[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well 1200 calories is ridiculous first of all.  But what are you eating?  You need to be eating lots and lots of low cal high protein food to keep you full.  You have absolutely no calories to waste on fats and high calorie carbs.  Foods: non fat greek yogurt, 93% ground turkey and beef, wild salmon, boneless skinless chicken, oatmeal, potatoes, veggies.  These will keep you full for minimal calories.  But seriously up your calories to about 1500.  [/quote]

This and try to eat some berries with the nonfat greek yogurt. With 1200 calorie daily diet I wouldn't eat salmon. Would try to eat 96% ground beef, ground sirloin steak and skinless chicken breast. Absolutely no nuts or processed foods.
  
For exercise, don't run just walk running may trigger hunger.[/quote]

This is the worst thing you can do. Low fat and fat free foods are setting your body up for failure.[/quote]

Not necessarily. The issue people face is the unwillingness to recognize how calories dense dietary fat is - like people that refuse to stop eating peanut butter because it is "yummy." Fat is satiating, but removal of it won't necessarily have the opposite effect for everybody.

Beyond this, there is a massive gulf between fat free Greek yogurt and fat free processed foods that are the result of fat fearing. Lumping those together is dumb.

Overall, the formula that works for 99.9% of people is simple: lean meats, vegetables, fruit, legumes, unprocessed nuts in reasonable quantities, and water.[/quote]

It's not simple though: it requires massive self control, discipline, proper shopping and preparedness, a less stressful intense life to be able to focus and think clearly about choices and weight loss. If someone has always been thin, they simply don't understand what it's like. I know I didn't before I became heavy. And I certainly did not eat how you describe (yet I was thin!).[/quote]

I disagree any of this requires massive self-control. You have to prioritize it. Most people don't want to do that. [/quote]

You might have a much easier time than someone else. That's partly why weight loss drugs work: they bring the amount of self-control required down for people who have normally struggled. [/quote]

Well, some people had a much easier time in calculus and differential equations than I did, yet we all finished engineering school, and I destroyed them when it came to the actual field specific material. If avoiding eating the massive piles of shelf stable garbage in 7 eleven is considered "massive self control", I cannot image that person attempting something actually difficult.[/quote]

You sir are hungry for some emotional intelligence :wink: [/quote]
