Cabbage soup diet - FML

[phrases]

Yeah I would imagine cabbage soup could do that. Being scared and full of cabbage could end in disaster. You may never trust a fart again...

I laughed more than i should at that.

You're more likely to hold onto weight if you eat too few calories, which, I imagine, this diet is a good example of. As others have said, do something more maintainable, better suited for the long run. You're more likely to stick to it then.

Seriously fed up with this now. I'm not even that fat, I weight 96kg and I'm 6ft tall so only slightly chubby

Not sure if you're joking here, but 96Kg at 6 foot is obese. Keep chowing that cabbage.

God help us all...

Pretty sure it's in the overweight category based on BMI? About 28?

 

[arc@css]

Yeah, overweight, yes, but not obese.

Calorie deficit is what you need, Not fad diets like slim fast, Skinny coffee, Herbalife etc.
To be able to stick to it, You need to find something nutritious that you enjoy and don't mind eating.
BMI is a totally unreliable measurement.

Also remember, What works for someone may not work well for you!

I'm 110kg and exactly 6ft, but I don't feel like I'm obese, just overweight. I have friends who are lighter than me who look fatter. (not my own observation) I also have a friend who weighs 130KG and is 6ft 4 but he is broad across the shoulders and has a massive beard and it just looks normal on him.

I hate to break it to you, but you are both obese. http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/tools/bmi_calculator/bmi.shtml

Society has totally normalised fatness and you're a product of that. No offence, obviously.

BMI doesn't take into account Body shape or composition, muscle mass, bone density, sex and a number of other things.

I only eat around 800-1000 calories a day, but never drop under 9 stone.

What weight are you aiming for?!

 

[robfosters]

What weight are you aiming for?!

I’m happy to maintain. Just stating that I don’t need to eat anywhere near the recommended 2000 a day to maintain weight.

 

[michty_me]

I don't thing I could function on that .
I think my breakfast and snack is usually around your lower cal count for the day

I'm sure it's not perfect, but it's a darn sight better than someone saying "but I don't feel fat" as per the above poster.

If you can't see your peen, you should consider losing weight. Unless you have a small one.

 

[Distracted]

My mother did this diet years and years ago. My god the house stank.

I'm on the dust diet, can eat as much as you want(so long as its dust), dust is very very low calorie. Its win win.

Mmmm pork crackling dust
Crispy Chicken skin dust

For me the best thing I've don't is drastically lowering the carbs I eat.

Same here as well. Some days it might be a bit less but it's still close overall.
