Thank God I can cook....

First week into a "soup diet"<br />
<br />
Been gyming for the past few months and am stronger and fitter but also just as fat. True-love politely coersed me into doing this diet her freind did that worked 'magic'<br />
<br />
I started it on Monday and prepared the soup the day before for the whole week.<br />
<br />
Ingrediants are:<br />
Bone broth (or stink supermarket stock)<br />
Celery (whole Bunch)<br />
French Beans<br />
KG of Carrots<br />
Spring Onion (Whole Bunch)<br />
3 Green peppers<br />
tomatoes<br />
<br />
That is all! Thank goodness I can make the meanest bone broth (which is apparently good for you in so so many ways) that I managed to make this soup rather tasty.<br />
<br />
Diet goes like this.<br />
<br />
Day 1 - As much Soup as you like and fruit too but no bananas<br />
Day 2 - As Much Soup as you like and Veges too but no Potatoe type veges (Kumara Pumpkin etc) But that night you are allowed 1 medium baked potato with a small knob of butter.<br />
Day 3 - As much soup as you like and fruit and veges (no bananas and no potato etc all day. not even your baked one)<br />
Day 4 - SUCKIEST DAY EVER and the one i'm on today. All the soup you like and 3 Bananas. You can also drink Skim milk BROULP!!!<br />
Day 5 - 10 - 20Ozs of Beef Lamb or Fish! That is up to 566g of beef! Get in!!! I can't wait for tomorrrow 1 bowl fo soup<br />
Day 6 - As much Beef Lamb and fish and vegetables. Bowl of soup<br />
Day 7 - Brown Rice and Vegetables<br />
<br />
I'm on day four and as the soup is a 'cleanser' I am feeling pretty good. Can see slow transformation of the body already even though only four days in.<br />
<br />
I can not wait until tomorrow to have some meat again!!<br />
<br />
Basically all the soup I want I can have as it is jack palance in calories. Heaps of water too.<br />
<br />
Feeling good.<br />
<br />
Started week at 117.8kgs! -

With a diet like that, you are officially banned from any large gatherings (eg Rugby Games) <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Waste of time Hooroo, you'll just put it all back on afterwards when you eat normally. I did something like this ages ago. Liver cleansing diet I think it is ?<br />

<br />
I respectfully disagree.<br />
<br />
I feel great after only five days and that in itself is a timely reminder of what I can feel like. If nothing else, it gives me even more incentive. I'm consuming a gazillion less calories a day. I can fit trousers I haven't fit in a long time.<br />
A few weeks of this wil certainly help me achieve a goal weight. It's not a short term measure, it's a kick start towards goal number 1 which is 110 KG's -
yeah different things will work (and not work) for different people.
-
Yeah, it's just different. It's no miracle worker. Nothing is.<br />
<br />
It's good for me as it is full of nutrients, it's specific and if I feel hungey, I have some soup.<br />
<br />
I do feel slightly 'cleansed' too if there is such a thing.<br />
<br />
Basically it is just a way of massicly reducing my calorie intake and maybe shrinking my stomach. Had a steak for breakfast this morning which I have been looking forward to all week but it didn't hit the expectation level I thought it would and it was a quality staek too. -

Provided you can maintain the calorie intake once you've lost the weight, then I don't see a problem.<br />

I hate autocorrect ...<br />

Which is the fundamental flaw in all diets. Lose the weight however you want but to keep it off you need to make a permanent change. That's the hard part. -

Fair call, didn't do much for me personally but like exercise nothing is truly "one size fits all". Personally I felt pretty drained and weak and couldn't quite last the full week, gave up on day 5 I think. -
Onto the third week.<br>
On Friday I had lost 6kgs (12 days into it)<br><br>
I am only doing this on week days and enjoying the weekends and still managed 6kgs so I am pretty chuffed<br><br>
Soup is a work in progress. Last weeks was bland and dire and made it really tough. This weeks has a bunch more flavour as my stock was refined a bit. <br><br>
I have never been so extreme in sticking to something. During the week, I won't eat one I calorie that I'm not meant to. Couldn't even test a berry couli I made for true love.

<p>Last two days of it. I'm on Holiday in Queenstown for a week starting Wednesday. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dropped 10 KG's (Probably more but last weigh in was 10kgs). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's great just doing it during the week and enjoying weekends as normal. Changes your eating over the weekend naturally. Haven't had any junkfood in the past month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great diet. Loved it</p> -
<p>I think I need to diet again! :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Saw a mate that I used to surf with and we were really tight when in the Air Force. Hadn't seen him since 98 and he looks great while I don't.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He all but called me Fatty McFattisen so I am going to Weigh In tonight at the gym and try to stop pretending that I'm OK at this weight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not going to set goal weight. Just weekly targets. Not going to do soupl thing but will look at what I eat a lot more closely</p> -
