1 meal a day with how many snacks?

Just one snack usually between 250 - 500 calories.

I see now you acknowledge that it can be bad if done for an extensive amount of time. I'm no expert, but I don't see how there would be much muscle gain since you are eating as much as a super model. Only the illusion of more muscle becomes all the fat gets melted off.

Yeah I only do this for about a month, maybe one and a half at the most then I transfer over to a better diet that equalizes about 2000 calories. I do not know for a fact if it does gain muscle, I've been told by people around me that my muscle frame was building as I did it. That could have just been my body, everyone experiences different things. I know for me that this was a good way to cut fat quickly.

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Workout Plan: (Don't forget to stretch)
Monday - Saturday: Elliptical Workout (Highest resistance) Burn between 800 - 1000 Calories
Monday,Wednesday,Friday: Strength Workout (Chest, Biceps, Triceps, Forearms, Back, Shoulderd) 5 + exercises per muscle group.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: Strength Workout (Legs, Calfs, Butt, Lower Back, Abs) 5+ exercises per muscle group.
Monday - Saturday: Running Workout (Non - Treadmill) Run between 1 - 2.5 Miles, and gradually increase as your body adapts to running more.
Sunday: Relaxing day, no workouts.

Eating Plan:
Monday - Saturday: 1 Meal a day around dinner time. Nothing huge but a small meal around 1000 calories.
Sunday: 2 meals one in the morning and dinner. following the same format as above. (I've also had success eating McDonald on this day as well. Nothing to huge. Ex: Mcdouble, small fries, and a large Powerade is good.)

Note: This plan also works with having a second meal earlier in the day each day. I usually have a chicken salad with fruit and vegetables and have found it just as successful.

Note: This is a horrible diet and shouldn't be tried by anyone.

You lost a lot of lean body mass on this ridiculousness. I don't even need to know what you ate if you're eating a 1000 calories a day. Even if you're particularly short (and you probably are..i hope you are at least). 35lbs lost in 21 OR 28 days (hah!) is starvation. And the fact that you think you actually GAINED mass while doing that? This would be nonsense if you were sedentary, but you arent! On top of that rubbish diet, you're lifting and doing massive amounts of cardio. At this point, I'm not sure if you're trolling or not.

Who came up with this diet for you? Why would you think this is healthy (its not)? Good lord? I'd suggest doing some basic reading on macro-nutrients/vitamins/minerals so you get a better understanding of how your body handles/needs certain things.

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Is that a "haha funny" type of workout regiment? 10 pounds a week? If you can do that naturally you have unlocked a secret and should be profiting off that program. Don't post it here!

I feel like it is a troll attempt

I'm with you on this one. The body will turn to muscle for fuel first before any fat is burned. Might lose fat but will definitely lose muscle mass. Muscle takes longer to build so why anyone would go with his diet is beyond me.


I'm going to try the new peanut diet.


One peanut a day with a glass of water only so I can lose 30 pounds in 30 days.

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

I felt fantastic at the gym today. I switched protein powders 2 weeks ago to one I researched online with good reviews. I was just buying one at Big Y before. I also feel like the last 2 days I ate very good.

Hit a 20 lb PR on back squat at 350lbsx1. Just needed 10lbs more for 2x body weight. I've also been doing 5 second eccentric back squat on Mondays which might be helping. Hopefully next week.

Awesome job on the squat! What protein powder are you using?

Intermittent fasting, while doing full Body workouts & Cardio on only 1,000 calories? While advocating McDonalds and a high Sugar Sports Drink?

I wouldn't recommend this Plan to someone who's obese. Sure you'll lose weight doing this but in an unhealthy way, with mostly water that you'll probably put right back on. Taking a slower approach of losing a Pound to 2, a week is much safer with no more than a Deficit of 500 calories below your Maintenance.

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

As of today, I'm 280lbs at 5 ft 5.

I'd like to set mini goals with a big goal at the end.

By Valentines Day, I'd like to be in the upper 260's.

By the 4th of July, I'd like to be near 240.

By Labor Day, near 230.

By Dec. 21st near 215.

I'm going to try to cut down on drinking diet sodas. I easily have 3 to 4 per day.

Working out will be essential, a lot of cardio up front, and once the pounds start coming off, I'll start hitting the weights.

DJ, others are correct, it's all mind over matter. I have a cousin who gave up Coke last year and in the month of January, she lost 16lbs.

On the second of January, I said I would like to be in the upper 260's. Today, I'm 3lbs away at 272. That's not too bad, I'll take it.

I plateaued or flat-lined, whatever you want to call it, from Dec. 27th till the end of January. Down a half pound, up a half pound, etc.....

28 pounds lost since a year ago January. Over 18 lbs with WW since Nov. 22nd. ie about 1.5lbs per week, which is the correct way, even if it appears to be going like a slow boat to China. It's a marathon.

Great job so far, Road! Like you said, it's a marathon, not a sprint. There will be ups and downs, but sounds like you are doing things the right way, and for that you will be rewarded in the long run.

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Down 3 lbs since Friday, so, now, I'm in the 260's.

240 by the 4th of July? 4.5 months. That's about 6.5 lbs per month, so, that looks reachable.

We'll see.

Time to keep this train a rolling.
