A male who love animals and brave enough to express it is more macho I think![]()
I'm obese on the BMI, so being a smart *** I asked the doctor if I should stop squatting and deadlifting to improve my BMI results, she asked me what a squat and deadlift was.....

No drugs, nothing is required
If you want to lose weight fast, learn to run
Run 3-4 times a week ... 5-10km each session
no fat can hang round your body for long with that routine plus it builds better bones density
You can eat anything provided you don't over do it with that routine
Adopt the CR (calorie restrictive) lifestyle.
Eat whatever you want 5 days a week, and about 500 cal on the other 2.
You will lose weight, and a good chance you will live longer.
Life expectancy increased during the Depression years, when food was restricted.
Nothing wrong with feeling hungry.
Hi Kathryn
is this what you do??

I've bought the book, and tried this diet. I've seen the Moseley documentaries. I lost nothing over several weeks, and found a forum where the people who didn't lose any weight were like me, early 50s, menopausal or post menopausal.
I'm working too much until Christmas to continue this plan because I don't find it easy whilst working. I did find it manageable whilst being at home. I think it is a great idea for general health, but for me, the weightloss didn't happen.
I don't need to lose a lot of weight. Once the busy retail rush is over, after Christmas, I shall return to the Fast Diet for my health's sake. But I'm not expecting to lose weight on it after my initial trial of it.
Wylie,
I'm the same age group as you. I think that unless you severely restrict your calories, it will take a loooong time to see any difference in weight. I think weight maintenace would be fine.
The documentary and the book tell of people losing weight from their first week, so I was so disappointed when I lost nothing. There were trials where people who ate normally for five days - not watching calories - lost more than those who watched calories on the non-diet days. I didn't change my normal eating pattern on non-fast days. I wasn't about to start gorging myself thinking I had carte blanche. But I lost nothing.
I think if a person was to choose their calories wisely (which I don't always)
it will be a benefit to their health. I should eat more fruit & nuts.
Agree with this. I try and usually can manage okay to choose wisely. I eat too much bread, especially when I'm hungry and it is so easy to make a piece of toast. I believe bread bloats me, but it is so easy, that it is a hard habit to break. I respond well to a low carb high protein diet, but don't want to mess with my body any more. I really like this Fast Diet and the science behind it.
I don't have cancer in my family, but we do have heart problems, diabetes, and alzheimers.
Since you tried the Moseley diet, did you feel better when you were on it?
I'm curious, as much as I want to do it... I have a sweet tooth, and think I would fall off the wagon pretty fast.
This is a myth... it is still dependent on your daily kiloj/cal intake, surely, what you put in your mouth. Perhaps in your case you are burning more kiloj/cal than your intake, but not everyone will do this. Watching a show yesterday, dietician working with 2 women who were trying to lose weight for a particular fun run event. Both running 10 km per day, however both could not lose weight. Long and short story is they were consuming too many kiloj/cal, I believe this is still one of the key elements to losing weight, exercise helps for sure, but from what I have read they should go hand in hand.
There is a great post by Alex P Keaton on SS (I can not locate this thread), anyway she lost I think 33 kg, exercise plan and healthy eating lifestyle. Great story
its not a myth, I am doing it I eat what ever I want, steak with fats, plenty of fats in my diet but I don't over eat ... not a single extra kg gain, losing as fast as I put on if I don't exercise over xmas and eat a lot..come Jan all the extra Kg gone....
go and talk to any runner ask them what they eat and you dont see one fat runner period...
I watched the tv documentary twice,and did some follow up reading on google.
It does appeal to me.
Rob and I did it together for one day , and he didn't like it.
I liked it, except I found just eating the one meal (as suggested by one source) on the CR day, was a little hard for me. I'd rather eat a little tiny bit, several times.
I really don't eat very much anyways, but I am consciously trying to pick healthier choices.
In truth, I'd rather eat less every day, instead of restricting on 2 days.
After some gruelling experiments with strict fasting regimes he came up with the popular 5:2 diet, the subject of the documentary Eat, Fast And Live Longer, which will be screened in Australia in October.
He has also co-written a best-selling book about the diet on which people eat normally for five days of the week and restrict their calories for two non-consecutive days.
Dr Mosley says he has lost 12kg, no longer has diabetes and has reduced his cholesterol. He also no longer snores.
The diet works because it is simple, logical and not too challenging, he says.
In a similar way to the feast and famine lifestyle of cavemen, it restricts calories and gives the body a chance to repair itself, Dr Mosley says.
His exercise regimen is also based on the lifestyle of our ancestors: lots of walking and short bursts of intense exertion.
Duromine is speed!
