greetings takenbyjohnr,

anorexia. no, it didn't. it just lead to compulsive overeating, then back, then forth, then back (see, when you deprive your body, it takes over and gets the food in however it has to, even if that means destroying your cognitive function to prevent you from being able to prevent it from taking in nourishment, so you no longer have a choice).

i'm still paying for that one in triplicate.

i think the funniest diets i've heard of are kimkins (the controversial pro-ana-in-disguise adaptation of atkins) and weight watchers (only because their programs read like a pro-eating disorder website and they have all the trappings of a diet but they claim they are not a diet. bullshit. they're just as terrifying to me as any of those other crazy ass weight loss commercials i'm subjected to on a daily basis).

another nutty idea is mimicking gastric bypass through drugs so that you are forced to throw up whenever you eat more than tiny amounts. there is a drug available by prescription to overweight and obese people (my aunt was on it) that basically chemically does the same thing as a gastric bypass - only allows you to take in small amounts of food, so you lose weight rapidly (my aunt is by no means obese enough to be considered a person who needed to lose weight so rapidly they should use drastic methods). yeah, let's teach people to equate nourishment with vomiting rather than making them responsible for their own bodies and actually helping them come to a place where they can do what they need to for their health. it's far more efficient financially in the short term to just medicate them and destroy their body image and relationship with food even more.

and people wonder why we have an obesity crisis. just turn on the television in january and watch a few jenny craig commercials. that'll explain all you need to know.

respectfully,
annabelle.

wow, annabelle, that sounds awful. I don't think any weightloss program involving the word "vomit" is a good thing!!

Just the word crazy diet immediately says, Not gonna work.

The least crazy and old fashioned eat less, exercise more is the best way.

I dont think any weight loss methods that involve unwanted negative consequences to your health are good.

It is a great cardio though. Just need to work on your endurance, you really start seeing benefits till you can go at least an hour or so

Oh, I have no problem with endurance. An hour? More like 2. At least in my experience.

Amen to that!

i'd say the craziest was cutting out fried foods, and exercising for an hour every night. Lost about 45 pounds, and after a year and a half i said holy shit this sucks. Gained it all back in six months. However, i am a wise man, and never got rid of my larger-size clothes, so the damage was minimal.

You name it I've tried it. Sir and I went to a seminar last week for the lapband. I've been doing a lot of research on it, and I'm seriously considering the procedure.

King Henry VIII pioneered a marvellous method.

He'd marry, and then his wife would of course have to attend all those banquets. Within a short while, she'd be unhappy at how much weight she'd gained. Invariably, she'd ask him to help her to lose 40lbs of ugly fat.

And Henry, gentleman that he was would oblige.

I have tried a few when I was in my early 20s and had gained the freshman 15, and um, a little more. Basically, the unwanted and uneasy answer is that you have to eat less and move more often. Start a journal where you write down everything you put into your mouth, including liquids. At the end of the day look it over and see which foods are the worst offenders to your weight and general health, then eliminate or moderate them. You will be surprised by how much you eat unknowingly, too, which writing will reveal to you.
Second, I recommend a good session of learning portion sizes. Today's portions are out of control. A typical restaurant dinner is big enough for two. A piece of meat should not be larger than your palm. Cheese is a big offender, as well as too much oil in and on everything. Instead of eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, try eating an english muffin with just the jelly. Usually when hunger strikes you are also actually just thirsty, so drink up some water.
There is no way about it, you will feel hungry and uncomfy while loosing weight. Your body is a beautiful mechanism against femine, so it will always crave food to store away. If you are not hungry and moving about, you are not loosing weight. But only movement does nothing if you compensate for the lost calories later on and end up perfectly sculptured under two inches of fat.
That is what I can think of right now to tell you, but moderation and a slow and gradual relearning of how to eat has helped me loose a lot of weight and get to my optimal level. It is an uncomfortable process, so I suggest also to get a buddy who can weigh you weekly and be a source of motivation.
In any case, good luck.
