it’s extremely restrictive calorie wise, and you basically live off nothing but this cabbage soup (which ain’t great) for days on end. BTW what is with all of the restrictive diet-related threads on here lately ?

empty calories. (doesnt mean i dont enjoy it, nothing better than some wholegrain toast with a slick of butter) But I dont believe in draconian measures to get them out of the diet and I dont believe in entirely excluding a whole...

deceptive; people think they are dieting when they eat them but a lot of them are so high in fat and calories that you might as well be eating a burger and fries. I’m not saying you can’t ever eat the prepared foods...

After chowhounding too much over the holidays (and a pending trip to Hawaii) my GF and I are trying to drop a few pounds while still enjoying good food. For now the diet of grilled lean meats and lots and lots of veggies with no...

This week’s mission: no-calorie powdered chocolate in an asthma inhaler–type device.

a lot of criticism and ridicule from some co-workers who didn’t understand the concept. They tagged it the “high fat” diet. This was not the case at all. While you are allowed to eat foods that low fat diets...
