the trick is to find a way to play the numbers that you can live with EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. being a slender person isn't about going on a diet. even if you do reach your desired goal you are going to stop and gain it all back again. you know this is true because you've probably done it.
HERE'S MY SYSTEM:
first, the math.
the human being burns 1200 calories the day just being alive. chances are if you're fat this is all you're burning, sitting there at your desk all day. you burn AN ADDITIONAL 550 calories while sleeping at night. therefore, come in under 1750 on average every day and you're losing weight. you don't even have to exercise, i don't. all you have to do is be alive and come in under your numbers for the day.
a pound of fat (a big fist sized mass) is 3500 calories. by doing the math you can see the rate at which it's possible to burn fat.
i find it difficult to do that every day, so i take two days out of the week (monday and thursday) to come in WAY below the quota, which makes up for the rest of the week. around 300 calories. the day's food consists of two cans of soup (low calorie and filling, make sure to read the label for calorie content), diet sodas and coffee or a blue monster to keep my energy up. generally i find that fast day 1 (monday) undoes whatever damage i did over the weekend, while the majority of fat burning is done on fast day 2 (thursday). this practice of fasting is normal in some cultures (just not in our CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME society here) and it gives the digestive system a chance to clean itself out regularly and not get filled up with bum snakes and shit.
for the rest of the week i eat 4 meals of around 300 calories each. i usually eat at work so this is usually some microwave thing like lean cuisines and hot pockets. your stomach shrinks during fast days so you'll find it takes much less to fill you up. NEVER eat late because it's pointless. you won't get to use the energy because you'll be asleep and it will add needless calories.
the only time i indulge in a high-calorie meal is when i'm taking a girl out or trying something new or genuinely interesting and worth it. this isn't a sacrifice, it's how a human should live.
this works great for me because it never feels like i'm doing without or sacrificing anything. i get to indulge on great foods and feel thin and energetic all the time. you don't have to ever weigh yourself because as long as you don't do anything stupid the pounds will just fall off.
