TWA STEWARDESS DIET - 10 lbs in 4 days If the stewardess didn't loose the weight quick. She couldn't fly or would loose her job. I have never heard of anyone getting sick.. only feeling good and may be wishing they had a pizza. I would down right cheat. I ate a cookie a few times. I put a little sugar in my coffee and cream once. Woman are tougher and can be more determined than men. I like my pizza. Beer.. I am weak. So...what I like me still
This is a very unhealthy way to lose weight. You are consuming less than maintenance calories. These are the calories you need to maintain your normal life such as making things your body needs, breathing (Your muscles need energy to breath), and your brain. Yes, if you starve yourself enough, your body will eat into your fat but you also tell your body to stop making "luxury items" that are good for your health and they only make the bare minimum because you are putting it into a state where the "luxury" items that might make you a healthier person are thrown away because your body thinks you are starving. A healthy weight loss is about 2lbs a week. You should calculate your BMR (Base metabolic rate) and try to shave off 500 calories from that. One pound of fat is about 3000 calories. But with exercise, your metabolism will go up and muscle needs maintenance calories (Even lean muscle needs calories to sustain ladies, Im not telling you to bulk up). If you follow this diet, Yes, you will lose weight but once you have said "Well, ive lost the weight". Your body still thinks its in starvation mode and wont come out of it for awhile and will hold on to every calorie you take in.
About 6 months ago I was shopping in Camden Market in London, England when I discovered that my wallet was missing. My god I was pissed!! I had just left the bank where I had exchanged my U.S. currency to British currency..About 2000.00 worth, and I lost that all in ONE DAY.
Gioes ... Welcome Welcome Welcome ... Thanks for joining us and sharing! You're absolutely right, it is an unhealthy way to lose weight ... *sigh* ... thanks for setting the record straight. So many of us are desperate to lose the unwanted pounds, even opting to let folk cut our bodies open ... all kinds of carrying on ... to achieve this end. None of it is good, unless done in a healthy manner, as you've described. Thanks again for joining us, sharing, and giving us something substantive to chew on! Please make yourself at home, because you are! Much Love and Peace. Destee
In the Spirit of Sankofa and Real Truth! By the way Sister Destee, when are you going to crank up the weight lost in Chat on Wednesday again?
