Hey i'v been on this diet for about 3 weeks and i'v lost almost 20 lbs.. let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions that would make it better let me know

Morning (3:30am) 1 apple, jog the the gym (1.25 miles), do my strength training, walk back, go back to sleep for a few hours

When i wake up (12:00pm) another apple (unless i go out with the family for lunch in which case i 'll have something low fat high protein such as a turkey sandwich)

Dinner(4:00pm) salad with fat free dressing, lean meat, grilled chicken, or something of that nature.

sleeping by 8:00pm

If i'm awake for longer than the above, i'll eat a side of vegetables or fruit every 2-3 hours just to keep my metabolism going.

Let me know what you think, i'd like to improve this and keep losing the weight.

  1. What You Need to Know About Caralluma Fimbriata

    Caralluma fimbriata is a succulent plant, in the cactus family, that has been used as a natural appetite suppressant in India for centuries. It's a new arrival in the family of cactii and succulent plants that are becoming increasingly popular for their appetite suppressant, and weight loss properties, as well as their ability to lower blood sugar. Supplements made from the popular hoodia gordonii cactus from the Kalahari Desert in Africa, are, for example, growing in popularity and usage in the U.S. and Europe.Like hoodia, caralluma fimbriata has been used to suppress appetite, and as a portable food for hunting. It is used to suppress hunger and appetite, and enhance endurance throughout India.

    It is also sometimes considered a "famine food," used during periods of famine to suppress appetite. For centuries, people in rural areas of India have eaten Caralluma fimbriata, which grows wild over various parts of the country. Caralluma fimbriata is cooked as a vegetable, used in preserves like chutneys and pickles, or eaten raw. Caralluma fimbriata is believed to block the activity of several enzymes, which then blocks the formation of fat, forcing fat reserves to be burned. Caralluma fimbriata is also believed to have an effect on the appetite control mechanism of the brain. Ayurvedic (traditional Indian medicine) experts have noted that there are no adverse effects when using Caralluma fimbriata, and the plant has no known toxicity. A patented, tested extract of Caralluma fimbriata has been developed and standardized by a company called Gencor. Known as "Slimaluma," the extract delivers the plant in a concentrated form. One of the only products available in the U.S. that uses the Slimaluma formula is Country Life's GenaSlim supplement, which combines the patented Slimaluma extract of Caralluma fimbriata with EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) from green tea.

    Together they reportedly have a synergistic effect on appetite control and weight loss. In several clinical trials Slimaluma was shown to be effective in reducing body fat through appetite control.If you're interested in trying this product for weight control, you can compare prices now from various online vendors.SourcesKhan B, et. al.

  3. I agree with rizazlin...

    Stagger your workouts. Over time, your body will get used the same routine and you lose less.

    I would defenitely snack more between meals and sleep less. Also don't eat big meals but have a big healthy breakfast.

    Also drinking lots of water really does help the metabolism.

    Otherwise, you seem like you've had success. Why would you want to change anything?

  4. Im actually really impressed of your dedication to losing weight. Waking up at 3:30am?

    The diet is pretty good, make sure you have 6-8 glasses of water per day and theres basically nothing else for me to add for you to improve. Its a very good diet, though maybe you should eat more calories but if your doing okay with this diet and this many calories.. everythings great!

  5. Isn't this about 500-700 calories a day? And you are a male? I admire your dedication but I think you need to increase your calorie intake to 1000 at least. I would try to eat more protein. Add some eggs in the morning. Also, you really should be taking vitamins. Where's your calcium? zinc? Great job on your weight loss though. Good Luck.
