Anyone going to have a weight loss New Year's Resolution?

[Hoofy]

Do you like junk food?

Willing to do an experiment for me?

[Hoofy]

Here's the 30 day plan. (Let's face it - most NYRs only last 30 days. )

Breakfast: plain piece of toast
Lunch: chicken or ham sandwich with two slices of bread; can insert lettuce, no mayo or butter
Dinner: one medium doner kebab with chilli sauce

Drinks: only water, black tea (no sugar, milk), black coffee (no sugar, milk), no juice, no colas (diet varieties permitted)

Snacks: none

Exercise: if you already exercise or play sport, then keep doing it. If you don't do anything, then 30 minutes walk 3 times a week.

Let's see if you don't lose weight.

Warning: you'll probably feel st and hate it. You'll certainly hate kebabs. Also, I'm no medic so best not follow my advice.

So, who's in?

[Arbs]

Me, I'm looking to cut out all(most) bad stuff next year. Started in the last quarter of 2012 and the differences were almost instant! Progress is slowing down now! Going to Florida in July so that is my goal!
What's your experiment?

Well done with your progress so far.

See my second post. It's the opposite of what you want to do but should get the results you want.

I estimate it's about 1900 calories a day - below a typical adult male's TDEE.

Weight gain is the aim. I'll continue doing what I was doing- oats, milk & whey only through the day, then a normal meal at tea time. Then eggs, milk and oats before bed.

Sounds good - I've decided to increase my calorie intake and attempt to bulk. Gonna aim for 10-15% more than I need and see how I get on come March.

I suppose I could just bulk by eating TWO doner kebabs a day but I would rather not.

Clean foods = clean gains. Seem to be gaining weight with very little fat, no IF in sight either

Yes, that's my plan - eat relatively clean, eat just over TDEE. Since I'm now looking to bulk, I'll drop the IF. I can use IF as a tool later on if I'm not happy with fat I may be collecting.

Perhaps I'll use Intermittent Fasting intermittently.

From your video earlier, you bloody well don't need to gain any more weight.

Cheeky - that was after an 8 year cut. You can tell I know my schnizz.

I'll keep trying to eat more healthily when I get the choice, just like I have been doing. It's not a resolution as such.

Can't do your suggested plan for assorted reasons though - why that in particular? It's very specific. Don't think many people could eat the same menu every day for 30 days.

Probably try and gain another 3 kg of lean mass and try not go below 5% BF (at 6% now). I've go another 1/2 months of winter training in the gym before tennis & basketball season starts where I'll need to eat like a horse to put on weight.

Currently got some honey glazed pork loin sizzling away under the grill for my bedtime protein snack

Does the doner come with chips?

No! That'll be worth another 600 calories and put you at best at maintenance but more likely you'll gain.

Just to prove once and for all that you can lose weight eating doner kebabs. If someone is willing to try a similarly awful diet, I'll do some research and put together a more varied way of killing yourself losing weight. Anyone?

I am having the odd kebab here and there (about once a week). Mind you, I have a chicken shish, and the only condiment I use is chilli sauce.

Could you do a doner twice a week if I threw in some Big Macs and such?

Isn't the answer to that a given (in your favour)?
The risk being it is easier to fall off the proverbial wagon or lose slowly.

Managed it with liquid cream cake consumption rather than kebabs & a variation of a fasting diet as opposed to daily consumption of filth
