Honestly..i watched the mtv i'm obese one...and that kid that was using the surgery as an excuse to eat himself to a glutton...made me sick....i mean, i'll never ever make fun of anyone ever....but he knew exactly what was going into his mouth, and knew that he was making himself 600 pounds....its discusting and sad...and the fact that he was probably still going to continue to eat the same things after the surgery..just in smaller portions....it just blows my mind....the total lack of disregard he had for himself and his health

QUESTION!
Why cottage cheese?

I don't understand, of all the thing you could crash diet on to lose a lot of weight, why cottage cheese?
What's in it that made her choose cottage cheese over, let's say, celery (celery has "negative calories" because of the energy[fat to burn] it needs to digest)?
I consider milk, cheese, cottage cheese and all those dairy products some what fattening.


QUESTION 2!
Does water(somewhat) help you "lose" weight?

I mean, I've heard of crash dieters [and some anorexics] drinking tons of water a day, does it help?


QUESTION 3!
Why crackers?/Why cereal?

I mean, they ARE carbs, but I've heard of many crash dieters eating just a cracker or a microsized handfull of cereal for breakfast, why?

Actually, that makes sense. Some people drink a lot of diet soda and their bodies get prepared for the calories but don't get any, so they adjust their calorie needs to be higher. That happens to a lot of people. Then as soon as they don't have the perfect amount of diet soda they're addicted to one day, they overeat. I'm trying to get off diet soda right now by switching to flavored water, and then next week I'm going to try and switch to mineral water. But thats expensive still, so after that I'm going to try and switch to just plain old tap water *blech*.

yep, in the nearly 2 years since I posted that, I've been reading up on it a bit.

Well I don't want to e-mail you because you only have one post and that kind of freaks me out, no offence but there are a lot of spammers and people who give viruses out there. If you email the wrong person you can end up with a "spy" watching everything you do online.

But I'll answer your q's here.

#1: Celery contains no protein and its pretty darn hard to live off of without passing out and gettin ravenously hungry to the point that you can't even think. Cottage cheese contains lots of protein but is low in fat and lower in carbs than milk. It maximizes fullness for calories. Celery does not.

#2: Well it burns a tiny miniscule amount of calories if you drink ice water, and it supposedy helps you filil up in place of food. It won't last very long though, you'll just pee it out very shortly if you've already had enough. If you aren't getting enough water though, you can avoid making the commen mistake of eating when you're actually thirsty.

#3: Some fortified whole-wheat/high protein/flax added cereals are really really healthy and some crackers are whole grain. But eating these things alone is usually not a healthy breakfast, unless you eat a really good balanced cereal. Crash dieters usually aren't the most logical though, so sometimes they think they're being healthy with a handful of special k for breakfast.
