Unique way to lose 27 pounds in 10 weeks

[toys2cool]

I need to shed some fat myself. I played football in high school and have always seen my extra girth as my 'power', but now that I'm getting older it wears on my back and joints.
I suppose I wont be "going pro" anytime soon, nor will I need to be the head knocker that I once was....time to lose some.

I'm close to 7' and a bit under 400 lbs...

I dont FEEL 'unhealthy', but like I said, I'm noticing pains here and there and things like getting out of bed in the morning...over the past 20 years I have went from being built like a 'stocky' basketball player to being built like Andre during the last years of his life...

i can imagine bro, i weighed 215lbs. 5 weeks ago and I'm 5'8...not fat but still..I started playing b-ball with my friends again and man the day after my ankles,back and knees were killing me..now I'm 194 and still hurts a bit but not as much, trying to get down to 185

His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most -- not the nutritional value of the food.

So that's HIS premise now? I thought that was just common knowledge.

Actually - in all seriousness the title of the article is kind of misleading, I think. He's actually kinda proving the opposite of what the headline is saying.

What he was basically trying to prove is that special or trendy diet's DON'T work - as long as you're controlling your caloric intake it doesn't matter what you eat.

He could also prove his point by doubling his daily calories by eating nothing but cauliflower and gain weight - which would be more impressive to me!

Mmmmmmmmm.....cauliflower....

Reminds me - I have a fat turkey defrosting in the fridge - no time like the present to toss the old boy in the oven, eh?

(BTW - for those here that are culinary minded - this is the BEST 'glaze' for a turkey - make an emulsion of soy sauce, brown sugar, and honey - suit it to your own taste - mmmmmmmm!! )

Take care -

I can't imagine trying to function for more than a day on that junk food diet. It might provide enough calories to keep you alive in an office setting, but for me I think I need real meat and fresh vegetables to keep up my energy and heal my body.

The only diet I ever tried was a modified Atkin's. Same idea as any diet that works though, "think about what you're consuming." I cut out beer, snacked on peanuts, removed bread, pasta, rice, basically all boxed foods, and just spent more time in the kitchen. It was six months of steak and whiskey, more Hemingway than Atkin's, but I did shed forty pounds fairly quickly and painlessly, and I learned more about cooking.
