you used to be cool fatty....

I have recently started the meal repalcement of Rapid Loss. I was 95kilos and now 84 kilos. This was done in 3 weeks. I have the meal shake in morning, and i am not hungry until dinner time.

This does work. And it has a nice taste, taste like milo (probably is just milo) but this does work. About $40 for a tub from the supermarkets but is worth it IMO

The diet that only works and has always only worked is eating less IMO.

So you don't eat between breakfast and dinner? A good way to ensure that you slow your metabolism down. You are then a high chance of gaining all the weight back once you resume eating normally (unless you compensate by exercising everyday).

Good work what's the weight you want to get to

Hopefully 80kg, just doing it slowly so that it stays off. No point doing a fad diet, losing a couple of quick kilos and then gaining them just as quick.

your my doctor are you? Wow no i dont eat between breakfast and dinner .....no

And yes i do exercise also. but i wont be putting that weight back on. It was my choice to get to the weight i got to, and its just as easy to remove in the way i said. And what i eat is healthy food. So again, wont be putting the weight back on. everyone is different, and you saying i will just put the weight back on is incorrect. like i said, it was my choice to gain weight, but it can be removed.

Sorry, I wasn't having a dig, nor trying to suggest that putting the weight back on is a definite, just pointing out that skipping meals slows the metabolism.

[Bully]

its cool. just saying that everyone is different.

skipping meals doesnt always slow it tho, for some it does.

“Meal Replacement Shakes have been on the market for a while but I’ve always pushed my clients away from them because a low calorie diet is nothing if it doesn’t keep the weight off long-term. I sat down with Pharmabrand and told them exactly what the community needed: A low calorie shake that fills the stomach, and an education program that teaches you how to introduce the foods you love. However, I’ve taken it once step further and designed the program so that you can eat 3 meals a day, and have 2 shakes between and you’ll still lose between 1-3kg per week!”

According to the website you should be having 3 meals a day. The whole reason behind this is so your metabolism is constantly working when you don't eat for a long period of time it will slow down, and as you get older and older it slows down naturally by itself. Your "meal replacement" shake is only a protein shake and usually have added fibre to give you that full effect some you will find will have a better amino acid profile added vitamins, aminos I really wouldn't worry about if your only after weight loss and the vitamins are easily covered by a multi. The thing you have to remember is that a shake is only there to replace a meal for convience, those companies that push you should have one or two everyday is a load of you know what. Like i've said on here before on the weekends I don't even have a shake because I can eat my meals without any problems, mon-fri I do have 2 shakes a day only because I can't while i'm working. If you can you should always eat proper meals over having a shake.

what meals do you suggest?

[Psyber]

This month I've gained another 2kg and can no longer convince myself it is not just muscle bulk - I'm now 98.8Kg.

I've found the exercise bike does get a bit boring and hard to sustain even while watching TV.
So, after taking a friend's new hybrid road bike for a spin a couple of weeks ago (GT Transeo 3.0) I've started checking out that option.
I used to ride a bit in my youth..

I test rode 5 bikes of different types today - mostly on Unley Road, King William Rd, and in car parks in the region - so I've got some exercise in just doing that today.
The motivation is definitely better if you are actually going somewhere.

what meals do you suggest?

Boiled chicken breast and steamed broccoli

[kickinit]

lean steak chicken breast fish and eggs are my protein source. breakfast i'll have oats or toast with eggs. lunch is usually a salad with any of the protein sources tea is protein source and broccoli. my other meals in between are usually will be any of my protein source or a shake. and a heap of water drink as much water as you can a day even if it means going to the toilet every 5 mins. Also if you do feel hungry try having a glass of water before you eat anything you'd be surprised how many you drink that water and your "hunger pains" go away.

[Bully]

and like i said, not everyone is the same. Your information is great there, but in regards to myself having 3 meals per day plus the meal shakes, makes me put on MORE weight, but thats just me . Like i keep saying, not everyone will be suited to this

[kickinit]

By what I gathered (and I can only go by what info you have given me) is your having a shake in the morning and then don't eat until you have dinner. If your putting on weight from having 3 meals a day and your shakes then your eating too many calories not that the diet is working. I have trained many clients in the past and the one I trained last year lost 50kg. You'd be surprised as how many people think there eating healthy when in fact there actually not.

[Bully]

hence the reason for meal replacement shakes for me???

i have admitted that i eat to many calories, and i have the shakes to replace them/cut them out. The food that i eat is not take away every day or evey meal, yet alot of pasta as an example and this puts weight on for me. You can be sure my 3 meals a day when i use to have 3 meals a day is not fattening foods.....like i keep saying...not everyone is the same.

One day example - Iced coffee for breakfast/weatbix and toast with honey.baked beans maybe,scrabbled eggs
Lunch - Full pasta dish whatever the flavour
Dinner - Another full pasta dish, with no desert.

in fact, having a Low fat iced coffee in the morning does me even more good. milk fills me up. I drink about 3 litres of non fat milke every 2 days.

I dont eat salad/fruit. I use to be a body builder and understand the full protien diet. I am grateful for your help and your plan sounds good, but its not for everyone!

[kickinit]

Yes I hear what your saying not everyone is the same but every diet has principal calories in vs calories out. Even when I'm bulking I wouldn't eat those sort of meals. Seeing you where a bodybuilder you understand the benefits of eating more often then having 1 meal and a shake. Yes you have lost weight and as a bodybuilder you would know that you would of lost more muscle then fat.

Cutting to 5-6% BF for comps or photo-shoots isn't ideal for strength, which is why most don't attempt to maintain it all year round.

However 10-15% BF is still lean (abs visible) and doesn't compromise strength.

yep and as soon as that comp or photo shoot is over they will be back into bulking. This is why the body mass index is a load of you know what, i would rather be over in BMI and have 10% body fat then be in that range and have 30% body fat.
