How to loose weight quickly

Hey y'all, I'm really really sorry for not posting lately...mostly it was due to my internet connection cos I seem to be having major problems connecting to the internet from home lately plus I don't have a laptop right now since I needed to send it for repair and I'd rather not use my old PC since it crashes constantly. Therefore I'd rather post from the PC I have at work.
Anyway, if you scroll down to the post I left on 7th January, I mentioned a website I had found which tells you that you can loose weight without exercising AND by eating all you want one day a week. I found the website, if you need to read what this guy(Tim Ferris) says then click here. I just read it again this morning and it seems that I did not understand correctly what this guy was saying...and I've been doing it all wrong. For those wondering: yes I've been a real pig and ate a lot this past weekend cos I thought that since I kept my diet during the rest of the week it would be OK. However after visiting Tim Ferris' blog I've been feeling guilty. Tim Ferris says that during the week you cannot eat carbohydrates ...NO carbs. This is kinda similar to the south beach diet however instead of reverting to a regular carb-based diet after two weeks, Tim Ferris says that you need to continue eating protein until you reach your ideal weight (and you can eat all you want on Saturday).
For all those who have trouble knowing which foods are carbohydrate-rich and which are not I'll be listing them here:

• All bread (including brown-bread/whole grain)


• cereals (including low fat cereals)


• potatoes


• rice (including brown rice)


• anything that has lots of sugar(these have the worst kind of carbs: simple carbohydrates, which, unless you exercise immediately afterwards, are immediately assimilated by the body and are converted to fat )


• Fruit (Fruit has fructose which is refined sugar)

To make things easier for you to understand: avoid anything that has starch, flour or sugar. So you might be asking: What can I eat? It is important to eat things which have a lot of fibre and proteins. Eating some fats is OK unless you over do it (AVOID saturated fats). Vegetable oils such as sunflower and olive are actually good for you (again: don't over do it) and they can help you maintain a low level of cholesterol.
The following are things that the Tim Ferris' diet will allow you to eat:

• Lean meat


• Chicken (without the skin)


• Turkey


• Tuna


• Legumes (beans, lentils, peas and peanuts)


• Vegetables


• egg whites (you can leave one egg yolk for flavor)

Tim Ferris didn't really explain how this diet works so I'm going to explain it for you:
The body burns Carbohydrates for energy and all carbs not burned up by exercise or the body's basic metabolic rate, are converted to fat. When the body does not have anymore carbohydrates to burn, it will turn to stored fats. When the body runs out of stored fats (this happens in the late stages of Anaroxia and Bulimia(very bad and disgusting if you ask me)) it will start using proteins in the muscles as energy. Therefore what this diet does is to limit the carbohydrate intake so that the body uses up stored fat as the main source of energy. The intake of proteins maintain the muscles. All necessary vitamins are taken from the meat and vegetables.
As I've already said in a previous post, it's very difficult for me to follow such a diet because Carbs are present in every dish that I come across. However I will make an extra effort to change my current diet to suit a low-carb one.
I'll keep you posted on any developments ;)
