Diet question?

[Anonymous]

Will I lose weight if I only eat cabbage? Not the cabbage soup diet just cabbage.

yes you'll lose weight

no you won't lose any weight

[MaskedSanity]

Yes, you will.

But you'll also damage your body by depriving it of all necessary nutrients. Starvation or grass eating will slow down your metabolism and after you get to your target weight and go back to your normal diet, you'll gain all the weight back really fast.

Dieting is a stupid idea and only works temporarily. You need to change your overall diet and lifestyle, if you want to be fit and healthy your whole life.

You don't need to limit your food type intake to lose weight, just make sure to balance the amount of calories you consume vs burn.

That doesn't sound like a good/healthy way to lose weight. I'd suggest you against it.

What if @asker happens to be a rabbit though? :P

@kain7th Well, then she should also include carrots in her diet :p

You will lose weight, but because you are doing it in a unhealthy way you won't look good like you imagine.
Your aim shouldn't be to lose weight but to become fit and healthy.
That way you will look good for sure.
Not lose weight and still look unappealing from bad skin and maybe flabby skin.
Trust me don't think about losing weight think about eating good and looking after yourself , that's the trick ;)

[Nicolás25]

yes but it's unhealthy

[I_M_LEGEND]

um... thats a dumb way to do it. find your caloric needs and eat 500 less per day. you lose about a pound a week... or you can eat 1300 calories a day... but eat clean nutrition dense foods like meat and brocolli.

[MaskedSanity]

I'm eating 1200 calories per day + gym. Losing 1 kg per week easy, eating anything so long as I don't go over my daily budget.

[I_M_LEGEND]

yah, 1200 to 1300 seems to be the lowest recommended caloric intake on most weight loss sites... one more thing, oppose to popular belief, my firend whos a doctor tells me extreme weight loss over short period of time doesn't seem to have negative effects form what he's learned (aside from feeling like shit obviously). just drink lots of water but your response tells me you're doing some research=) @MaskedSanity

[MaskedSanity]

Oh yeah, I don't indulge in any fizzy/sugary drinks, it's all about the water, baby.

I think what they mean by extreme weight lost over short periods of time is when people literally starve themselves - every doctor will tell you that starving is not good for your body.

But I'm not harming myself, the food I eat is enough to sustain energy as well as get fit. :)
I also do weight training along with cardio, it's great stuff - I've gotten so much stronger too. :D

You will be extremely unhealthy and lose muscle, fat, sodium, minerals, vitamins necessary for survival, etc.

[MakeitOrDieTrying]

lol you're gonna look like hell if cabbage is all you plan to eat. You're going to lose a lot of muscle mass, it'll look like you have skin on bones, flabby.

[Klaatu51]

you will lose weight and you will die if you eat only one kind of food, sooner or later.

You'll lose muscle mass, set your metabolism to rock bottom, develop brittle nails and your hair will start to fall out, and you'll have no energy.

[kangy]

you will definitely lose weight but no good for your health

[Alcoto12]

Yeah but you'll have tons of health problems

[helva]

You will lose weight and maybe your health also.
