The Very Low Calorie Diet : Why it is the best way for the truly obese.
Ok, today you get to hear me go on today about the superiority of, fabulousness of, benefits of, the very low calorie diet. The 800 calorie a day diet and increasing calories a bit, up to 1000 as you start exercising more. Anyone that tells you that you cannot get adequate nutrition on this kind of eating plan is wrong. They are just, wrong. For the obese, an 800 calorie a day diet that includes 5 or more servings of fruit and vegetables, along with adequate protein intake and adequate hydration, you will feel better than you’ve ever felt in your life. My diet is full of concentrated nutrients that are low in calories. And that’s it. It’s very simple, and I don’t need to pay anyone thousands of dollars to figure this out. And at the end of the month, I save on food costs too.
“Extreme Diets.” LOL. 800 calories is not extreme for sedentary people that are obese. This is why almost every obese person that walks through the doors of these popular “Diet Centers” comes out with a thin wallet and an obese body. Every “diet program” out there serves those who are obese too many calories. This is another set up for failure. Weoght Watchers for example (And I’ve actually tried and failed Weight Watchers several times) will start someone at my size on 1500 calories a day. This just extends the misery! They start you high and you gradually decrease calories as your body decreases in weight. I’ve found out that this is completely backwards for the person with obesity. You increase calories little by little as weight drops and exercise increases.
800 calories a day, consumed in the form of highly concentrated nutrients and whole foods is NOT a starvation diet. It’s not a “lose weight fast” diet either. The problem is that you do have a lot of people out there that are nutritionally ignorant and/or have a McDonalds problem and try to stick to a very low caltorie diet, and select all the wrong stuff to eat, feel sick, tired, etc. At 250lbs I had no problem at all from day one starting out at 800 calories a day in the form of highly nutritious foods, feeling less tired, less hungry and less sick that I did gorging myself at the trough.
You see, the more these “Diet Centers” and plans that recommend these higher calorie diets and people will spend years with them shelling out money to keep trying to lose weight. You’ve got their proponents publishing and saying things to scare people away from the very low calorie diet, and it’s just not based in scientific data. Very low calorie diets that are highly nourishing have set me up for the success that keeps me going every day! And at the end of the month, I save on food costs too.
