500 calorie diet

by Grimm Reaper
(Death Valley)

I started off with a 500 calorie a day diet, I lift weights, walk, box, jump rope, and do normal workout videos, I've dropped about 100lbs in a few months, but it is not very healthy, since then I bumped my diet up to 1400 to 1500 calories, which may seem like a lot, but if you keep up the hard work and exercise you will lose it more slowly, but it will be more natural and much safer. I guess I would suggest starting off with that many calories to give your Metabolism a kick in the ass so that you can eat more and still lose more weight. I also take Vitamin B which kicks your Metabolism into high gear, and suck down green tea, it's got egcg or whatever to make your heart work harder to burn more. Hell if my former fat ass self can kick the bad habits you can to, I weighed 320 pushing a 48 inch waist wearing a 4xl shirt, now I weigh about 215, 38-40 waist, and almost down to fitting into a XL shirt comfortably. I'm still going though, my goal is 180-190lbs and a 36 inch waist, and to fit nicely into a XL shirt.

by: The Vegetarian Viking

What gets me about the weight loss industry, is that they keep putting out a one size fits all diet menu. Regardless of what you weigh, or need to loose.

Grossly obese individuals need a serious jump-start their plans. The 1,200 to 2,000 calorie daily limit is just too high.

It not how many calories you eat a day, it what those calories are made of. Example:

1,200 of fake processed diet food stuff is bad.

500 calories of non fat proteins, fiber and real vegetables and or fruits is good.

One of the most successful diets in history,(Dr. Stillman's Quick Weight Lost Diet 1969) actually had a limited number of calories-400 to 900 a day. But the doctor who wrote this book, didn't preach low calories consumption a day, he preached high protein low fat.

Individuals who used this diet to loose weight quickly, found that after a couple of days the naturally dropped from 1,200 calories a day to around 400 to 900 calories a day. Each day being different in calorie count.

Slim normal weighted people really don't consume as many calories as they think. Their consumption varies from day to day, from event to event.

Obese people, think about food all time, count calories constantly, and food is the event.

This weight loss Viking has been on both sides of the scale.

3 weeks now on 500 cal. a day. I lost 8lbs. It is really slow. I will hang in there. I was told that the older you get, it is slower to come off.

by: FATTY

I have started a 500 cal diet program of my own. If you burn at least half of the cal you eat the weight will fall off for women and men. I have tried every diet and diet pill and this has worked for me. Its not healthy to eat less than 1000 cal or take diet pills. I take vitamins and lift weights so that I wont get flabby from the quick weight loss. I lose 8lbs in 3 dys and I'm going to do this for a month then back to 1000 cal diet to maintain the weightloss. It took me 5 years to get it together and I'm loving it. There are so many foods that give you the energy with the combination to burn quicker please do your research. Pray Pray Pray

Ive been on a 500 calorie a day diet for about 4 weeks. Ive lost 20 lbs. Some may say thats to much but as well as this diet i ended up taking meds for Hypothyroid. Totally unknown to me that I was one of many with this disorder. Amazing though with the proper meds and moderate work outs I am very pleased. For any intested the most weight i lost was the first week 12 lbs, ive gone between 2 and 6 lbs the last three weeks. im 5'9 and weighed in intially at 190. Im now at 170. I have 25 lbs to go. For anyone having problems with this diet, i would reccomend have your thyroid levels checked by your doc. Also make sure your limiting your average meal to 3.5 oz of protien each meal and 1 cup fresh veggies steamed. Never eat the same thing twice in one day. The diet i have has very specific things i can and connot have. I also eat one peice of bread and one fruit a day as well as 2qts of H2O or more a day. NO SODA but i cant help myself with the coffee in the morning loaded with fatfree hazelnut creamer. Cant be perfect. Hope this helps!!
