One meal a day diet, anyone tried that ?

I attempted to do this a few times and even managed it, but I would not say I felt particularly good. Usually I got pretty hungry at some point during the day and even kind of weak and shaky because I did not eat for so long.

Does this even make any sens ?

Any tips on how to lose weight quickly, without going to the gym all the time ?

Its no diet for me, its just how I eat

If someone has a gluten intolerance, then yes, one should avoid bread obviously. But if one does not, I don't see the problem with it or how this would be harmful in anyway?

You said even a slice of bread a day will harm me.

You're trying to lose weight and yet you're trying toa ssert what is and isn't good for you based on transient and short term feelings. You're lost in a labyrinth.

Disagreeing with you about bread does not mean I am not open for advise nor does it mean I have no clue.

Are you fit?

My gf is a professional rock climber. Understand a lot about health. We don't eat garbage from grocery stores. Filled with poison. We excercise almost everyday and climb and meditate and travel and camp. And have you ever heard of Fasting ? You can survived on water alone for 1 year. There is also avocado fasting. That regenerates your body and destroys cancer cells and other diseases. Look into Dr sebi

So everything from a grocery store is garbage ? Where do you get your food from ? The forest ?

Once a day is just a bad idea. Losing weight without moving a lot is not a thing. Gym is not required but muscle activity IS.

If you want some good insight, look up Penn Jillette's book and related talks.

Penn Jillette talked about losing the weight without exercising in his Big Think video. He contrasted weight loss with exercising which was "body building" in his words.

No.
No. No. No.

"Read this book!"
"Listen to this podcast!!!"
"Watch this youtuber!"
"Buy this DVD set!"
"Get on this meal programme!"

Enough. It's not outside of you. Nobody does this stuff, it just makes them procrastinate more, search endlessly for the easy answer, and continue to transfer the power away from themselves.

This is common sense stuff. You a need a few basic heuristics and in most cases that's it. Man makes it? Don't eat it. Full of stuff you don't understand and can't pronounce? Don't eat it. Full of hot pressed rancid seed or legume oils? Don't eat it. If everyone is doing it? Think twice about jumping on board.

Yep, there it is. "How to have everything and give up nothing." Yep, of course. Lemme guess, it comes in pill form! Sit on the couch eat whatever you want and lose weight! I'm sure that'll work out just great for all these fat people and their fat little kids everywhere who'll go on to make their own fat and sick kids.

Oh and don't forget dumb. Gotta follow along with that Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin media programming.

and after they finish losing weight they go back to eating the same crap they were before.

This. Consistency AFTER losing the weight seems to be a problem for a lot of people I know.

I lost ~70lbs by cutting a lot of sugar and alcohol and eating slightly cleaner. I still keep a loose log of calories in my head on a daily basis. Totally avoided the skinny saggy tit problem some dudes get

Side note: I almost died from quitting alcohol cold turkey. If you have a drinking problem and want to quit, please consider professional/medical help.

Just eat 5-6 small meals a day, that way you keep your metabolism going. If you eat 3 large meals you overeat more and gain more weight. That's what a nutritionist told me.

They told you that because they think that metabolic advice applies to you specifically.

There's no one size fits all solution unfortunately.

The "grazing" model. I've always thought this was probably a bad idea. Apt to wreck your teeth as well.

No, this was to an entire class of people in High school

you could do 24h between meals of fasting.
and have your meals be about 900KJ of food. 70% of it protain rest of it fat.

I stopped reading the moment I started seeing numbers and units (the irony, I know).

You don't need that, any of it. It's a distraction and totally not necessary. Calorie counting, "macros", and thermodynamics are probably the most obscene concepts introduced into human weight management. If it works for someone it's probably in spite of the freamwork, not because of it.

All you need is exercise, a calorie deficit, and maybe something to tune the body for a thermogenic profile (such as cacao, yerba mate, etc) where it rapidly converts white to brown adipose and is tuned for lipolysis and fat burning simply due to a mild calorie deficit and an amount of saturated fat entering the body above a certain threshold.

No grains, they're junk. Stop eating them.
No seed oils, they're hot pressed ie rancid, and poison to begin with. Stop eating them.
No highly processed junk food full of canola, cottonseed, glyphosate, atrazine, additives, etc.

Real food from basic ingredients. Eggs, meat, some vegetables. Avoid reliance on legumes as the lectins and oxalates can be hard on the digestive system, which may already be irritated. Organic is better for rebuilding the gut microbiome.

I've never been overweight, however that doesn't mean I've never lost weight either. I started out normal weight, various things were going on not going to go into it other than to again highlight the role of cacao and other herbs (kava and wormwood eg, if the digestive tract is irritable and responsive on an autonomic level), in probably ~6 months, maybe 10 or 12 I don't know I wasn't paying attention, I'd lost ~40 lbs. Probably some of it was muscle, but not that much. It works, I remained highly functional all throughout. And again, this was starting at a normal relatively fit weight. Not chubby, not anything like that.

If your body refuses to access, in many cases copious fat stores, it's either because it built them up to shunt all the poison you're consuming that was overwhelming the liver (ie couldn't be turned water soluble and elimianted through kidneys, lymph, bile, colon, etc) so it just put it in fat, or you're being poisoned by other things, or your lifestyle is screwed up and it's preventing any innate intelligence your body has (and attempts to use to reverse how it's being screwed up) from functioning.

That's it. Other than the poison in your body, what's preventing weight loss is the poison in your mind. Poison like "calorie counting", "dieting", "my doctor said", "I can't because my case is special so nothing will ever work for me", "I don't know so I need to procrastinate and seek out the answer outside of myself". What is so difficult about just not eating junk, mild to intermediate calorie deficit (no counting, use your intuition, you know what you eat per day and what's reasonable), add something like cacao and a multivitamin to make the body burn fat preferentially and suppress the (illusory) sensation of hunger.

What it would take to get the world back on track. The tinest sliver of willpower.

nothing wrong with numbers.

and you basicly proceed with repeating what I stated in other words.

energy deficient with mostly meat and eggs.. and a few supplements.. thats basicly exactly what I said with those numbers.

you dont think I count calories every day do I? you make a mealplan that roughly fits that caloric intake and stick to it..

you do the numbers once and than never again.

a few responces on the rest..
-I agree on the cocoa powder boost

-I agree on cutting out junk.. but when you want to intake enough protain on that few calories thats a given.

-I disagree on your obsession with organic there is ZERO health benefit eating organic for your body. there is a lot of benefit in organic in sustainability biodiversity and soil quality and annimal welfare and all that.. you buy organic to take care for the planet.. there is zero health benefit in it.
-Food laws in europe where I live are a lot stricter anyway many of that gmo stuff and many pesticides thar are present in usa are not allowed here.

I also dont agree with your hate on oils.
yes overheated fats are bad.. it forms cancerous chemicals..
and chemix
saturated fats like margarine also cause them.
but oils in their pure forn like olive oil.. or only mildly heated below the te perature of chemical reactions are no issue
annimal fat like regulair butter and lard is also fine.

your hate on grains likely is also from an american mindset.
corn is not used here.
gmo is not used here.
as a dutch normal bread to us dutch mean whole wheat non gmo bread without additives.. not the fake white amarican stuff thats basicly cake.
cereal means just plain oatmeal and milk to us.. no sugar no chenicals.
and rice by default aint white.. it has the flece around it or is wild rice.
-
when you loose weight you still eat little of them but in a normal stay same weight and build muscle diet healthy grains totally belong.

some whole wheat bread dipped in lemonjuice and salt.. is a perfect condimen.. full of nutrients.

two slices of brown whole wheat non gmo breas with a slice of fress natural gouda cheese between them is our idea of lunch.
aint nothing wrong with that.

and a bowl of oatmeal is great before a workout session.. knights even went to battles on oatmeal.

Naw, but I found out about this fasting diet where you only eat in the times between 1PM and 9PM. i dunno if it works though. maybe if you just eat 2 meals a day?
