3 for lunch, 3 for dinner - other types of meat. Like chicken and steak, chicken and shrimp, etc.
B) Veggie - like a whole tomato.
Snack - afternoon and evening - one fruit. Like one apple, or 5 strawberries. Note, you cannot have 2 small apples. Just one.
3) Next 3 weeks you'll add in more food to level off. If you gain, you must lose it the next day.
4) Next 3 weeks start adding in more carbs and sugars. Again if you gain you must lose it right away.
Now you can start all over again.
If you stop, continue to weight yourself every day. Do not let yourself gain. Always remember - you are the easiest person in the world to fool. Is that cake worth it? Bag of cookies? Of course not. You'll feel bad if you gain again.
I'm 5 years out and 75 Lbs down. I'd like to lose some more, just haven't started again yet. I think my skin is about ready to do that now.
*YOU* CAN do it.
BTW, on the way down I had a LOT more energy. Some days I felt like I had to run around the outside of the building or I'd explode with energy. I mean like I was when I was in the 1st grade. I also got acne back as I got rid of stuff inside. All normal. Goes away when you level off.
Hope this helps someone out there.
