How to Lose Weight by Eating Candy and Nuts

Steps

Eat just a little like you would be allowed, if you had your stomach stapled or a stomach bypass done. Yes, eat as if you had "weight loss surgery". But clearly bite size and food content make a mammoth difference.No, bulimia or anorexia will not come from eating little for a few weeks! Those are totally different eating disorders with an obsessive, mental component, such as thinking "I'm still fat" (when bony/skinny), or repeatedly binging and purging.

Imagine this different suggestion: Eat 5 bites of substantial, real food twice per day. You might try eating only two medium Snickers, Baby Ruth, or such bars a day. Can you (if fairly healthy) eat candy safely. "Yes!", but you ask "How does that work?"

Consider weight loss surgery. If you chose surgery, then eat almost nothing for 3 or 4 months, by Doctor's Orders! Then never be able to eat a large meal ever again, for life... Decide whether to have such surgery; if not, then: Skip the doctor's radical surgery and doctor ordered, forced "starvation", starving safely, how? Avoid the doctor's knife and those ways to starve, if you do not have the surgery.

Compare eating 10 bites daily -- to the diet after surgery

Examine the liquid diet and pureed soft food starvation in the surgeon's process, eating about enough for a small child, after a radical weight loss operation. So, compare 10 bites per day, a radical diet choice -- to be explained below -- see the Mayo Clinic diet for after surgery (more detail in the tips section): "Recover:" nothing by mouth, not even water -- about 2 days. Phase 1: "Crash" on the surgeon's clear liquid diet -- 1 to 2 weeks -- healing inside. Phase 2: "Starve" on 6 one tablespoon pureed "soupy-pasty 1 bite meals" daily -- 2 to 4 weeks. So far! -- almost 2 months' total -- crash-diet on doctor's orders! Phase 3: "Starve" on six meals of two tablespoons per day, that's about six 1/4 cup "meals" of soft, mashed foods -- 2 to 4 added weeks of this. Phase 4: "Starve", for life. 3 tiny 1/2 cup -- 2 to 4 weeks and finally get up to a mini-feast of three "1-cup meals" of soft, chopped foods. Suffer a life sentence: No big, chewy bites of real steak or chicken, etc. -- but, Yes... munch ground or minced meats instead.

Lose weight by [near] starvation following the doctor's method of surgery: "Modified starvation" is why obese (such as 400 pound) people lose 200 pretty quickly. Realize that if you had "starved" like that (after that dangerous surgery) -- then phase 1 diet is only liquids: "Broth, Unsweetened juice, Milk, Strained cream soup, Sugar-free gelatin -- Doctor's Orders!" for weeks -- safe enough?

Be safe: Eat a radically restricted diet, as if it is considered reasonably safe! Evidently, "Yes it is safe!" as radical-weight-loss surgeons all agree: clients can survive such a diet! Realize you have to be virtually starving to lose weight really fast.

Lose 10 to 15 pounds per week -- without surgery:

Succeed with "Five Bite Diet" meals (like a modified fast). Crash-diet. Think it through simply: all foods turn into sugar (glucose); that is: When the body needs energy but when you have eaten very little. Expect your body's Krebs Cycle (cellular level chemistry) to change fat and protein to sugar, if you eat very little -- or sugar to fat, if you overeat? It will... that's its job.

Digest a few meager bites of food and what happens: All caloric nutrients break down into sugar because you are not eating enough (not consuming a maintenance diet). The various sugars and starches, refined or raw, and complex carbs (about like 2 sugar molecules joined together), plus fats and proteins all turn to energy, sugar -- while your body burns some of your stored fat or some muscle protein so: eat that protein. Caution: Avoid burning your muscle! If you get too thin or too lean, there would be no more fat to burn. Stay strong...

Choose balance, on average (for your health): Could you eat an unbalanced diet (sure!): But, Don't do it -- for too long! See, an apple may be 5 bites -- but less than 100 calories. 10 bites of apple per day is starvation, pure and simple, food fact. The same "no-no" is true for 10 big bites of lettuce or any other low nutrient food. On the other hand, 10 bites of banana or cooked beans is not such starvation, but that, also, is not balanced! Caution -- Toxins: Several kinds of raw and under cooked beans are poison, when eaten often over a period of time!

Ask your doctor how much and what kinds of foods you should eat, if your stomach were stapled or bypassed. Ask him why "surgery and crash-diet" is better than only crash-diet while saving thousands of dollars and not suffering a life of tiny meals from then on!

Consider reading the book by Dr. Alwin C. Lewis called "Why Weight Around?" (about his radical, restricted diet). Research his "Five Bites Diet", such as: Fill-up with coffee or tea for breakfast (decaf for calm nerves?) -- your "daily clear liquid-diet" -- like phase 1, each morning. Drink a ⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) of water (or other calorie-free beverages) each day (that's eight 8 oz. glasses), realizing that carbonated water and artificial sweeteners are not healthful and may be harmful. Eat 5 bites of food twice per day. Limit, eat ten bites each day, "Yes, 10." (He said 12 bites will work, also). The first 2 days are the hardest, but you get to choose to have any food you crave to help prevent feelings of deprivation that could cause you to quit your diet. Drink liquids between meals. Drinking too much liquid with your meals can leave you feeling overly full on 5 tiny bites and prevent you from eating enough nutrient-rich foods (eat big bites!).

Tell yourself, "Don't worry, plenty food will be here tomorrow, the next day, next week, next year,..." No fear! Eat level or rounded tablespoon-sized bites (heaping tablespoon bites are okay -- but less effective, for rapid weight loss...). A crash 5-bite-dieter can take 5 large, satisfying bites, for example: Eat a burger diet: 3 Bites of burger and 2 bites of fries. Try tacos: 2 bites of taco and 1 of guacamole and 1 of beans and 1 of rice. Veg-out: 3 large Brussels sprouts, 1 bite of ice cream and 1 of protein... Roll up:Fruity-tutti soft-taco. Try a burrito: Use beans (protein). Fruit roll up: Ripe mangoes or stewed apples as a taco. Pop-5: 1 of bread, a chunk of fruit, a Brussels sprout, 1 ounce of meat or cheese, a mini-piece of candy, or as you like. Bingo! We have a winner ! -- a 5-bite-loser.

Consider trying the suggestion: "eat two medium-sized Snickers per day" for the first two weeks (or whatever you crave). Why -- because that may be satisfying and astonishing, as you may loss up to 20 or 30 pounds, in 2 or 3 weeks. A Snicker of 1.86 ounce (52.7 grams) has 250 calories, 12 grams of fat, 27 grams sugar, 4g protein, a little less than 10% protein, by weight (data from wrapper).

Check calories in your five chosen bites, if you want to know that info, for example, one rolled barbecue (BBQ) chicken-wrap (soft taco), with tomato and green onion tops:BBQ sauce, 1 Tbsp --------------------------- 15 cal; Sriracha hot chili sauce, 1tsp ---------------- 5 cal;1 Chicken, thigh meat, medium ---------- 150 cal;1 Tortilla flour, moist, fajita size (45g) --- 90 cal;1 Tomato, medium, cooked ---------------- 25 cal; Onion green tops, 1/4 cup, cooked ------- 15 cal;Total: 300 calories. (Alt: use a drumstick/leg, deduct 75 cal. Total = 225 cal).

Make a fist when food is near to help remember that diet! Show your determination... Also, if you may eat when stressed, try squeezing a soft rubber ball/"stress-ball" instead, and see whether that is effective for you. Get busy to be occupied with things other than food...

Lose safely: Don't stay on quick weight loss (modified fasting/actually starvation) level more than a few (like three or four) weeks at a time. If you do hard labor, extreme work -- you may eat more to lose weight quickly (don't overdo it...).

Cycle on and off of the diet. While "off" savoring weeks of progress (20 or 30 pounds?) enjoying a 1/2 week break after weeks of the hard slogging: Take a retreat and possibly eat at a buffet/but chow down on a ton of salad, plenty of vegges and some special protein, a dessert (or two like its your birthday party!)... Eat normally for a few days; then get back on the 10 bites, and march "on" to the battlefront, forward! Avoid eating very high fat, high cholesterol, or processed foods with undesirable chemicals, or other foods, such as hardened or partially-hardened fats or trans fats, which can be harmful, especially if you have high cholesterol problems or cardiovascular disease.

Handle a big plate/big meal: Take one bite of each kind of food on your plate (up to 5 or 6 bites), chew slowly, enjoying the tastes. One bite is enough to savor the flavor! Dump the rest, to avoid eating it, or get it boxed to take home for your next 2 days' meals. Make a fist! According to Dr. Lewis, you'll stop feeling as hungry after three days on the diet because your body will feel full on a smaller amount of food.

Get about 10% protein (1 big bite of a high quality protein food), every day on the diet (Snickers and Baby Ruth have some peanuts, a protein food).

Take a multivitamin supplement every day on your diet. Talk to your doctor, whether you might need to take additional supplements, such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc. Drink plenty non calorie beverages -- as much as you want -- as long as it is basically water. Breakfast: Coffee or tea (black please). (AM snack: 1/4 cup fruit, berries - optional) Lunch: 5 bites of food. (Afternoon snack: 1 bite yogurt or ice cream - optional) Dinner: 5 bites of food. (PM snack: 6 nuts or 2 chips, celery or such - optional) Get a big bite of protein each day “on average”, not empty junk foods...

Maintain your loses easily when finished -- eating three 7 bite meals. Or if you like, go for 4 meals of 5 bites: -- Tah Dah: try 20 Bites! Eat just enough to stop losing...
