diet

[Dr Rick Daris]

stepped on a scale at work three weeks ago and realized that i have gained almost twenty pounds in the last 2-3 years. immediately implemented a super hardcore diet routine. breakfast bar type thing in the morning. six inch subway submarine sandwich (no cheese or mayo) and sunchips for lunch. plenty of water throughout the day and a sensible dinner. no snacks after dinner and only light/lite beer except on special occasions. down 1.5 pounds already. i'll be sure to provide consistent updates to this breaking news story.

Good plan. Make sure you are getting enough calories though. If you don't your body will turn everything into fat.

Gained 30 lbs in 6 months after getting promoted a while back. Switched my diet, too.

Breakfast: half/cup oatmeal with low-fat vanilla yogurt, strawberries, bananas, blueberries and walnuts (not bad).

Lunch: Also subway. Either oven-roasted chicken or club. No cheese and only vinegar dressing.

Sunchips are essentially worthless. Why eat that garbage?  Just get every vegetable subway has and put it on your sandwich rather than sunchips.

"sensible dinner" sounds so easy but in reality it's not.

That's bullshit and not true at all.

1) Just get every vegetable subway has and put it on your sandwich rather than sunchips.

2) "sensible dinner" sounds so easy but in reality it's not.  

1) totally do this. Carrots, spinach, etc.
2) Yeah. I'm terrible at this.

The key to a sensible dinner is to plan ahead.  If you can't remember to plan ahead, here is an acronym I use that may help:

I think he was misguided in what he heard. If your body starts dramatically dropping it's energy use due to severe caloric constriction, it will "hoard" fat. Meaning, if you were to go and eat a buffet and go crazy after days/weeks of essentially starving yourself, your body will want to make as much of the excess calories into fat because it won't know when it will get to eat again. That's one theory anyway.

It's just a theory.  A bad one.

Also, replace beer with hard liquor and coke zero (<--super healthy tip from p90x diet plan)

aspartame 

A light beer might actually have less calories than the hard liquor. 

Don't worry about aspartame, nothing has been proven.

Good plan. Make sure you are getting enough calories though. If you don't your body will turn everything into fat.

Not sure if the body turns everything into fat but the calories thing is a factor though, you want to cut your calorie intake to less than your daily needs but not so much that your body thinks you are starving it and kills your metabolism.  One pound is 3500 Calories so if you can cut that many out in a week you can lose about a pound a week in a reasonable manner.
