Losing weight can be an obsession and I’ve been in the situation where all you think about is losing the weight and in the process end up making terrible health decisions! A lot of people can get pretty desperate and try some things that are unheard of or going to the extremes.

What kind of stupid or odd things have you done or heard of that people do to lose weight? Or what have you done that is just crazy to lose weight!

Confession: I've tried the veg diet for a day. It's herrendous to say the least and I couldn't even finish it after having it in the morning only!

I've tried drinking water with lemon juice every time i got thirsty but i got tired within 1 week.

And for stretch marks i heard from some1

You melt Camphor Cream (the green one), Blue spirit & Camphory (The white stones)

And the smelling killed me so i only used it for 2 days, then i throw it out.

@myname ... I tried that water and lemon for two weeks and it worked i have lost almost 2kgs with that. But you have to exercise to get there.

Before that i tried warm water, they say if you drink a glass of warm water 30mins after you wake up you wont get hungry half the day.

I saw on Tyra once a girl who ate baby powder and nothing else to get skinny and it didnt work talk about obession...

ok, i was told this :

B/fast : Black coffe, no sugar
Lunch : 2 boiled eggs
Supper : plain yoghurt or apple

Go on for 2 weeks, without changing this & you will lose 9 pounds

I was so shaking on the 3rd day & couldnt even stand up on my own without support & I quit!

I tried the special K diet,-only lasted a week (I lost a kg though), I can't stomach corn flakes to this day.

I was going to try the veggies, no salt, no sugar and no bread diet-I realised i wouldn't survive early on-I love meat.

Warm water and lemon every morning does minimise your mkhaba thou. i am big but i dont have mkhaba or shelves (those layers on the waist at the back). i am used to it so it is like a habit now. oh and rooibos with lemon is yummy, plus it keeps your weight constant.

Hey the only i've tried is to drink warm water like a glass of warm water in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening but i was only doing that to get my figure back and i did,
But the other thing u need to do is keep urself very busy, go to the jim everyday then u'll see the result.............

Eish I do not think I can live without my sweet stuff, and also when Im bored I bake so there is no hope for me.
I am starting gym, again, next month thou so maybe when im bored i will just go to the gym. I do eat special k and i love the taste and I try to put some chopped fruit in for variety and sweetness of cause.

Does the Special K work??

Warm water makes me wana throw-up, so its a no no for me..

@Tox..I cant swallow brown bread, it feels too sticky on my throat,lol

Toxic
02 Mar 2009 13:56

special K works shame, the downside is that you dont want to see it for a whole year after the two weeks. the same with diets involving eggs.

i cant do warm water either so i guess i'll have mkhaba for lyf. too lazy for sit-ups.

Tox what are we suppose to eat if we dont eat bread. I honestly dont know what to eat besides the bread

Toxic
02 Mar 2009 14:07

Cody, if u were gon have bread and eggs and bacon, then have the eggs and bacon with no bread

eat fruit as well otherwise u'll get a headache.

pretend you're allergic to bread and you'll see it's manageable.

sorry but i wanna know ....who wrote abt lesego drinking problem....."A supporter, writing on the TVSA website, gave a sensible piece of advice to Afro-pop singer Lesego Reetseng.

“You’ve been warned ... stop drinking and go to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) like your girlfriend suggested.” From Sunday World......im so sorry Positivity1...

Isn’t it what you are saying called fad diet? Three things you need to do if you want to lose weight permanently:
1. What you eat.
2. Exercise.
3. Genes.

If it is no3, then forget it. You can exercise the hell you want and eat less but if it is in your family it isn’t going to help. Maybe wrong but it is what I believe will happen.

They say you cannot fight nature and expect to win at the end of the day. All you do is to delay the inevitable, ask Michael Jackson he will tell you.

Loosing weight takes time so if you try googling differnt diets it will help.
Every week i go on a different diet so it helps that you dont get tired of the same kind of food.
I went on the lemon diet for a week , the special k for a week and try the vegies diet for a week and then the white meat diet for a week . It really works i started in Feb and i have lost almost 6kgs but i lost more on the lemon diet.

true that, but it leaves me feeling punished. I love cakes.

The warm water and lemon juice thing works though, and u really get used to it.

The trick, they say, is not to starve yourslef cause u end up eating all the wrong foods.

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends".

LOL,

It is a challenge to lose weight, but like it has been said cut out bad fats and eat more veggies than starch. I am black people, if a week goes by and I have not eaten pap I will be sick. I love it too much.

Oh yes, exercise and drink lots of water as well.

i will try the lemon and water thing and see if my belly will disappear

The Lady I really don't know what the lemon diet is but I do know the veg/cabbage diet soup. I found it on the net after a colleague suggested it. Talk about death. The smell of celery and cabbage is horrible and makes the whole soup horrible!
