Worst diet ever?



Recommended Posts

My worst diet was probably hypnosis (positive changes). I gained 50 lbs on it so, no, not for me. My most successful diet was probably Atkins. It worked well for me in the first 8 months (lost about 100) until I stopped eating low carb and ate whatever.

Did the hypnotist make you act like a chicken while you were under?

Medifast...that stuff made me sick as a dog. I got to the point where I would rather not eat than gag down another packet. Blech!!

No, but I see what you are getting at. :) I think the problem was I am not a good hypnosis subject, too strong willed. Big waste of $2000+.

Ha! An all Water fast ala Dr Joel Fuhrman.

Best one I liked was Dukan diet..lean-high protein/very low sugar-carb.

Worst ever... It was Alli before it was OTC. I got the Rx. I also ate a slice if pizza and ruined a desk chair. That grease spot was one if the most embarrassing moments of my life. I lost only my pride.

I hated weight watchers. The constant counting!!! Urgh!!! Every morsel AND you would hope that you could find the right "points" for whatever it was you were gonna eat

The HcG diet. I starved myself for a week on that diet and actually fainted at my sister's house. It was awful. And scary :(

The worst diet to me is ANY diet! The BEST products have to be PLEXUS. I started using the slim (pink drink) and accelerator on Aug. 10 in anticipation of my surgery. I have never felt deprived and actually was able to stop taking my insulin after two weeks (products were originally designed to regulate blood sugar.) I still take the Metformin, but only need 2 a day rather than 4. I added the probio5 at about one month and the inches really started dropping. I no longer have intense sugar cravings and my nighttime appetite is nearly gone. There is also a Protein supplement that I will be using right before and after the surgery. These products are so awesome that people started asking me if I had already had surgery, and when I said I hadn't yet, wanted to know how to get the products, I signed on immediately as an ambassador to get the wholesale price, but now I'm making enough to cover my monthly supply, plus some. :-). I will definitely continue to use Plexus after surgery and will be adding the XFactor Vitamin supplement, as well.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
