My extended family has decided to have BIGGEST LOSER competition. The rules are simple. Each entrant pays 10 dollars to buy in. Every Tuesday we take our weight and send a picture of our scale as proof. After two months, the person who has lost the highest percentage of their body weight wins the pot!
Well it’s been one week. After losing almost 12 pounds, I thought I would outline my strategies for anybody who made the resolution to lose weight for the new years. 12 pounds in a week is a LOT of weight eh? Well here’s how I did it:
- Hardcore Atkins: follow the diet religiously, NO straying at all
- Treadmill Daily: at least 20 minutes
- Cry Every Time You See, Smell, or Even Think of ANY Food that’s Not Bacon
If you don’t mind heart disease, irritability, bad breath, and weird stuff happening with your insides, and you want to lose a lot of weight fast, try this out and see if you can a really big loser too!
I feel like crap…
Has anybody else succeeded with any other crash diets? Any tips or tricks on how to shed pounds fast? More importantly, anybody ever get on one of these diets and learn how NOT to gain all the weight back once they stop?

I met with a nutritionist and he helped me outline the details.
First of all, he said the Atkins is a bad way to go because it provides your brain with everything it needs to function properly.
He then said we should also not eat 3 meals a day, we should eat a bunch of small meals that focused on:
stone ground oatmeal, apples, oranges, strawberries, etc.
Avoid things like (I’ll list the surprising ones):
carrots, white bread, normal spaghetti (eat whole wheat, which tastes the same), cereal, lunch meat
And of course, exercise. Yours seems to be working really well, though. Nice work.

Trust me bud…it’ll work for the short term, but as soon as you fall of the wagon, and trust me, you will, your weight will return. As you know, I lost 128 pounds the right way and damn I look good! ~micheal

Congrats on the Weight Loss, Chris, but I agree with the others… you should REALLY look into Precision Nutrition by Dr. John Berardi. It’s not a fad diet. It’s awesome and you’ll end up loving it.

Why do asians need fitness? Most of them are skinny. For #1 they had to go out of their way to find a chubby lady.
