My Diet???? Help?????????????????????????
Hi!
Ok I want to go on a 800 calorie diet only for a few weeks just to help lose a few pounds can you give me a menu or something that adds up to 800 calories a day or just some links for an 800 calorie diet?

Breakfast & Lunch:
3 egg whites = 17 each, so… 51 calories.
1/4 cup of dry oatmeal = 75 calories (eat it dry!)
1 chicken tender = 50 calories (+/- 20 depending on exact size)
2+ Cups of water per meal.
1 multi vitamin
Dinner: Some sort of vegetable stir fry… like a bowl of green peppers, onions & some bits of chicken.
Im currently doing this, im a 187lb 5′5″ male & by the time i start to physically feel my stomach gurgle it’s time for the next meal.
Avoid snacks!!!!!!!!!!! Drink water instead.
Im not going to lecture, but here are some tips that have helped me on my reduced calorie diet.
-eat frequent small meals. purpose being to significantly boost your metabolism, thus burning more calories faster.
-snacks AREN’T bad if you eat healthy ones (low cal yogurt, fruit)
-high fiber foods (like bran flakes) help curb hunger tremendously!
ALSO NOTE, that once these “few weeks” are over, unless you maintain healthy eating habits, the weight will come back on in no time. Take into consideration possibly increasing to 1000-1200 calories as you will be burning calories a LOT faster with frequent small meals.
Hope this helped.
Wow, 800 calories a day is kind of nuts, but I will tell you low fat foods that should keep you somehwat full. You need to know that if you currently are not on a diet that a dramatic cut in calories can have the reverse effect. For example- your body is used to so many calories a day, if you go down that dramatically without excercise it could store what little food it is getting as fat because your body doesn’t know when you will feed it properly again.
Now that I have told you the bad news, here is the good news.
Progresso soup has weight watcher points on them- these soups are as little as 60 calories per serving (or 120 for the whole can). I suggest you try & eat a can of soup for dinner with a grilled cheese (on low fat wheat bread with 2% cheese & low fat butter). That meal will cost you minimal calories- about 360. Try getting slim fast shakes or meal bars to consume for breakfast & lunch. Go with a shake for breakfast (190 calories) & a meal bar for lunch (220 calories) & that will leave you with 30 calories to spare I think. However, you should try to eat some fruit throughout the day. A nectarine with your meal bar wont ruin your crazy diet! You’d go over by a few calories, but you’d be fine. If you want to lose a pound a week, you need to cut out like 3000 calories that week from your normal schedule. Just don’t be silly & starve yourself.
The problem is not it being bad the problem is that it will slow your metabolism down to a crawl and that’s really bad since it’s metabolism that burns the fat. You want to speed it up not slow it down.
Your body will go into starvation mode and to protect itself it will slow down your metabolism then it’s very hard to get it back up so you will gain weight quickly.
You will defeat your purpose. It’s best to eat 1200 calories and exercise 3-5 days doing cardio to speed up your metabolism so that even while resting you will burn fat.
Ok, no lectures but when you’re dying with a skeleton bod, call me. Please I did this, i got VERY sick and almost collasped. It’s NOT GOOD!!! Eat 1,200, burn 500 Calories and there you go. If you eat that much (800) you’re skin will get all saggy and your face will look like a vajajay. TRUST ME.
You dont need to do that. Just eat a whole lot less
no thats not good
