PHAT Diet
Ever had a fad diet you always wanted to try, but didn't?I'm your perfect candidate! I have 30 days to lose 8 - 10 lbs, but don't know how to do it yet.
As long as I don't have to FAST~ I can't do that with the amount of hours I work... Bootcamp is also out of the question at the moment, as it is entirely impossible for me to wake up at 5:30am if I finish work the night before at 1am.
Reason for dramatic weight loss? I'm travelling in March and plan to sample as many Michelin star restaurants my body (and wallet) can handle. After all this hard work I am sure I'll have a lot of fun putting everything back on!
You have 24 hours to feed me the most ridiculous of diet ideas, and I will try to report my progress here for you.
p.s. Can someone lend me scales? I have no idea how much I actually weigh...
p.p.s. It doesn't help that on a Sunday I ate......all of the above! (and that was just lunch... I didn't even bother taking photos of the amount of food I ate during dinner. Le sigh)

maple syrup apparently. Beyonce did it to lose 20 lbs for the movie Dream Girls.
anorexia.
Hate to be the party pooper and burst your bubble, but losing 8-10 lbs in a month, depending on your body size/ratio, is most probably lethal to your body's health. For instance, if you're 250lb, losing 8-10 lbs is probably alright. But judging from your profile pic, losing 8-10 lbs might invite a screwed up menstrual cycle, loss of boobies and butt, and bad breath.
I know, because I used to be a work-out holic and calories counter.
Best advice? Just eat whatever you want, and work it out later.
If you become heartbroken or lovesick (or actually sick sick) you'll lose weight w.o even trying!
Haha ok, enough with the jollying. Nip nighttime eating and drink black coffee and unsweetened tea.
for a short-term diet to lose pounds quick go the no-carb/all-protein route. yup. basically all you can eat is meat and salad. not even fruit!
i say just cut back on your total caloric intake and exercise.
amanda, whatever diet you decide on, i'll do it with you!!
do you have time to go to the gym with your crazy work schedule?? i spent the last 3 months working in nyc and lost about 5lbs in one month while working crazy 12+ hour days, 1 hr gym sessions 2x a week, and eating a LUNA bar for dinner mon-fri. of course i gained it all back as soon as i came back to LA with my mom's cooking.shut up. you are no where near fat, or thick, or chubby, or heffer, or pudgy. eat. your hearts desire. drink lots of water.
@launderette - I think everyone knows that a healthy diet and regular excercise is key... but I'm up for something quirky! Wouldn't anyone use me as a guinea pig?
What is a LUNA bar? The only time I can excercise is before 7am... it'd have to be a good discipline. Maybe we should just do deb's crack diet but I am missing a blender.

I had a stomach virus for a week and lost 10 pounds! =X although I don't recommend that at all!
I just had fluids for a week and weight just slipped off. You will be surprise by how much water weight you're retaining.
LUNA bars are nutrition/energy bars. it's by the same company that makes CLIF bars but LUNA is targeted towards women. i first started buying them because i was looking for an easy, portable snack and LUNA had less fat and calories than the other bars. do you have them in australia? i haven't experimented with too many of the flavors but i like Nutz Over Chocolate the best and i heard the lemon one isn't too bad either.
i think skipping dinner 4-5 nights out of the week and replacing it with a little snack (ie. energy bar, just under 200 calories) was what helped, not just the LUNA bars. http://www.lunabar.com/http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_sg/002-0823770-4079225?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords=luna+bar&x=0&y=0<table><tbody><tr><td>Calories<td>180<tr><td>Calories from fat<td>45<tr><td>Total Fat<td>5 g<tr><td>Cholesterol<td>0 mg<tr><td>Sodium<td>100 mg<tr><td>Potassium<td>105 mg<tr><td>Total Carbohydrates<td>24 g<tr><td>Sugars<td>12 g<tr><td>Protein<td>10 gah, sorry for the html mess! not too xanga saavy as i haven't been using this in so long.

@launderette - I've never seen them in my life! Although I am just as happy cooking a dinner that is around 200 calories (840KJ - yeah, we count kilojules over here. Metrics for everything) - which sounds really achievable. A packet of udon with some vegetables are only 337 kj!
I'll start the crack diet as soon as I borrow a blender, it's only something you do in the morning anyway!
but i think another issue is we can't just limit ourselves to thinking about calories/kj, we have to factor in carbs and sugar content as well.
can you repost or msg me the directions to the crack diet please?? it says the page isn't available anymore. i'll start as soon as i can get the ingredients together; keep me posted!no eating anything except for apples.. do that for 2 weeks. and can lose 7-8kgs easy i hear.. but CANNOT EAT ANYTHING ELSE.. no bread, nothign. just water and apples...
plus with working 12hrs a day/6days.. sure u will lose weight la.
lol! that's a great idea.. essentially fasting before you eat at all of these great restaurants, genius! but i don't really diet so i can't help you out...
ok call me, if u kinda want to suffer, i'll tell you what kris taught me.
GRAPEFRUIT DIET!
@pinkami - good idea. but where to donate it?
It's a McGraw-Hill Book voucher.. im not sure whether it has to be McGraw-Hill books only.... i just got listed on SMH today, but official awards ceremony where i get the medal and cheque and book voucher is in march sometime...... so duno till then.
if McGraw hill. then i guess its only useful for uni students..
Gastroenteritis -- Stomach flu. Not the safest way.
I lived on a litre of Cerulyte for two days. Overall it was only 150 calories. Its basically packed with electrolytes that helps replace dehydration after vomitting :S I lost like 3 kilos in those two days and packed on 4 5 days after !_!
My guy-friend recently had gastro from being a pig, eating junk everyday at 11pm and within 2 weeks he lost 8 kilos. He's still 8 kilos lighter now!
oh and i've heard of a celebrity going on a baby food diet too.
