    If you want to lose weight you stop eating, simple as that!

    I'm always impressed with how much weight people lose on that 'Naked and Afraid' survival show. And they're only outdoors for 21 days!

    So many great theories - I checked the link and it said
    Eat all the fruit you want except Banana.
    which is enough to tell me it's utter BS. There is no such thing as "empty calories" and getting your energy from junk food is *exactly* the same as getting it from anything else, although the additives probably won't do you a lot of good.

    The reality is that you need to consume an amount of food such that the energy you get is less than the energy you burn. And that's it. If you do some exercise, you'll burn more energy than if you don't. If you eat like a pig, the balance will be in the wrong direction. So find the point where you start losing weight and stop eating more than that.

    Ketogenic diet mixed with intermittent fasting. Simple.

    In the freezer here, there are 9 boxes of ice-cream and five boxes of pizzas, dinner can be a whole pizza for this person.They're not mine. The person who owns them came home yesterday with a tub of fcuking Slim Fast.

    Does drinking a slim fast shake cancel out a pizza?

    If you go the to the equator then you will weigh less because the earth is spinning.

    To loose 7Lbs you would need an initial weight of 925Kg though

    Same as a diet coke will.

    Sulfur hexafluoride is an inert gas with a density of 6.17 kg/m³


    If you weighed 85Kg and stepped into a diving chamber which was then filled with this gas and the pressure raised to six atmospheres you'd loose the 7 Lbs.

    And you'd have a deeper voice than Barry White

    Which is heavier? A ton of steel or a ton of feathers?

    An pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of gold but an ounce of feathers is heavier than an ounce of gold


    *hugs* metric system

    6 years between the OP's question and your advice @Mandy222 . Not exactly the quickest way to lose 7lbs in all fairness. That's only an average of a bit over a pound a year.


    edit: Now Mandy222’s post is gone and I’m the one looking like I resurrected a random zombie thread for no good reason.

    Become a coeliac. I lost nearly three stone in a few months when my intestines stopped cooperating with me.

    7 lbs ?? What are these archaic measurements and why do most Irish people insist on using them.

    That's roughly 3 kg according to Google. It's extremely easy to lose if you just focus.

    I love my meat, but I dropped 10 kg from avoiding animal products and only having rashers, eggs, etc. once every two weeks as a treat.

    As a rule, avoid meat, dairy, eggs and saturated fats. If you must eat meat, stick to lean poultry and/or fish. Drink lots of water. Go for a brisk 30 minute power walk every day religiously.

    In regards the hand job - how many reps and sets do you recommend?

    Why not just eat a 7lb Turkey. Then few hrs later do a 14lb sh1t. That should do the trick.

    Matthew McConaughey lost 2.5 lbs a week for Dallas Buyers Club by eating 5 ounces of fish for lunch and dinner, small amounts of vegetables with each meal, and egg whites for breakfast. His daily treat would be a small amount of tapioca pudding. Did not even need to exercise on that diet.

    Not to be recommended OP!
