Perhaps BBC should watch the lecture by Dr. Lustig from UCSF 😛

Was actually going to send that to you on AIM, just now. Watch carefully about the alcohol part.

There is a guy in this show just for you SC, he lived on just vitamins and water for over a year on a weight loss program. :Q

I'm watching it right now. Is it later in the show or was it just that brief mention early in it? Either way, Christ. He's a huge guy. Vitamins are definitely necessary in his case. I don't know why he would do it that way. That's weird though. You would have to get BACK into the habit of... eating? Lmao.
 
watched that and

was pretty entertaining and pretty much demonstrates how ineffective crash diets are

girl goes on 500 cal/day diet and only loses 17 pounds in 8 weeks

the thing is she looked worse after since it looked like what she lost was mostly muscle and still looked skinny fat (relative)

a healthy calorie deficit and workout regime and she could have achieved that while not feeling like crap the entire time

How heavy was she to begin with? I can't watch it from work. If she was like 130-140 pounds than losing 17 pounds is never an "only" thing.

I mainly ask because you said she "still" looked skiny fat" losing pounds when one is skiny is a whole different story from when one is 200+ pounds.
