What would happen if I just ate lettuce everyday?

[Anonymous]

So I'm on a max 800 calorie diet and I'm trying to figure out if drinking lettuce and eating coke zero would keep me happy. I dont care about taste, I have forgotten about meat.
lettuce is around 8 calories per serving and I love soda. I am planning on losing 60 lbs very fast In 5 months

Yr doing it all wrong. If you want to have even a remote chance of having this work, without doing all sorts of damage to yr body, you should pretty much eat nothing BUT meat.

You can get an 800 cal/day diet to work, IF those 800 calories are almost exclusively protein. Zero carbs, other than perhaps 10-15 grams of fibrous vegetables (so you can actually have bowel movements). As close to zero fat as you can humanly stand.

This diet is medically tested and proofed. It's known as the protein-sparing modified fast (PSMF). It totally works, and you'll keep just about 100 percent of yr body's healthy mass, too -- IF you also get into the gym, and do mid-range sets (6-8 reps) of decently heavy weight.

You can just google PSMF diet and read away. But, you can build out the diet with lean meats like chicken/turkey breast, pork shoulder, pork tenderloin, etc. It's not super fun, and you'll get really sick of eating dry foods, but it sooooo works. And you won't damage yr metabolism, provided you stay above 800-900 kcal/day (≈200g protein + trace fats + trace carbs).

If you do this, make sure to take vitamins. I don't agree with it but cannot stop you.

You would lose weight very quickly. Without proper nutrition/vitamins, you'd start craving foods based on your body's need. (Dark chocolate for magnesium, dairy for calcium, meat for protein, etc.).

Mix up your salads. Do kale salads, baby spinach salads, etc.

Be safe and listen to your body's needs!

First of all thats really bad and unhealthy if you're wanting to lose weight its important to speed up your metabolism and by drinking coke zero you're most likely going to store a lot fat around your mid section. Please educate yourself before you do this, also 60 lbs, you do know that muscle weighs more than fat so someone that is about 100 lbs could loo heavier than someone who is fit and 115?

You'll become malnutritioned very, very quickly. And not only would you be starving your body of energy, but you'd be starving it of vital nutrients. That'd be a huge mistake at any age, and an even bigger one in your teen years.

My advice: only eat something if it came straight outta the ground or it had a momma (whole fruits, vegetables, limited grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds). Don't eat too little, but don't eat too much. You'd probably be safe at something like 1400 calories per day.

Oh, and skip on the chemical-laden Coke. Drink water every day -- lots and lots of it, but not too much. Green and black tea are great options too.

Nope bad move. You need a protein substitute not to mention the mountain of vitamins & minerals you'd be missing out on. Being a vegetarian is fine but any healthy vegetarian will tell you you need a very large variety of plants to function properly. Keep it as colorful as possible and make sure nuts and beans make it in there somewhere and you'll be fine.

In all honesty on this diet you'd end up in the hospital before reaching your target weight.

[RationalMale]

if you want to really do a low calorie diet, go to the sports nutrition aisle at wal mart or target and get high protein bars. they actually contain nutrients so you don't completely starve your body of the nutrition it needs to function.

and seriously? crash diets are not how to do it. if you want to lose weight, add a physical activity, and cut your calories somewhat. you want to be able to maintain your diet. eating lettuce and diet coke will make you lose weight, become unhealthy from malnutrition, and then regain that weight once you eat normally.

in short? fatigue, immune deficiency, infections, rashes, hair loss, possible organ failure, and of course death.

If you're serious about losing weight fast, feel free to message me and I can provide you with a diet plan that will work.

this is the only body you're going to get. Take care of it.

1) Drinking Coke Zero isn't good because that actually has more sugar. So I would stick to drinking water.

2) Why not mix lettuce with other vegetables? I love boiled cabbage, carrots, potatoes and more. I usually do eat them with meat, but you're not eating meat right now.

If you eat breakfast (like oatmeal) and then that during lunch while not eating dinner (I only eat twice a day anyway), then you should be fine. :D

[Luv2BRealExotic13]

It isn't about eating less it's about eating right. You might eventually start missing the taste of meat bc you're starving yourself of a lot of nutrients. If you eat the right vegetables than you'll get a lot of vitamins that you need and you won't crave unhealthy food or meats.

Been there, done that.

I was anorexic for 5 years and learned all the tricks, you might see yourself as loosing weight now but you will be unhappy and binge for sure, your body will need it and your brain has to freak out at some point. After treatment I gained a lot of weight but what helped me to loose it again so fast was the raw til 4 diet, in just the first 2 weeks I lost 12 lbs, just be careful to follow the original one from freelee the banana girl.
I've been on that diet since and never been happier nor lighter.

That won't work. If you consume less than 1200-1500 calories a day, your body will go into starvation mode, which it'll store everything it possibly can that you eat. Eating good foods speeds up your metabolism which makes you burn faster. And calories aren't all you have to consider. The fastest way to lose weight, eat 6 small meals a day that make up about 1500 calories, and cardio exercise. I changed my diet to to about 1700 calories a day and lost 10 lbs in about 3 weeks. Started exercise and and it came off at the same rate. You also need to consider protein, fat and carbs. You're intake will be based on height and weight and age. And regular coke is actually better for you than coke zero. But please don't do 800 calories a day, you can do a lot of harm to your body that way

Don't just eat lettuce there r lots of food u can eat that have very few calories, next drinking soda still has sugar so I recommend water, milk, and green tea because most other beverages won't allow u to loose as much weight

[BaileyisDarcy]

You are aware that lettuce has very few nutrients in it? It has maybe, oh, 2% of your daily dietary needs.

You will get very sick eating just lettuce. That's what will happen.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

you need to eat more than 800 calories. if you want to lose weight, you actually have to eat shit. if you really want to lose weight, increase your cal intake so you have energy to actually be able to burn it off by exercising.

I lost 40 pounds in three months eating nothing but high-fat unprocessed meat and eggs. Unlimited ground beef, pork, steaks, etc. No dairy, no carbs, no plants. I was eating 2000 to 3000+ calories a day with no exercise and the fat melted off.

For months, I was 158 pounds at 6 feet tall. No fat on me.

[goingone1]

You would be vitamin deficient. Spinach is good. Lettuce is not nutrient dense. You need a balanced meal, and this sound like an eating disorder. I would speak with a nutritionist.

[mooky06]

That sounds more like it would do more damage then any good

[Yellow_]

You will lose a pound maybe.

But will gain it back once you get back to your original diet.

[mutedaisy]

You are going to be so sick...

[goretcki]

That's a horrible way to lose weight
