The Snus And Water Diet. WORKS!!

[Thunder_Snus]

I saw a documentary about diets (where you eat little) without exercises in school last year. When you lose that much so fast, apparently it's mostly water (I don't know how it is if you drink shitloads of it during that time though), and you regain the lost weight later.

It's something similar to that nature. When you're not eating a lot and not excercising a lot of that weight loss is indeed water but a bigger portion of it is muscle. That muscle helps burn more calories so although you're losing weight you're also losing the thing that helps burn extra calories at all times. So if you return to your regular eating habits you'll weigh more than you did before because you no longer have that muscle to help burn those extra calories. But sometimes its a great start for people. You lose those 15-20 pounds and you have the motivation to turn skinny you into skinny muscular you. However most of the time that does not happen and people return to their old eating/excercise habits and weigh the same or gain more.

With that being said, PP is one of the smartest people I've ever met and I'm sure he knows these things and has some sort of plan in effect. And as someone else said losing that much in such a short time isn't healthy but sometimes thats how things workout. Some extremely obese people start a simple excercise program and lose 20-30 pounds in a week, that will of course slow down as they lose more and more weight though.

True, I have a plan and it is working. As far as losing muscle, that is also true but due to my health conditions I live a slightly different lifestyle than most people. I don't "work" in the normal sense of the term. I am buzy all the time living life, careing for my mother-in-law with alzimers, my family, my properties, my birds, and taking myself and my mother-in-law to the doctors seemingly all the time. When I'm not doing all that I have to keep my body horizontal due to pain. Those few things that I mentioned that I do I'm not even supposed to do according to my cardiologist but I have these things to get done. 2-3 years ago I was told [more like commanded] by my doctor to go home and get my affairs in order. Losing the xtra weight was one of the thing he said would help prolong my life. I easily lost about 30 lbs in that time but I still had a few more lbs to lose. And it seemed that it was impossible to lose any more lbs in the last 8 to 10 months even tho I was eating right. This most recent effort has brought me much closer to my goal......extremely fast If I can lose just 10 more lbs I will surpass my goal and leave room to gain a couple of lbs till my body adjusts. Due to my health I have to eat right and I do. My wife goes way out of her way to make sure I eat properly.

OK heres the first part of the diet.
Don't eat or drink anything for 3 days.....period. nothing at all. Thats the tough part but makes the rest much easier to deal with. The first day or so is the hardest but after that its easy as hell. Fasting any longer than 3 days will **** up your interal organs so I had to limit it to the 3 days though it would have been easy to keep fasting.

After the 3 days of fasting, at midnight or before going to sleep drink water and have half a cheeze samwich. By the first 3 days of fasting your stomach has shrunk and the hunger pains have receeded. I have meds to take so I had to start eating so I would eat part of the samwich, take my meds, then finish the samwich...all very slowly. I had my third samwich in 7 days so far. I don't feel hungry at all and see no reason to stop untill I get a few lbs lower than my goal. I do take vitamins and have doubled up on them during this period. That first drink of water after the 3 day total fasting was absorbed by my body very quickly. I was actually ready to keep on the total fast but that would not have been good for my body at all. I just finished the 7th day and I'm going to keep up the water and cheeze samwich before I go to bed but I am adding either a salad or a piece or 2 of fruit. I'll do that till I'm past my goal weight then go back to eating 2 to 3 meals a day but in way smaller portions. There is no reason to gain back more than 2-3 lbs then I will stable off at my goal weight. And it should be easy to stay at that weight.

When I was diagnosed with the more serious cardiac problems I was at about 248 lbs. I lost 30 lbs in the first year, gained about 8 lbs back and for more than a year now haven't been able to lose any more because I'm not supposed to exersize. Walking is the most I'm supposed to do. I lost about 16 additional lbs in the last week. so now I'm 210 and feeling better. I want to continue this method till I get down to 190 or so. Then go back to eating small portions and correct foods. Surely I'll gain a few lbs back but I'll be dam happy to weigh 190 or 195....and keep it there.

Snus has helped tremendiously to curb the hunger pain and have something in my mouth. I don't think I could have done this without the help of snus.

more to come.....
