It's what I'll be doing starting tomorrow.
I'll be drinking vegetable/fruit juices for the next 14 days in an attempt to shed some weight. I tipped the scales at just over 200 lbs during the holidays and that's the biggest I've ever been and I don't like it. If it goes well I may even extend that to 20 days. Anyone have any experience with juicing? Recommendations?
14 days without food.
Re: 14 days without food.
Diets lol.
Dude, if you want to shed weight, change your lifestyle.
There's two problems: first, you may lose weight, but once you return to your old food habits, you'll regain that amount of weight even faster.
Second, losing any significant amount of weight (certainly for a 200lbs+ person) in the relatively short period of 14 days is counter-productive. Your body will hit the brakes and start hoarding resources.
You might want to get some exercise in as well.

Re: 14 days without food.
I usually do that, just exercise when I feel like I'm getting too big. However I've had this nasty energy drink habit for awhile now and I just kicked it starting this year. I think those drinks are probably responsible for my weight gain and I haven't had one since the new year. Honestly, quitting those is harder than quitting smoking. The problem is however that I feel so uncomfortable and awful that I couldn't work out properly. I felt exhausted and didn't have any energy. Now that I've been off the drinks for over a week I'm feeling MUCH better and I'm not so winded when doing any activity. My diet isn't too bad as it is except for the sodas. I just want to shed a lot of weight quickly to make working out easier for myself.
Re: 14 days without food.
If you shed too much weight too quickly you can end up with stretch marks as your skin doesn't have time to adapt. It was on a TV programme and maybe in a magazine.
Re: 14 days without food.
I'm not that big, I really can't see that happening. I suspect I'll lose somewhere between 10-20 lbs which isn't really that much.
Re: 14 days without food.

Re: 14 days without food.
All that stuff about your body storing fat cuz u have gone into starvation mode is..... BULLSHIT...
Re: 14 days without food.
Last I checked vegetables and fruit are still food...
Re: 14 days without food.
You're not dieting, you've gone vegan...
Re: 14 days without food.
Chewing is good for your digestive process.Re: 14 days without food.
I know right... my normal diet consists of mostly protein and carbs and very few veggies but since the new year I've made a point to eat more fruits and veggies and I weirdly started craving them more and more and so far I feel like it's made a difference in the way I feel and my energy levels but that could also be because I stopped drinking sodas. That said, for the next 14 days I won't have a single piece of meat so that's quite different for me.

When eating solid foods yeah... duh.DTS wrote:

Changing your diet will not keep you from lying about your car... If that's what ur trying to accomplish...
Re: 14 days without food.
Feedback has a point; without enough energy from food, your body will burn muscle first for energy, you need muscle and energy from food to burn off the fat. You can turn fat into muscle but what you are planning might not do that 
Re: 14 days without food.
And you can still gain weight from all those sugary fruits...
Re: 14 days without food.
Muscle has memory... It ain't no big thang....

Re: 14 days without food.
I have a workout planned after I'm done this.feedback wrote:goodbye muscle
Re: 14 days without food.
A fast before starting a work out program is a good way to do it...
Re: 14 days without food.
Jesus you're retarded. It's already been said, change your lifestyle you lying cunt. It's the only way to safely lose weight.
Re: 14 days without food.
Safely lose weight? God what a fag...
Re: 14 days without food.
This. Diets are the lazy way of trying to shortcut the real hard thing which involves actually changing your lifestyle. I have never ever been on one of these fad diets, I do home-cooked meals with a balance of food groups (from raw unprocessed foods, cooking a frozen pizza or opening up a can of Spaghettio's doesn't count). I go rock climbing at least once a week and do frequent runs or bike rides.Eraser wrote:Diets lol. Dude, if you want to shed weight, change your lifestyle.
