Hey, 1.5-2 kgs is a very good step forward Bhanu! What have you changed and what are you still uncertain about? Maybe we can help and adjust this further for the long-run.
Apart from gyming ,I have done following things :
1. Eating/Drinking less sugar
2. More running/walking every day.(I try to burn at least 100 Calories a day.)
3. Sleeping better (8 hours with no exception)

I want one more thing to add : I work in a Job which requires me to work in night shift(till 3 to 4 AM daily 5 days a week) . I can not leave my job due to responsibilities (though I am working on my business side by side) .I feel my night shift job also has something to do with the weight gain. However I dont fret over this as it can not be controlled for now .
My aim is to reach 70-72 Kgs. Currently I am clocking 76-77 Kgs .

Actually, this is a good way to go. Just make sure it's something you can hold on to once you've reached your desired weight- otherwise you'll "jo-jo" back and forth by falling back into old eating habits, dieting, old eating habits, dieting, etc.

I got a friend who is working nightshifts too. As soon as he dropped foods high in carbs for nightshifts, he started losing weight. Even though you're physically awake, your metabolic rate is lower and your body needs less energy during nights.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever read about dieting. That big of a caloric deficit is not healthy at all.

Just because someone wrote a book doesn't mean they know what they are talking about.

Well this lady is a doctor, many many many people are talking about her books, putting into internet how it helped them. Stupid is not to check but start judging.

400-800 calories, of fruits and veggies, is a sure fire way to permanently ruin your hormone production and come out looking like you did a stint at Auschwitz. Good grief, the stuff people will believe is outrageous.

OMG this diet is for maximum 6 weeks ! Did you read smth about it ?
For sure yes if you will be eating 400-800 FOR MONTHS you will look like a stint at Auschwitz

So your login is just becasue someone is a "doctor", whatever they say is automaticaly correct? ...

many many many people are talking about her books

Many people talked about fidget spinners. Relevancy of your point?

putting into internet how it helped them

Of course, it helped them, that big of a caloric deficit will do wonders in dropping weight. But its UNHEALTHY

Judging by your rep bank you didn't do much to contribute to this forum. You should probably do so instead of arguing stupid points like these.

That low of calories is for women. Women require far fewer calories than men except when pregnant.

Well if you eat that low of calories either you'll be looking like you're from Auscwitz or your body's gonna be "Too low. Either I'm not going to do a thing or get even more fat for survival"

But yes pregnant women eat about just as much as a teenage boy and probably even more because they have to sustain a second human being in their bodies.

I'm just saying that the book was written by a woman and the intended audience is probably for women.

why crash diet ?
completely NOT, of course you loose power, but its very good for your body.
For example my friend after such diet healed finally from her hashimoto issue.

There are groups on FB, ppl are sharing they exp, everyone are happy.
Lost weight a lot, healed from disses.
But Im not actually sure if there are some materials written in english :(

6 weeks is enough to cause damage to your hormonal production, at least for the intermediate term. Not to mention it's impossible to get sufficient vitamin and nutrients on so few calories

I don't need to read anything about the diet because I have a very very basic grasp of human physiology. If you want to wreck your body by doing something crazy that's fine, but I can't let it go unchecked.

It's as dangerous as someone leveraging up their credit cards to do a robert kiyosaki real estate training camp for 50k.

Again, I'm not denying the results. They will come. Doing it that way is just very unhealthy as @lowtek said.

Your body needs a certain amount of calories to maintain itself during the day, putting it in that big of a calorie deficit just makes it go into ultra starvation mode.

Why are you arguing something that you obviously know little about?

If you like sharing good news then share something you actually know something about, not something you "read about on the internet."

And calling me an a**hole isn't helping your point, it just makes you look childish and uneducated.

You dont have any knowledge and started attacking me , dunno why.
" cause damage to your hormonal production" really ? And this is based on what ? Your beliefs ?

As I said, in poland its very popular and ppl are healing based on this diet from many many different issues plus of course loosing weight. Going back to health.
They are also sharing they med results.
I was doing it for 6 weeks, my wife was doing it for 6 weeks, no issues with "hormonal production" , but lost issues with other problems which we had, so what you are saying its a lie.

"I don't need to read anything about the diet" yes of course, why read smth about it, better start attacking ut based on little knowledge :) Very inteligent, react based on 5% of knowledge.

But well your decision.
You are saying its based, but more and more ppl re using it and back to health and loose weight.
So your beliefs on one way, true on other.

Best regards


"And calling me an a**hole isn't helping your point, it just makes you look childish and uneducated."

Attacking some about diet, having zero knowledge about it is very grown and educated I assume.

What eating 400-800 calories a day will do is dramatically lower your metabolism.

It's been know for decades that hypocaloric diets are crappy long-term.

Reduce or remove your carbs and choose the ones with low Glycemic index - Wikipedia.

Calories should be the last thing to be worried about, always start with WHAT you eat.

For example: Are fruits good or bad?

This is in fact a trick question because every fruit is different. If you eat apples and berries with low GI it will help you lose weight. This will be different if you eat bananas or watermelons.

If you're going to do a crash diet you could just fast from time to time or go the intermitent fasting route...

But again, if you keep eating crap even fasting (AKA not eating at all) will be useless.

They key for weight control is not calories is the manipulation of insuline. Of course eating more than you need will make you grow, what I mean is that balancing your hormones should be your FIRST focus.

Well this diet is not only based on calories. During it you can eat only some types of vegetables and fruits. Mostly vegetables. Please because I dont want to argue anymore and waste time - read about it and then take into discission. Would you go into some business only by having some small portion of information ? I have good exp and many ppl also. During many years its helping to more and more ppl. Chech the facts. All from my side. Good bye.
