Suzanne Somers Diet Progress Report

**Jasun** · 09-19-2006, 12:05 PM

15 lbs.

I've lost 15 lbs.

And I have cheekbones.

And a neck.

And the slightest hint of abs.

I've kinda given up on the dream of having a full 6 pack by November, but I'll have one by early next year anyway..

but MAN, I'm missing beer most of all.

I have a really easy diet plan, I use every few months to lose a pound or 2. You can eat anything you want for one meal, but you can only eat one meal every 3 days. You will lose weight LOL and do not have to pay anyone for food or a BS book.

Max, that is one of the most unhealthy things you can do to your body. It may "work" when you are younger, but in the long term you are going to do serious damage to your body. Please, take good care of yourself.

Well I do not know about all that man, it can be really bad for you if you take it to far “anorexia” but its not as bad as being like 50 ponds overweight. I have also heard some studies that say a starvation diet can actually be much better for you, and can equal a much longer life. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/...in514443.shtml their are many other studies being done now about this as well, I am sure the people that sell diet food will say differently, but fasting can really be Very healthy.

Jasun, Congrats!

Hey, maybe we can be there as moral support for each other at the Gay Phoenix Forum. I just started the Zone Diet yesterday. I'm doing the daily meal delivery which has been tasty so far, but I won't have that luxury in Phoenix.

Maybe if I tell everyone here that I'm on the diet, then there will be a couple of hundred people there that can beat my ass when they see me going for the Vodka and Cheesecake at the conference.

Have you read that report???

"In two and half years Pomerleau has lost 45 pounds. The extreme thinness has meant more brittle bones and a decreased libido, but his health, he says, is better than ever:"

That's pretty messed up. I have terrible eating habits but I'm working on changing it. I know my health is being compromised by what I eat. It's simply a matter of eating healthy foods rather than crap. It's just a matter of getting away from fast food and getting back to eating veggies for me.

Well that might have been true for him, and I tried to use the most creditable source I could find, but those are both easy problems to fix. More calcium, and some testosterone replacement would probably fix both problems. This guys is like 50+ or something to start with from what I recall.

This is still a on going area of study and I am sure you can fine some that will disagree, but its really not as bad as some try to make it out to be for various reasons.

Congrats, Jasun! That's great. I think I'm going to have to look into this diet. I need to lose my belly.

You know.. it's funny you should mention Phoenix. I was.. and remain.. a bit concerned about old habbits.. one of mine being a total drunken pig at convention parties.

I mean, I get my business done and all, but being a Rep of "Fratmen", I'm kinda expected to be a drunken rowdy Fratboy. Which, to be fair, is pretty much what I am.

hoever.. sure.. how's this.. we'll hang out together, make sure we stay away from the cheese cake, stay away from the ice cream cakes and chocolate mouse.. and maybe stick with Soda and lime one of the nights?

**Jasun** · 09-20-2006, 01:24 PM

Oh, and Max.. Remember... next time you're going to give advice on any subject?

Don't.

Any sensible trainer will tell you that you're always allowed ONE cheat day a week. Take advantage of it at Phoenix!
