Liz,

Whey protein (or protein in general) does have a slimming effect mainly because

#Protein increases your metabolism
#Protein reduces your appetite
#Protein maintains your metabolism even on a low-calorie diet

The whey & soy protein is just a way I for me to get you to include enough protein in your diet to lose weight but...

I have recommened to other people who can't stand the taste of protein to substitute the whey protein with another PURE source of protein that's under 100 calories like a 80 calorie can of tuna for example so to answer your question...

YES - protein is important and...

NO - whey or soy isn't neccessary if you replace it with other sources of protein and by the way...

GREAT JOB on losing 4 pounds so far!!

Adrian Bryant | 05.22.08 - 10:44 am

Yussef,

Yes - It's a good idea to add a gym workout to this weight loss plan

Adrian Bryant | 05.23.08 - 10:22 pm

sheila,

You want to eat 2 whole raw fruits and/or veggies so for example...

You can eat 2 raw carrots or 2 apples or... 1 carrot and 1 apple,

Adrian Bryant | 05.23.08 - 10:21 pm

Bride to be 6/28,

Do Not substitue V8 for raw fruits and veggies.

For your low bodyweight - you may not be able to lose 13 pounds with this plan (you will lose weight!) but...

By late sunday night - I'm posting a plan called "how to lose your last 10 pounds" which may be better for you so give me your email address and i'll send it to you as soon as it's posted

Adrian Bryant | 05.23.08 - 10:19 pm

Hello Adrian,

Your website is the BEST! For the raw fruits and veggies, is it okay to substitute with a can of V8? My wedding is on 6/28 and I hope I stay committed to this, I'm 5'2", 128 lbs trying to get to 115 lbs the least - I'm 31 and my metabolism is slooooo....

Anyway - thanks for your help -LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the website!!

Bride to be 6/28 | 05.23.08 - 7:46 am

lynn,

Go here to get your motivation back

Will this help you lose 25 pounds in about 6 weeks? Maybe but I would shoot for 15-to-25 pounds by July 7th and...

Fat burners won't do any harm (as far as i know) and like I told cheyenne - Not taking the fat burners WILL NOT make or break your weight loss dreams

Adrian Bryant | 05.21.08 - 5:19 pm

Aleena,

Make sure you use only ONE 80-to-120 calorie scoop of protein and the protein helps speed up metabolism while decreasing appetite

What workout are you doing & how much do you weigh?

Adrian Bryant | 05.21.08 - 5:12 pm

cheyenne,

The ones I have listed are safe and to my knowledge have no known side effects but if you're overweight...

Not taking the fat burners WILL NOT make or break your weight loss dreams but if you were normal weight then you may need fat burners to give you a little weight loss boost since it's harder for normal weight people to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.21.08 - 5:10 pm

hi iv been doin dis plan for a week but hav noticed no change
im jus wondering whether the protein powder is causing more unneccasary calories?
wat is it for anyway?
thanks

Aleena | 05.21.08 - 2:25 pm

Beth,

I don't know - it depends on how much you weigh, your motivation, and what exercise routine you use - Once I know a little bit more about you - i can more accuraltey answer your question

Julian,

How long have you've been doing your current weight loss plan and how much weight are you losing per week?

What kind of workout are you doing now and more importantly - DO you know exaclty how many calories you're eating everyday? and...

I advise you eat at least 4 times a day

Adrian Bryant | 05.18.08 - 3:18 pm

You probably need to focus more on gaining some muscle (not a lot) in your lower body to help firm and shape your legs to make them look slimmer or smaller - Go here to see leg exercises

Adrian Bryant | 05.18.08 - 3:15 pm

Lisset,

Yes - it's very possbile and Make sure add some good weight loss workouts to your help you reach your weight loss gaol.

Adrian Bryant | 05.18.08 - 3:13 pm

rani,

At least try to have "1" fruit or vegetable before meals - Eating Fruits and vegetables is like eating negative calories that helps you lose weight faster

for example...

When you eat an 85 calorie apple - Your body may have to burn 95 calories to digest that apple so in this example... You'd burn 10 calories every time you'd eat an apple so...

The more RAW fruits & veggies you eat... The easier it'll be for you to maintain your weight &... If you eat lots of fruits & veggies while on a weight loss plan - you'll lose weight much faster.

Adrian Bryant | 05.18.08 - 3:12 pm

do i have to have 2fruit or veg before each meal?
can i not just have 1 before each of my 5 meals
i am disciplined and have enough self control to limit my calorie intake so i most probably will not overeat
please anser
thanks

rani | 05.18.08 - 3:04 pm

Adrian Bryant | 05.15.08 - 9:39 pm

fatty,

first I want you to go here and read how to get motivated to lose weight fast and then...

I want you to wake up every morning thinking about how people are making fun of you calling you fatty (it may be painful for you at first) but I want you to use that to motivate and give you the energy you need to lose weight and then before you go to bed every night - i want you to imagine yourself being 15 pounds lighter (or more) at the wedding and the surprised looks on all the faces of the people who called you fatty when they see a slimmer you att he wedding.


As for the exercise routine You can do this weight loss workout here but you want to start off doing phase 5 and..

You're more than welcome to contact me again if you need more help

Adrian Bryant | 05.15.08 - 9:37 pm

For my exercise, I either do one of The Hip Hop Abs workouts or Turbo Jam, which I think is more intense, I do either 20 minutes a day or 40 minutes is I have enough energy.

I weigh myself every morning before my meals since I know eating and drinking makes one fluctuate.

I have noticed changes. There is a little more definition on my upper abs, not much but it's noticeable.

I also went from a size 16 pant size to a size 14, but that's also do to what I was doing before.

When I went to the gym a few days ago I noticed I gained more muscle. I went from a 39% body fat percentage to 34% which is the maximum percentage one should have.

Thanks!

Anonymous,

The soya nuts are fine but YOU and everyone else doing this diet should really try to get a PURE source of protein like whey or soy (BEST) or a pure protein source like lean fish, beef, or chicken that's under 120 calories.

Doing the intervals in the evenings is fine but anything you can do in the mornings is much bettter and...

You should shoot for 15-to-20 pounds in 3-to-4 weeks

Adrian bryant | 05.15.08 - 9:29 am

Omayra ,

You're doing everything RIGHT and you are doing what you need to do to Lose weight which is eating less and from what you've told me - you're doing that and exercising more and you're doing that (can you tell me exactly what exercise routine you're doing and how long you've been doing it?)

If you do get hungry only snack on fruits & veggies (no nuts) and you can stop using the direutic drink know - you could be getting extra calories from that but...

I don't think it's going help too much since you're following a rather healthy lifestyle and I doubt it's going to help flush out any extra water weight from your body and you can drink 2-to-3 liters of cold water daily as a calorie free diruetic anyway

Are you weighing yourself at the same times during the day? - your weight flucuates thruout the day.

Have you noticed any good changes in your appearance or your clothes fitting better due to a slight gain in muscle?

Double check and make sure you're not going over the 300 calorie mark at each meal and...

I could be wrong about the water retention fact meaning that the 2 pounds you gained back was mostly water but even if Iam wrong - I don't think you have to worry about that too much because your diet and exercise lifestyle is good enough to battle any long term water retention problems.

Write me back with your thoughts so we can both figure this thing out but in reality...

I think you're doing fine and I wouldn't worry about this small bump in the road and just keep going until you hit your weight loss goal

Adrian bryant | 05.15.08 - 9:22 am

It's been about 5 days since Ib started this plan and I lost 2 pounds and gained them back. I excercise at minimum 5 days a week and 6 days max. That's 20-40 minutes in the mornings.


This is my diet,

Breakfast,

1 large orange and 1 large banana
1 scoop of whey protein powder with 8oz of skim milk

if i'm still hungry i have 2 scrambled eggs but I'm mostly full by the time I eat the latter

Lunch:


I have 4 cups of salad greens with a low cal dressing, one large apple,

a scoop of whey protein and 8 oz of skim milk

If I'm still hungry, I eat a WW Smart Ones frozen meal which is about 300 calories

Dinner:

4 cups

I have 4 cups of salad greens with a low cal dressing, one large apple,

a scoop of whey protein and 8 oz of skim milk

If I'm still hungry I eat a serving of lean meat.


For snack, I have a raw fruit and a 1/4 cup of almonds.

If I'm hungry between meals I'll grab another handful of almonds or walnuts or an apple

I drink about 64 oz of water a day.
as well as 60 oz of the diuretic drink mention on here.

I take 4 gelcaps of Applied Nutrition Green Tea Fat Burner as well.

Am I doing anything wrong?

I've already lost over 20 lbs of water weight after going on a low calorie diet 2 months ago. I weighed 206 and now I weigh 184.

Thanks

Omayra | 05.15.08 - 7:44 am

Hi Adrian,

are soya nuts an acceptable substitute for whey/soy protein in place of the almonds to have before each of my 0-300 cal meals, along with the 2 fruits and/or veggies? In half a bag (25g) there is 100 calories, 9.4g protein and 5.4g of fat of which 0.7g saturates.
Also, for the 2 fruits could I eat half a large mango and a medium sized apple or is this too much? I just started on the diet plan this morning (unfortunately without the whey/soy protein & fatburners), here is what I did/ate:

8.30 am: Woke-up had a glass of water followed by a cup of green tea. Straight after this I did..
-1,400 steps on mini-stepper (200 calories burnt).
-Tricep dips -3 sets of 8 reps, 2 mins rest between each set.
-Tricep kickbacks with a chair- 2 sets of 20 reps, 2 mins rest between each set.
-Seated overhead tricep extensions- 2 sets of 20 reps per arm, 2 mins rest between each set.
-stretches for 5 mins.

I did your 'get rid of flabby arms' workout rather than the recommended pre-breakfast interval workout because I cant do all the skipping and jumping- jacks earlier in the morning or I will wake up everyone in the house! Lol. Is this ok for me to do instead, then perhaps do the interval workout later in the evening if I get the chance? Could I still expect to lose 20-30 pounds in 3-4 weeks if I do it like this? Im 19, female, 5'5, 211 pounds. Im sorry to keep asking you questions but any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Carolyn,

This plan (or any other weight loss plan) will work for you but for your height and weight you should expect to maybe lose your first 5-to-10 pounds quickly but after your weight loss will get slower as you lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.14.08 - 10:02 pm

Hey Adrian,

I was just wondering if this plan is right for me...im 19 yrs old, 5'3 and 130 pounds....i was looking to lose about 20 pounds.

Thank You so much

Carolyn | 05.14.08 - 1:55 pm

Yes - it's ok to eat a weight watchers meal or lean cuisine for lunch as long as it's in the calorie count below 300 and...

Anonymous,

No - the tuna & almonds don't count towards the 0-300 calorie meal but if you can't find whey or soy - try to find a pure protein source that's less than 120 calories

Drinking green tea is OKAY

Adrian bryant | 05.14.08 - 8:44 am

Hi,
I'm 5'4 more or less (165cm)and between 68-69 kilos (I guess that's about 150). I'm a late sleeper and tend to go to bed early in the morning and sleep until about noon. Out of habit I try not eat after seven (unless I haven't gotten around to eating). With this diet should I still continue with eating 4 times a day or only on those days when I actually get up early? How much weight can I expect to lose? Also, regarding your other suggestions the average weather where I live is over 100 degrees (41C) with a 50% humidity, since I often walk 45 minutes a day in this weather, will that affect my salt intake? I'm a salt-a-holic who is slowing down on intake, but actually crave salty things over sweet. (I drink about 4 liters of water a day).

Many thanks with these long questions. Best regards!!!

LovelierLean | 05.13.08 - 10:31 pm

Hopeless & Anonymous,

Try to find a pure (or almost pure) protein portion that's no bigger than 120 calories to replace your whey or soy protein.

You may be able to find a pure protein source from baked chicken, turkey, fish or lean beef

hi adrian
i started ur diet today and was determined to do it prefectly
i went out yday and bought a large tin of soy protein powder and it tasted ABSOLUTELY DUSGUSTING.i threw it all up in the end..
is there anything else I can use instead of soy protein..?i saw earlier uv mentioned fish instead but im a vegetarian so thats not an option..
please help!

Liz,

NO - eat your fruits/veggies , protein shake, and your 0-t0-300 calorie meal based on hunger level back-to-back (DO NOT take 30 minute breaks in between)

I'd prefer if you did get hungry during the day that you eat raw veggies (raw fruits are okay) but veggies tend to kill your appetite much longer while eating fruits by themselves may cause you to get hungry again quicker

Adrian bryant | 05.11.08 - 10:39 am

Liz,

Yes - this will help speed up your weight loss a bit since cayenne pepper itself raises your metabolism some but...

Make sure you eat your fruits/veggies , protein shake, and your 0-t0-300 calorie meal based on hunger level back-to-back (DO NOT take 30 minutes in between)

Adrian bryant | 05.10.08 - 7:28 pm

Hi,
Thank you very much, I have started on the diet and I’m doing fine. Though I have not started seeing visible results yet but I’m positive about things. This is my routine:
- 1 cup of Green tea with honey in the morning
- 2 Whole fruits of Carrots, Avocados and Tangerines
- 30mins later, a glass of Whey Protein with water
- 30mins later a small portion of food
- 1 hour workout at the gym
- 20mins of workout in the pool (not swimming)
This has been my routine everyday for 5days now. My question is: yesterday, I added the lemon detox drink to my diet (2tbs of squeezed lemon, 2tbs of maple syrup, a pinch of cayenne pepper and 8ounces of water).
Do you think this will help me speed up my weight loss? As I said I’m 181lbs now and I’m determined to loss 20lbs by July 08.
Please, I need your advice.

should i buy fat burner?how about wu-long tea?

ramya | 05.08.08 - 7:33 am

That's OKay but...

Since it's harder for you to lose weight at a low body weight - you should focus more on eating better "weight loss foods" like...

Lean proteins like fish, whey, soy, chicken, and nuts and...

Complex carbs like Oatmeal, and more fruits and veggies

Adrian!
Help me babe. Im trying to follow the LOSE 20 LBS IN 3-4 WEEKS. I have only got 40 days (!!) to lose 20lbs. I am a 19year old currently weighing about 60kg and am around 5foot 2. The problem is, COUNTING CALORIES! Is it REALLY important to have two raw vegetables/fruits before each meal? I have a very hard time counting calories with my mothers home made meals (it’s a nightmare!) So I was wondering whether the 0-300 calories can be included in food products in packets (yeah I know anything in packets are bad lol). But what about if I consume only WITHIN the limit. For example… once I have had my two raw fruits/vegetable and my hunger level is 4-7, can I will eat a packet of quavers (87cal) and 30g of popcorn (120 cals) which will be within 200-300 cals. Is this not a good idea?? (Obviously avoiding all chocolates and sweets)
Please reply Adrian. Thanks Honey x

Slim Seduction ,

Advanced Green Tea, or are all good fat burners but any fat burner that has green tea in it is also effective and even the green tea diet pills you get from Wal-mart or CVS are also good but remember...

The fat burners play a smaller role and maybe an even smaller role for you since you have over 30 pounds to lose

Adrian bryant | 05.07.08 - 11:01 am

Adrian,

Do I need to take the fat burner before my exercise or before my veggies/protein/meal? I generally wake up and go for a jog around 7am. I've been taking the fat burner, running, and then eating breakfast. I do the same thing around 6-7pm but I go to the gym for weight training and more cardio. Sometimes that has me eating dinner at 8:30 or 9pm. Is this how this should be working or is that too late?

Also, if I follow the process for the first three meals and eat a reasonable 300-500 calorie meal at day end will this be as effective? I'm finding it hard to choke down a 4th protein shake...I find myself wanting solid food.

Thanks for your time!

Your pulse rate should beat least 130bpm for 20 minutes and then maybe at 95bpm for another 10-to-20 minutes.

losing 20 pounds by July is feasible

Hi Adrian,

I have my prom in about 3 weeks time and i really want to lose some weight! I'm currently 5'4 and 173lbs, realistically what could i achieve in 3 weeks time?

Also for the fat burners i've got a capsule from my local health shop called green tea extract - because i live in the UK, i couldn't find the ones you reccomended. Do u think this will be ok as it still contains the green tea? Thank you for all your help! You are very kind to do this

Priyanka | 05.06.08 - 8:33 am

MJ,

Drinking green tea is fine instead of taking fat burners

adrian bryant | 05.05.08 - 1:57 pm

Amy,

one of The main points of the whole diet is to get people to eat more veggies and fruits so they can lose weight faster but maybe a portion half the size or full size of your fist will be enough to keep your appetite in check

adrian bryant | 05.05.08 - 1:57 pm

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

I could mange some smaller portions of veggies/fruits. I was thinking I had to eat two whole apples (or the equivalent). So what is the correct portion size?

Amy | 05.05.08 - 11:12 am

Shelley,

Your workout sched is fine and blending the fruits and veggies is a good idea if you can stand the taste

Adrian bryant | 05.03.08 - 6:43 pm

Amy,

The 120 calorie scoop of whey is okay and in your case the V8 juice may work (I don't know if this will work but I'm guessing it won't be as effective as eating raw veggies)

Do you have time to eat raw baby carrots or smaller sized veggies and fruits?

Hi Adrian,
Working out twice a day just doesnt fit into my schedule but I go to the gym 4-5 days a week. I do 20-40 mins of cardio on say M/W/F and 1 hr of full body workouts on T/Th/S.
Does this suffice?

And I noticed one other question above that wasn't answered - does blending the raw fruits/vegis into a shake and adding the whey to that work (I can't get down whey in just plain water)

Thank you!

Shelley | 05.03.08 - 6:15 pm

Shelley,

Your workout sched is fine and blending the fruits and veggies is a good idea if you can stand the taste

Adrian bryant | 05.03.08 - 6:43 pm

Amy,

The 120 calorie scoop of whey is okay and in your case the V8 juice may work (I don't know if this will work but I'm guessing it won't be as effective as eating raw veggies)

Do you have time to eat raw baby carrots or smaller sized veggies and fruits?

Does a serving of veggie juice or V-8 juice count towards the 2 raw veggie/fruit requirement? I'm not sure I will always have time to eat 2 veggie/fruits four times a day, plus the meal or snack.

I'm trying the whey protein and it tastes better than I thought it would - but the calories are 120 per scoop... is that ok?

Amy | 05.03.08 - 10:33 am

Alexandra,

The low cal mayonnaise is okay

Adrian bryant | 05.03.08 - 7:59 am

Lisa,

Try eating raw veggies instead of fruity and try to change your exercise like...

You can keep walking your kids to school but after you drop them off...

Try walking faster or jogging just to shock your body and...

How much do you weigh? your weight loss could be slow due to low bodyweight or it could also be due to a long dieting history

Adrian bryant | 04.28.08 - 10:18 am

Does it matter if you are blending your fruits and or veggies to drink them as a smoothie? I have been doing my breakfast as 2 servings of fruit (usually frozen strawberries and 1/2 a banana with the protein powder and 16 oz of water) and then a salad for lunch and then another smoothie for Snack.

It seems to be going slowly. 5 lbs in 3 weeks is all.

I am 30, I am active by walking my 2 oldest children to school every day and then continuing to walk for another hour (usually at least 2 if not 3 miles) plus a second walk in the afternoon when I pick them up for school. My calories are around 1200-1800 a day.

Lisa | 04.28.08 - 1:58 am

Alie,

You don't HAVE TO HAVE the fat burner and which fat burner did you take that made you sick?

*The fat buner NEEDS TO BE USED by people who have SERIOUS WEIGHT LOSS EMERGENCIES who are trying to lose lots of weight as soon as possible for special events so for example....

If you have a wedding in 2 weeks then you need to do everything possbile (including using the fat burner -even if only helps a little bit) to lose all the weight you can to look your very best for that special event.

No foods i can think of block fat but proactol blocks fat just like Alli but without any nasty side effects

Adrian Bryant | 05.01.08 - 5:43 pm

ANU RAJA,

I eat mainly carrots, celery, onions, and broccli for my raw veggies but as far as fertilisers and bugs in them - that's something where you have to do some investigation on your own part of the veggies grown or sold in your area and...

I can't say 100& sure if any of the stuff you eat (veggies or NOT) is safe - all I can say is...

I eat brocoli and i'm fine! and if broccoli concerns you...

Eat fruits like apples, oragnes, and grapefruit or other veggies like carrots, onions, cabbage, spincach, celery and etc.

Adrian Bryant | 05.01.08 - 5:36 pm

adrian, you have mentioned that eating two raw vegetables before a meal is good, but my mum said that eating raw broccoli is not good (due to all the fertilisers and bugs in them) even after having washed them. is this true?
What kind of raw veges can I eat?

ANU RAJA | 05.01.08 - 5:10 pm

chingygurll03,

how many calories and how much protein are in the drink mix?

adrian bryant | 05.01.08 - 1:19 pm

jenn,

It's NOT 70 liters - It's 70 ounces! and YES... you can count the water mixed with whey protein towards your daily total

adrian bryant | 05.01.08 - 11:27 am

Hi adrian, just a question on the water intake. it says to drink 70 liters of ice cold water. when drinking whey protein with the water, does this count towards your daily water intake? just curious so excited to get started on the plan. also just wanted to know why no dairy in the plan? should i be taking a mulitvitamen to sub. thanx again,

jenn | 05.01.08 - 10:39 am

Amy,

Any soy/whey protein powder product is okay and raw fruits are OK for weight loss (especially apples).

The fiber and fruits and veggies makes your body burn a lot of calories to digest plus they kill your appetite making you not want to eat and lose weight fast and..

Never apologize for asking questions that'll help you lose weight - You and everybody else are welcome to ask as many questions as you like.

adrian bryant | 05.01.08 - 1:10 pm

Hello!
I'm 5'6'' and weigh 140(ish) pounds. I want to lose about 20 pounds. I've weighed around 115-120 pounds my whole adult life (then moved back with with my lovely but unhealthy-eating parents for a year after college and thus I am where I am now...). I literally gained 20 pounds in 6 months which really scares me.
In losing the weight I want to remain as healthy in eating habits as possible and lose the weight with the ability to keep it off. How long is a realistic and healthy period for me to lose the weight? Also do you recommend a specific soy/protein powder? One more question: people keep telling me not to eat fruit b/c fruits have so many carbs/sugars in them. What are your feelings on this?
Sorry for all the questions! Thanks so much!

Amy | 05.01.08 - 5:50 am

i love you adrian!
from..someone too shy to reveal herself lol
thanks so much for all your help!

PRIYA RAJA | 05.01.08 - 4:50 pm

PRIYA RAJA,

When you say you're a strict vegetarian - can you have soy protein shakes and nuts in your diet.

What about dairy?

Please explain to me what you can and can't have in your diet

adrian bryant | 05.01.08 - 1:18 pm

PRIYA RAJA,

It really doesn't matter what workout you do for weight loss as long as it's done for 20-to-45 minutes at a moderate-to-high intensity.

I have devised a weight loss plan here for you already What you need to do, how to exercise, and a daily schedule is all there

adrian bryant | 05.01.08 - 1:15 pm

PRIYA RAJA,

That's a good workout here: http://www.health.com/health/ art...1183245,00.html and You shouldn't do it everyday! 2x a week in plenty and...

Your soreness will get better as you get use to the workout and...

Your first 10-to-15 pounds will probably come off quick and easy in 4-to-5 weeks but after that (once you're down to 134 pounds) your weight loss is going to get harder but as long as you keep up your exercise regimen - Weight loss shouldnt be too much of a problem to you as long as you switch up your workout routine by doing a differnet exercise, exercising longer, and/or harder so basically...

Expect to lose 2-to-5 pounds a week for your first 3-to-4 weeks and then expect a 1-to-3 pound week weight loss as you get closer to your goals.

You get rid of double chin mainly by losing weight (bodyfat) but...

The free five minute facelift book may help with that also.

Make a goal to lose 40 pounds and keep it off permently in 12 weeks and even if you don't make it... You'll come pretty damn close to losing 40 pounds!

Contact me if you need more help!

Adrian Bryant | 04.30.08 - 1:58 pm

PRIYA RAJA | 04.30.08 - 11:51 am

Deidre,

Workout five times a day for 30-to-50 minutes each is a little excessive but before i pass judgement - What workout are you doing?

is see no problem with his plan if the workout is low intensity but you already said you was watching a workout video so it probably isnt too easy and i wouldn't workout like this everyday but...

You can workout twice a day for 30-to-50 minutes in the morning & evening but you should only do that 3-to-4 times a week and the other day you can workout once a day.

Working too much like you are know is going to lead to burn out and depression - so don't overdo it -

Adrian bryant | 04.30.08 - 7:40 am

Adrian,

im working out five times a day for 30 - 50 each times.

How much calories should I be burning with your plan, if I work out twice day?

Deidre | 04.30.08 - 6:03 am

Brad,

This plan is fine for you because with your current workout plan and with the amount of protein you'll consume on this plan...

You'll easily maintain your muscle mass while burning fat but don't expect to lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks though.

You're probably much more leaner than most people dong this plan so you should expect a 5-to-10 pound reduction in bodyfat in 4-to-6 weeks and yes...

It does matter what you eat in the 0-to-300 calories - genrally... you can eat anything you want as long as you avoid processed foods, excess sugars, salty foods, junk food, fast foods but...

Please allow a cheat day once every 7-to-10 days and hopefully this diet will kill all your cravings for bad foods.

Yes this a feasible plan you can use to lose 10-to-20 pounds in 4 weeks and to lose as much weight as possible.

1. workout twice a day - once in morning & evening
2. for your 0-to-300 calories stick to mainly weight loss foods & avoid junk foods
3. Get a fat burner
4. contact me if you ever need more help!

Yes... You can do arm toning to firm up arms

Adrian bryant |  04.30.08 - 7:53 am

Adrian,

I'm in a tight bind. I'm 25 years old, 5'3", and 152lbs. I'm the Maid of Honor in my college roomies wedding at the end of May. Ultimately, I would love to lose around 20-30lbs so that I could relive the college memories, but I'm trying to be realistic. Considering I only have 4 weeks at best, is this plan feasable? I've never been this heavy and I realize that I just have to buckle down...no more procrastination! Also, taking into consideration the protein, can I still do weight exercises so that I can tone arms (strapless dresses)?

Thanks for all your help! Goal is to get started tomorrow!


L | 04.30.08 - 1:01 am

Deidre,

How many times a day or how long are you doing the workout videos to burn almost 1700 calories a day?

Is this OK? I would have to say no because you'll overtrain quickly which could have psychologial and physical side effects hampering your weight loss efforts.

Adrian Bryant | 04.29.08 - 8:58 pm

Hi!

Im 22, 160lbs and 5'4. I want to lose 35lbs and by June 12th. I started dieting a week ago and im eating 1200 cals a day and burning 1640 cals a day doing work out vides. Is this ok? My friend said I could have a heart attack if I keep doing this...

Deidre | 04.29.08 - 12:34 pm

CeCe,

Don't do the master cleanse... You can cleanse your body by drinking 2 liters of water daily and eating plenty of fruits & veggies and so I can help you reach your 20 pound goal...

The plan will still be as effective without the fat burner but if you're not 30 pounds overweight - you may need the fat burners as a boost

Adrian bryant | 04.28.08 - 10:24 am

Hi Adrian,
First of all, thank you so much for the time you've spent helping all of us dieters! It means a lot.
I've gained some weight over the winter, and am hoping to lose about 7 lbs. in the next 3 weeks to fit back into my favorite blue dress. I currently weight 134 lbs. and am 5'5''. Do you think you're plan will work for me, or should I try something else? Also, which fat burning pill do you think is the most effective and healthiest?
Thanks a bunch!
Kelly

04.27.08 - 10:41 am

Liz,

You more than likely just need to change up your exercise meaning...

NO more walking for weight loss - try jogging, running, biking, or Go here to see the other exercises you can do to lose weight fast

Adrian Bryant | 04.26.08 - 5:06 pm

Liz,

If you was confined to a bed for 7 months then I'm almost positive that the 4 pounds you gained from walking are just old leg muscles growing back after not been used in the last 7 months but...

If that's not the case - then you have to change something like...

Change the exercise = Jog instead of walk or

Walk faster and/or walk longer

I'm always here if you need me

Adrian Bryant | 04.25.08 - 3:08 pm

Line,

So it seems you hit a plateau - Read how to break out of weight loss plateau - this may jump start your weight loss again but...

Your current diet seems fine - i wouldn't change it but you could do the basic 4 meals a day plan with my diet to see if it speeds things up a bit and YES...

I would add more veggies & fruits to the mix for your complex carbs & make sure most of your 20% fats are coming from the Fats that burn fat and lean proteins like fish...

I hope this works out for you and you stay and touch and ask me questions anytime

Adrian bryant | 04.25.08 - 11:25 am

Hi

On June 1st I'm going to be a bridesmaid in the US. (I live in Austria)

I would love to lose 20lbs or more before that time. Over the past 9 weeks I have gone from 227lbs til 206lbs, so there is still plenty to take from. I'm only 165cm.

Now I eat around 1500kcal a day, 45% proteins/35% complex carbs/20% fat, spread out on 5 meals. I get up at 0430 and run for about 45min 3-4 times a week. I usually eat breakfast at 6am.

I also do high intensity weight training 2-3 times a week with a PT. I also try to get in a long run 1.5-2 hours on the weekend.

I work out with a heart rate monitor and burn on average 5-600kcal a day on training.

My question is, would eating 4 times a day be enough?
Would I be able to lose 20lbs or more in this time?

My current weight loss is going to slow, at least I think so. So I have to try something else and came across this.

I have lost several inches, so I have toned up, but I know I haven't gained that much muscles to count for slow weight loss.

I fly over a week before the wedding so the last week I don't have that much time to work out, but the goal is to not gain anything the last week. So basically I have 4 weeks until I leave.

So basically, please help.

Thanks

Here's the answers you wanted...

1. can I drink the whey protein with skim milk? YES but... you have to count the extra calories from the skim milk as part of your 0-to-300 calorie meal

2. is liquid soft-gel green tea pills okay for a fat burner?
As long as GREEN TEA is in it - IT's OK

3. can I drink a small glass of skim milk with my small meals? Yes

Keep those questions coming if you need more help or get stuck

What exactly is your dieting history?

Do you basically focus on eating less for weight loss?

To answer your question though... YES - you will lose weight on this diet plan and any other weight loss plan because you're somewhat overweight making it easier for you to lose weight fast and I really can't predict how much weight you will lose exactly so...

All I can do is tell you to stay in touch whenever you need more help but...

Whey or soy protein is fine and You can read more about whey or soy protein and decide for yourself which one is best for you and...

Yes - your goal to lose 16 more pounds can be done with this plan but to be honest with you - it may take longer than 4 weeks since you're not much overweight plus...

Since you're playing lacross - You really can't count that as one of your weight loss workouts becasue your body is probably used to you playing lacross so...

I recommend you find another weight loss workout in addition to you playing lacross everyday but then again...

I really can't devise a healthy weight loss workout plan without knowing if this extra working out will affect your athletic ability in lacross or will it make your coach mad, and being a student - will you have time to workout extra

Sara from Atlanta,

The green tea is fine and the protein you got is fine also but try to limit your protein scoops or servings to 80-120 calories

adrian bryant | 04.23.08 - 4:38 pm

Hello Adrian,

I am sooo happy that I found this site. I have tried to read over all the information that has been provided. My start weight is 238, and I am doing the emergency diet plan for 3 to 4 weeks. My question is in regards to the soy protein and fat burners. I purchased the Edge Advant Soy Protein but it has 170 cal per scoop. And I am not capable of buying the more expensive fat burners at this time so I purchased Mega-T, green tea supplements. Will this be effective with this plan so that I can still lose the weight?
Please let me know.

Thank you,

Sara - Atlanta | 04.23.08 - 8:44 am

dee,

The amount of weight you lose depends on how overweigh you are and you need to exercise EVERY morning since this is an EMERGENCY weight loss pln but if you have no weight loss emergencies then 4x a week is fine and YES...

I do think this diet will work but Iam a little biased

Adrian Bryant | 04.22.08 - 8:59 pm

Austin,

Do you look any better after 3 weeks? It seems to me like the way yo're training you should be burning some fat while adding some lean muscle and on another important point...

You're not overweight so that could also be why your weight loss is slow and...

What kind of diet plan are you doing (are you doing this one here?)

Adrian Bryant | 04.20.08 - 4:34 pm

Shantel,

Here's what may solve your weight loss problem...

Since you've been eating on some sort of low calorie diet plan for a year now (even including mine) - Your metabolsim has adjusted and gotten use to your lower calorie intake (i'll try not to get too scientifically detailed) but basically...

You're body is smart and it knows "YOU'RE DIETING" and it's basically saying... Hey - if shantel's not going to eat that much then I'm just not going to burn that many calories by lowering her metabolism so...

What you need to do is (don't get scared) is to EAT MORE - Read point #3 here to see learn more about this

Eating more will get your metabolism reset back to the way it was meaning... it will get your body back to a state where it's burning more calories again and what i suggest you do is...

Go here to see how many calories you can eat to maintain your weight at a lightly active level and it I just did it for you based on the info you gave me and it says you need 2114 calories to maintain.

I would eat 2114 calories for at least 7-to-10 days to bring your metabolism back up to normal but
i know you're worry you may gain weight and I admit - you may gain a some but not a whole lot in 10 days but...

To keep your current weight in check you can increase the amount of calories you burn by exercising more intensly in the mornings & evengings everyday and you can limit your intense weight loss workouts to 3-to-4 times a week and You can read about other ways to increase your metabolism so you can eat more to not worry about gaining weight but get this...

You may lose 2-to-5 pounds in the next 10 days (which I'll think will really happen) because your body's fat-burning metabolism is going to get a real major boost from the extra calories you're eating (it takes energy to burn energy so it makes sense if you eat more calories for energy in your unique situation) plus... coulpe that with the extra exercie your doing - You may start to break out of your weight los rut.

Okay - so what happens after 10 days of higher calories - well hopefully your metabolism will be back in check so now...

You can go back to doing the lose 20 pounds plan here with the reduced calories but this time...

You'll only stay on my plan for only 4 days at a time and every 5th day you're going to eat 2114 calories again (or whatever # of calories you need to maintain your weight based on the weight loss calcualtor) so basically - here's your plan...

1. go 10 days straight eating 2114 calories to raise your metabolim back to normal

2. Go back to my regualr reduced calorie plan but stay on it for only 4 days at a time and every 5th day increase your calories back up tothe normalamount you need to maintain your weight.

I believe this should work - I'm confident it will based on the info you gave me and you know you an always contact me if anything goes wrong

Adrian Bryant | 04.19.08 - 11:18 am

yes, those diets were low in calories, 1100 - 1200. In the last year, I've dieted on and off and lost a total of 15 lbs. I'm using Maximum Protein that I purchased from GNC (purest grade whey protein). It's 118 calories per scoop. My scale is a HealthOMeter digital that I bought from Sam's last year.
I had only 2 protein shakes today before meals, I feel better, but I was hungrier. Also, I'm taking GNC Mega Multi Vitamins for Women daily and fish oil, a fat burner (Lipo 6 Hers) 2 x per day and drinking regular green tea (Dean & Deluca) throughout the day. That's the run down. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! May you be blessed 100x for it!

shantel | 04.19.08 - 12:13 am

Denise

It depends - I used to say 5 weeks max but one guy told me he lost 72 pounds in 10 months doing this plan but then again... he was probably really overweight as well.

The best thing to do is to go off this diet every 4 weeks and go back to eating a normal amount of calories to maintain your body weight for about 2-to-3 weeks while eating these weight loss foods

Doing this keeps your metabolism from getting to low and it may help you lose more weight by tricking your body into raising it's metabolsim to burn more calories

adrian bryant | 04.16.08 - 7:05 pm

shantel,

It's not the protein that's hurting you - it has to be something else and from your responses - it seems like your 0-to-300 calorie meals are high- protein which leads to faster weight loss and...

I do have something in mind that may sound crazy to you at first but I believe it may break you out of your rut - but before I blindly give you any advice - Tell me this...

have all the diets you been on in the past been very low in calories and how much TOTAL weight have you lost in the past 6 months-to-1 year dieting

As for the protein you're using now - Don't use MRP (meal replacement) shakes that have lots of calories - make sure you're using regualr PURE whey or soy protien and when you use it...

Use the scoop that comes in the container and use only 1 scoop of protein which should be only 80-to-100 calories & make sure you eat your 0-to-300 calorie meals based on your hunger level and...

What kind of scale are you using to weigh yourself? make sure you use the same scale at the same time everyday and try to use the more accurate scales like the one's seen in doctors offices and NOT digital scales which are inaccurate

Also - How to break out of a weight loss plateau to see any of your problems can be solved there.

Just get back to me and I'll see if I can figure something out for you but keep at this plan until then.

Adrian Bryant | 04.18.08 - 7:38 pm

Shantel,

What's your height & weight?

People experience different results on this plan - People who aren't overweight may lose only 8-to-12 pounds while overweight people can expect 12-to-30 pounds in 4 weeks

Adrian Bryant | 04.17.08 - 8:14 pm

The only reason why I recommend a fat burner in the morning & evening is beacause most fat burners don't give proper guidelines as to when is the best time to time fat burners

Adrian Bryant | 04.17.08 - 8:11 pm

Emma,

May I ask what's stopping you from eating meals?

Is it possible for you to buy nutrition bars or RTD protein shakes?

There's gotta be a solution either YOU, I, or someone can figure out to get you eating your regular meals

adrian bryant | 04.16.08 - 6:22 pm

shantel,

Just make sure you're...

1. Eating 4 meals a day
2. Eat 2 raw fruits and/or veggies plus 1 scoop of protein before each meal and..
3. then you eat 0-to-300 calories depending on your hunger level

adrian bryant | 04.16.08 - 6:19 pm

Rennie

1. YES - but make sure no extra sugar calories are added - It's better to use the green tea pills because of no extra calories

2. YES - trade coffee for green tea

Adrian bryant | 04.15.08 - 8:13 am

1.Can I drink regular green tea from the store instead of a pill? Is it gonna have the same effect?
2. Is drinking coffee bad for weight loss?

Rennie | 04.15.08 - 1:15 am

Kat,

Eat 0-to-300 calories after the fruits and/or veggies and whey protein depending on your hunger level (please read the first part of this plan again)

As for treadmill vs. olypitcal machine... The one that you put the most effort into is the best one that'll burn more calories but if your olypitcal machine has a part where you move the arms... then it may be better since it'll help you burn a little more calories by using more body parts

have fun losing weight!

Adrian bryant | 04.14.08 - 7:24 pm

Ally,

Truthfully, at your height and weight - You may not lose much weight doing any type of weight loss plan simply because you are overweight.

Listen to this... YOU LOOK FINE & you don't need to lose weight.

My best advice for you (that is if you're trying to look better or improve your body image...) is to do body sculpting exercises to firm and tone your body

If you need help doing the body sculpting exercises - please contact me.

Adrian Bryant | 04.10.08 - 10:58 pm

Sandra,

At your height & weight you're really not that overweight but...

You should be ableto lose 12 pounds in about 5-to-7 weeks following the diet plan on this page but...

You can of course lose weight much faster if you exercise in the morning & evening and/or exercise for 10-to-15 minutes 4 times a day

Adrian Bryant | 04.09.08 - 9:52 am

ashley,

Do you have any idea of how you gained weight since last fall?

Did your eating habits change? and if not - Maybe a doctor can explain why you gained weight.

Have you lost any weight lately on this diet?

Are you involved in any sports or other recreatiomnal activites that could've put on muscle?

You could be carrying around extra water weight? - Try limiting the salt (sodium) in your diet and remeber to drink lots of water + some soy protein to help flush out excess water weight (if you have any) but...

Before you try losing water weight - Get your body fat percentage checked and stay on this plan for about 5-to-7 days longer - It could be it takes time your body to adjust to this diet before you start losing weight fast.

Get back to me when you can.

Adrian Bryant | 04.09.08 - 9:25 am

Ashley,

You said "my mom thinks i look slimer but the scale isn't moving." - that's some good new at least that means you're gaining some muscle.

Is there anyway you can have your bodyfat percentage checked?

Can you tell me why or what you did to gain almost 20 pounds since last fall?

Are you or did you used to be an athlete because your body may be used to regualr exercise and to lose weight - you may have to workout more intensly than others

4 ways to quickly break out of a weight loss plateau and tell me if that helps but...

GGet back to me so we can get this problem solved

Adrian Bryant | 04.07.08 - 9:50 pm

Ashley,

have you done any diets or weight loss programs before? If so, which ones and how old are you?

Maybe you're gaining muscle - have you noticed that you look slimer but the scale still says you haven't lost weight?

I would switch the power walking to intervals like this one or do tae-bo for 40 minutes.

Also do a morning & evening workout if you have time.

Get back to me when you can - i want you to lose weight!

Adrian Bryant | 04.06.08 - 10:19 pm

Lisa,

This diet is kinda of like the diet you're on now because it's a 1200-to-1800 calorie diet and to shape up and lose inches (in the sense you're talking about) - You'll be better off doing the body sculpting exercises here to lose inches and shape up your body so...

In your case (since your diet is almost similar) I wouldn't expect much of a differnece as far as weight loss goes but I will add that...

This diet may be easier to stay on since you'll never be hungry or have massive food cravings

Adrian Bryant | 04.06.08 - 10:13 pm

Adore_Tasha,

You need to do this plan here to lose over 50 pounds instead of this lose 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks plan and...

To stop eating sweets Read have to curb cravings for sweets and Start eating these weight loss foods

Adrian bryant |  04.06.08 - 7:43 pm

ashley,

Let's try these things....

What's your current height & weight? - People who're not really overweight can expect a slower weight loss than overweight people.

Try drinking 2-to-3 liter of ice cold water a day instead of 70 ounces

Are fruits and veggies RAW?

How intense is your exercise?

If you're not overweight - YOU have to exercise in the morning & evening

Are you very hungry even after the eating the veggies & protein?

Get back to me with those answers so we can both figure this out and help you reach your weight loss goal

Adrian bryant | 04.06.08 - 7:39 pm

Jamie,

This plan WILL work if you stay on it , read how to stay motivated to lose weight before you start this or any other weight loss plan and please realize that you're NOT that overweight (maybe 5-to-10 pounds at the most) and i'm guessing you already look good but anyway... The point is this... People who aren't overweight shouldn't or can't expect to lose lots of weight (on any kind of weight loss plan)

Adrian Bryant |  04.05.08 - 9:39 pm

Caligirl,

Whey protein won't bulk you up unless you also trying to bulk up by lifting weights and women can't bulk up like men do anyway because women have lower levels of testosterone and YEs... You can drink green tea as long as long it's the pure japanese green tea

Store bought green tea is fine also as long as it doesn't contain any extra sugar calories

Adrian Bryant | 04.04.08 - 8:21 pm |

Stephanie,

What you got there is a decent plan - I would just combine it with this fast weight loss diet and you seem to be highly motivated (so that's good) and just stay in touch and contact me if you come into any problems trying to lose weight.

I know you'll make it!

Adrian Bryant | 04.04.08 - 8:04 pm

Stephanie,

You said "Im working out every day for an hour and a half, and im on a veggie, fruit, chicken and fish diet."

I think it's reasonable to say you can at least drop 20-to-30 pounds by June doing this.

Are you working out for an hour and half straight?

you may want to do 20-30 minute more intense workouts (like tae-bo) 2-to-3 times a week while you can do your hour & half workouts the other days of the week and...

Your diet seems okay (make sure to drink 2-to-3 liters of water daily) and... Follow steps 1-thru -3 of this diet and...

Stay in touch so I can help you

Adrian Bryant | 04.03.08 - 7:31 pm

Hello =) I'm 18 years old and I have a huge L.A trip coming up in early june, around the 13th.. i havent seen my relatives in nearly 10 years and i seriously want to lose weight.We're gonna be hitting up disney land and all that and I dont want to be so focused on my body that I cant enjoy the trip. I'm almost 5"11" and about 210 lbs. Is it possible to lose 30 lbs by then? Im working out every day for an hour and a half, and im on a veggie, fruit, chicken and fish diet.

Stephanie | 04.03.08 - 6:51 pm

Scott,

You should be fine if you just follow the plan exactly as is but... for your 0-to-300 calorie meals Eat only these weight loss foods may help you lose weigh faster

Adrian Bryant | 04.04.08 - 7:55 pm

I am 20 years old 5’5 and I weigh 165 lbs. I need to drop 20-30 lbs quick do you think this would work for me and what can I do to improve the chances of reaching this goal?

Scott | 04.04.08 - 6:08 pm

Jane,

You asked "would this plan really work and be effective??"

That really all depends on how overweight you are - the more overweight you are the more likely you'll lose 20 pounds or more by May 5th and if you're at a normal weight then you may still be able to lose 10-to-20 pounds by may 5th

You also asked "what if i don't take whey protein"

The whey or soy protein keeps you from not being hungry and eating so much plus it revs up your fat burning metabolsim and maintains lean muscle so...

i would try to get whey or soy protein

Need more help? Please contact me again

Adrian Bryant | 04.01.08 - 8:16 am

Melanie,

I've never tried juicing raw veggies but I guess it depends on how much of the actually veggie gets juiced (If more than 80% of the veggie gets juiced then i guess it's okay) but I've never tried it this way and I think you'll be okay losing weight doing this so...

I guess you'll be our test subject - please let us know how juicing works out for you

Adrian bryant | 04.01.08 - 6:25 am

Hi Adrian,
Thanks so much for posting this information on the internet. I'm looking forward to starting the program. I have one question. I have a juicer, and was wondering if it would be okay for me to drink my raw veggies instead of eating them.
Thanks so much!

Melanie | 04.01.08 - 12:05 am

Kristina,

Personally, I don't think it's healthy for you (at 125 pounds) to lose weight but...

If you relly need to lose weight to keep your job - I have to honest with you...

It's going to be real hard for to lose weight (even with this diet) becasue you're already at a very low weight (low bodyfat) and to put it simply...

Since you don't have too much weight too lose - It's going to be very hard to lose even a little bit of weight.

My best advice would be just to try this diet plan and Read how to lose your last 10 pounds here

Let me ask you this - is it possible for you to tone up by going here to make you body look more slim even though you may gan weight doing those body sculpting exercises?

I wish you luck in your efforts and please contact me again if you ever need more help.

Are you trying to lose weight for personal reasons?

Please answer these questions and I'll help you the best i can.

Adrian Bryant | 03.28.08 - 7:44 pm

Lee,

To lose that much weight in 3.5 months you would have to do this diet and 2 moderate-to-high intensity workouts a day that last for 30-to-40 minutes (one workout in the morning and another in the evening) and I recommend you do
Tae-bo or some other kind of really intense weight loss interval and even if you did that please realize...

You still may only lose at the most 30-to-40 pounds which is 2.1-2.8 pounds per week til Mid-July -

Please contact me again if more help is needed

Yo | 03.20.08 - 10:18 pm

Kay -

You should be able to lose 20-30 pounds in 4 weeks IF you follow the diet plan on this page which is eating 4 times a day instead of 5-6 but if I were you...

I would focus on PERMANENTLY losing 50 or more pounds by doing the same exercise plan you're on now but do the 50 pound weight loss diet instead and the reason why I say this is because...

If you don't have an emergency reason to lose weight fast (like an upcoming wedding or reunion) - then why rush your weight loss when you can just as easily lose 50 pounds or more in 5-to-8 months permanently?

Either way you choose will work fine for you - I just think in your case - the How to lose 50 pounds in 5 months plan is best for you right now.

Contact me again if you need more help

adrian bryant | 03.20.08 - 4:51 pm

I'm a female,5ft and 185lbs. My life has been VERY stressful and I packed on 60lbs in 7-8months especially in my abs region!! My question is do you think I can lose 20-30 lbs in 4 weeks with this program exercising 30 in the AM and 30 in PM (cardio & strength training). I also started GNC Women Active Vitamin pack which has a fat burner & energy boost with vitamins. CAN I add an AM snack if necessary? I ask this because I have long days and I know we should eat 5-6 small meals a day to keep our metabolism up and sugar on an even keel. Could I maybe add an apple of 1/2scoop of protein in the AM if necessary? THANKS so much Adrian this site was a WAKEUP CALL and a lifesaver!!

Kay | 03.20.08 - 1:24 pm

holly,

doing cardio 20min a day and lifting light weights about 5 days a week IS OKAY -

My only suggestion is to make sure the 20 minute cardio is done at a moderate-to-high intensity and...

The special K mix should be fine and... If you have any more questions - just contact me.

Adrian Bryant |03.18.08 - 4:58 pm

Hi,

I am doing cardio 20min a day and lifting light weights about 5 days a week. Should I continue lifting that much on this diet?

Also--I am using the Special K protein/fiber mixes for water. They are 5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.....is this ok, or do I need the traditional protein?

Thanks for your help!

Holly | 03.18.08 - 1:52 pm

Sil,

Your exercise program is good enough to start burning fat so YES... I do think you will lose weight fast doing your exercise plan combined with my diet

adrian bryant | 03.19.08 - 4:31 pm

Hi,

I am about 5'2" and I weight about 150. I want to get down to 130 in about 3 1/2 weeks. I signed up for Yoga and Pilate classes 4 times a week, and I started biking and running in the morning.

My biggest problem is that alot my weight is either fat in my belly area, or big muscles in my shoulders and arms and upper back from when I was in the marines. Do you think that since I am starting my exercise Regimen with your 3-4 week plan, I can lose the 20lbs?

Sil | 03.19.08 - 3:14 pm

Avoid sugary foods, drink plenty of water,do exercise atleast twice aweek

Janet | 03.17.08 - 9:22 am

Ashley ,

Is it possible that you get a bodyfat test done (by the army) to prove that you're in shape and that you don't need to lose WEIGHT and...

If that isn't possible - It may be hard for someone like you (who is muscluar) to lose 20 pounds of FAT so for you to possibly lose more FAT...

You should focus on doing the permanent fat loss plan or... look at ways to lose your last 10 pounds

Do you know what your bodyfat is? and one more suggestion I have is that you could try doing manly cardio but... You'll lose fat doing manly cardio while maintaiining the muscle you have or gaining muscle weight

Adrian Bryant |03.16.08 - 8:40 pm

I am a very athletic girl and most of my weight comes from muscle, my BMI is about 17 and i'm 65in...but in order for me to get in to the Army i need to lose 20 lbs and i want to do this with out breaking down muscle..

Hi, I was wondering if it was safe for me to do this diet since i'm only 15 years old, i'm 5'8 and i weight around 175 lbs. I've been trying to loose weight for over a year now and my goal is to be around 145 by april. I've tryed so many diets before but it never seems to work; my friends always have party and stuff like that with food and it's irresistible. I don't know what to do so that I don't eat junk like that. Help me please!
Thank you!!

Steph | 03.10.08 - 5:21 pm

Elizabeth,

I've never tried any pill forms of apple cider vinegar but...

It's better to take a liquid form of something over a pill for better absorption

Adrian Bryant | 03.02.08 - 9:24 pm

I am 225 lbs and 5'6". I am positive that I will succeed in losing 25lbs by April 1st (my first goal) using this plan. However, I have never used the cider vinager before. I saw cider vinager in pill form and was wondering if it would provide the same benifit as the 2t of liquid cider vinagar? I bet you can imagine why I would want to take the pill form instead.

Chris,

The diet schedule on this page is only an example and YES... YOU can alter the diet schedule to fit your schedule

Adrian Bryant |02.16.08 - 8:29 am

Hi, I found your website a couple of days ago and it is really amazing. It has lots of facts and you really want us to loss weight. I am in high school and on your website you have a time schedule saying when to eat and what to eat at that time, which is pretty cool but I can't work out and eat at eight o' clock in the morning because I am in class. So I tried to recalculate the time schedule to six in the morning but then that will mean I would have to eat at ten o' clock in the morning for lunch. So I am trying to say can I eat breakfast at seven in the morning and then continue the schedule as you have it? I really appreciate this and thank you for reading this letter.

Chris | 02.14.08 - 6:52 pm

Peacekeeper,

Depending on how much you weigh - you can still lose a lot of weight on this fast diet plan but just because you're "stuck" inside your house doesn't mean you can't exercsie,

Why not try doing something like Hip-Hop Abs or Tae-bo for your workout instead

Adrian Bryant |02.07.08 - 7:09 am

Carina,

It's possible to lose 30 pounds in 4-to-5 weeks on this plan but you should only expect to lose up to 20 pounds and if you really want to make 30 pounds in 4-5 weeks a reality you do need to exercise and i suggest you try some of these weight loss workouts here:

Adrian Bryant | 02.06.08 - 9:59 pm

Stacey,

Exercise + any type of diet program will always equal faster weight loss and working out in the morning burns more fat - read this to see why:

A CLASS CALLED BODY COMBAT,ITS ON FOR 60 MINS,I PUT ALOT INTO THE CLASS,I SWEAT LIKE MAD.

I THEN GO UP TO THE GYM AND DO 30 MINS JOGGING AT A STEADY PACE.

I THEN GO INTO A ROOM THAT HAS SOME MACHINES THAT YOU DO SOME WEIGHTS ON LIKE THE LAT PULL DOWN AND THE CHEST PRESS ECT.I DO 3 SETS OF 10 OR 15 DEPENDING ON WHAT IM DOING AND I GO ON 5 THINGS EACH VISIT.

I DO ALL THIS 4 TIMES A WEEK AND ON A FRIDAY INSTEAD OF A JOG I DO A CLASS CALLED POWER WALK FOR 25 MINS,I USE A SET OF WEIGHTS FOR THIS CLASS AND YOU WALK FAST AND DO A SMALL JOG.


IF YOU COULD GIVE ME SOME IDEA OF THE CALORIES IM BURNING EACH DAY I CAN WORK OUT THE EXTRA BITS IM GOING TO DO,I EAT A HEALTHY DIET AND IM WRITING DOWN WHAT I EATAND THA CALORIES I HAVE EACH DAY BECAUSE I JUST STARTED I SLIMING GROUP,I NEED TO LOSE ABOUT 1 STONE.

THANK YOU

If you can find a a liquid green tea that's not loaded with sugar and artifical sweetners - then it'll probably be fine but it's probably better to use green tea pills unless you can get your hands on some japanese green tea and...

Cereal is fine as long as it's between 0-300 calories

Adrian Bryant |02.02.08 - 5:48 am

hey im 5 "6 and 160 and i just wanted to know if i could drink green tea or take the green tea capsules? and can i eat cereal for one of my meals??

thannks you

sophi |02.01.08 - 2:16 pm

Ashley,

What kind of green tea? the only gree ndrink I'd recommend is Japanese green tea because the other green tea's are loaded with sugar.

Adrian Bryant | 01.31.08 - 5:38 am

Ann,

for 300 calorie meals go here: and eat just about anything you want as long as its under 300 calories but avoid sugar, sweets, fast foods, etc.

You have to be very overweight and/or very lazy to have a good chance of you 'permanently' losing 50 pounds of fat by the April and I recommend you only do this fast weight loss plan for 3-4 weeks at a time and only maybe 1 or 2 times a year so MY BEST ADVICE to you would be to...

Set a very possible goal of losing 50 pounds by Sept. and in about the next 3-5 days I'm going to post another free weight loss plan called "How to truly lose 50 pounds in 5-8 months"

See how fast you can really lose weight here:

Adrian Bryant | 01.31.08 - 5:36 am

I am about to start your program, however I have no way into town to buy the fat burner pill. Will it work to drink a cup of green tea before eating and exercising until I can get the pills? I am 5'4 and 140 and would like to get down to 120. My goal weight is 105 but I want to get down to 120 forst and then do the rest in steps. As it is I drink about 5 cups of green tea a day.
I did have fat burners but they are gone.

Ashley | 01.31.08 - 12:34 am

One more question. I am getting married in Sept and want to lose 50 lbs. by the end of April. What do you recommend? I've been doing your diet for 2 days now and lost 4 lbs already.

Ann | 01.30.08 - 1:43 pm

What are some meals you recommend to eat under 300 calories? Can I still eat normal food like beef, chicken, sandwiches as long as it's under 300 calories?

Ann | 01.30.08 - 1:27 pm

Jane,

It would best if you got started on one of the permanent weight loss plans here first:

and then you should try to start this fast weight loss diet 3-to-5 weeks before your trip to mexico.

and remember - I'm always here if you need me to help you lose weight for your trip

Adrian Bryant | 01.30.08 - 11:31 am

Hi,
so I am about 5'2"-5'3",
and weight 165, and I am looking to lose some weight before I go on my trip to Mexico in 3 weeks.
My ultimate goal is to get down to 125-130 by June, but I thought I would try to kickstart my diet with this plan. Will I really be able to lose 20lbs in 3 weeks, if I follow this diet to the letter?

Jane |01.29.08 - 4:09 pm

Elia,

As far as fat burners go - Just make sure that your fat burners contain green tea in them or better yet...

Just get some green tea extract pills - go here to see the best ones:

Since this is a "fast" weight loss diet plan I would stick to just eating 4 times a day only and...

Please forgive me for taking so long to respond and please don't hesitate to ask me more questions to help you reach your weight loss goals

adrian bryant | 01.29.08 - 11:17 am

Hi! Is it ok to spread the fruit/veeggie eating trough the day, say 6 times a day or more?
(eating the same ammount) I am one of those bored=eating persons so if I can pick up a fruit more often I think it could be easier for me. Also, what should I look for in a fat burner pill? I live in South America, so product names change often from the US to my local drug store. Thanks!

Elia | 01.28.08 - 12:07 pm

Reney,

The zone bars shouldn't be a problem being only 200 calories but make sure you're only eating 0-300 more calories after having your veggie &/or fruits + protein

Adrian Bryant - weight loss 01.26.08 - 12:03 pm

Thanks Adrian!

One more question....if I'm using your program, should I cut back on health bars that contain 28% of protein? For example, I sometimes eat a ZONE bar for breakfast or after a workout, which contain at least 14g of protein (and 200 calories). Will I be consuming too much protein? Should I eliminate ZONE bars from my diet while on the program?

Thanks again!

Reney | 01.25.08 - 8:00 am

Reney,

The main thing when buying any fat burner is that you make sure it contains green tea - Studies show that green tea alone can raise your metabolism by 43% and...

I'm pretty sure the Hi-Ener-G Green Tea Liquid Concentrate will work fine but... The 3 i listed on this page on the ones that other people have told me worked best for them

Adrian Bryant | 01.25.08 - 7:25 am

What is the difference between a fat burner pill, like green tea extreme and a fat burner liquid, like Hi-Ener-G Green Tea Liquid Concentrate?

Can your program work with green tea liquid concentrate?

Thanks!

Reney | 01.24.08 - 11:42 pm

Destiny,

Yes i think my program would work well for you but you should also look into this weight loss book for teaching moms how to lose weight after pregnancy

Adrian Bryant | 01.23.08 - 10:28 pm

Vanessa,

it depends on how overweight you are and these other weight loss factors here

but generally - losing 100 pounds in 6 months (or 5 pounds a week) "safetly & permenently" isn't possible so to answer your question...

YES - you can lose 100 pounds in 6 months going on any fad diet but you'll either gain it all back or even worse - you'll look sick (and not toned and pretty) if you lost weight real fast on a fad diet. Read this article here to see why fad diets are a big NO NO

and NO... you probably can't permanently lose 100 pounds in 6 months unless you're really overweight and have a very low actviyt level

Adrian Bryant |01.18.08 - 4:59 pm

is it possible to lose 90-100 pounds in 6 months?

Vanessa plata | 01.18.08 - 2:58 pm

Yes, I THINK you'll be able to reach your goal before may with this plan but... Since you have 4 months to reach your goal - I would start off permanently losing 1-3 pounds a week by going here  and then in april - I would switch back over to doing this fast weight loss plan here but...

I do believe you can reach your goal in time with the first plan i stated above

adrian bryant | 01.17.08 - 10:38 am

Hi Adrian
Right now I'm trying to lose 25 pounds by the middle of May for a vacation (about 4 months). I am 19, 5'6 and weigh around 140-145. I dont have time to power walk in the morning so I walk/run for an hour in the afternoon, 5-6 times a week. Does this make a significant difference that it is not in the morning and with my weight/height ratio will I be able to otain my goal with your plan? thanks!

Natalie | 01.17.08 - 12:07 am

Adrian:

I have not been power walking. I want to but I just have not had the time. You plan is wonderful. Thanks for the info.

Jessica

Jessica | 01.16.08 - 1:46 pm

The only better tasting soy protein i can recommend is Revival soy and I only say Revival is a better tasting choice because of what other people have told me about it - you can read about revival soy protein here

Since this is an emergency fast weight loss plan - DO NOT mix your soy protien in milk or juice

Good job on your fast weight loss -Are you doing the power walking or intervals as well?

Adrian Bryant | 01.16.08 - 11:24 am

Hi Adrian!

It is me again and I have another question. I started your plan but I am having a really hard time with the Soy Protein. It tastes terrible. Is it okay for me to mix it with Orange Juice instead of water? Is there a certain soy protein that tastes better I purchased the unflavored thinking that would make it easier to drink but it is not. Please help. By the way I have doing your plan for 3 days and have already lost 5 lbs. I am not hungry at all I LOVE IT!!!!!

Jessica | 01.16.08 - 11:01 am 

SuZann,

How much weight are U trying to lose? - If you're looking to lose more than 20 pounds long-term then I highly recommend you do this weight loss plan here:

Please tell me your weight and what exactly your weight loss goals are and please tell me "How U been excersizing and doing all the right things" to lose weight

Adrian Bryant |  01.14.08 - 7:53 pm 

I had a baby exactly 1 yr ago. I am having a problem losing the weight. I have been excersizing and doing all the right things but it seems not to work. I have hypothyrodism, but they do have me on the right dose for that so I should be losing the weight. Do you think your plan will help me?

SuZann | 01.14.08 - 2:46 pm

Jessica -

Green tea (power tea) is a fat burner so NO... you don't need to get a fat burner and...

If your daily schedule allows you to follow this diet then - You really don't need proactol because all proactol does is suppress your appetite and block fat and...

Steps #1-3 will help suppress your appettie anyway and...

I'm not saying you wasted your money on Proactol - it will still help you lose weight faster becuase it will block some of the calories you eat and...

I really wouldnt do this diet no longer than 3-4 weeks because of the low calories you're eating - you may have a hard time staying on it longer than 6 weeks so...


If I were you - after maybe 3-4 weeks I would try getting on a more permanent weight loss plan for women

Be sure to contact me whenever you need help
Adrian Bryant | 01.04.08 - 3:06 pm

Hi! I am getting ready to start this plan and had a couple of questions. I just ordered 500 mg green tea capsuls and proactol. Should I still get a fat burner as well? I want to lose 80 lbs as fast as possible and I was wondering if I can continue this plan longer than 4 weeks? I am so excited to start your plan!!!!

Jessica | 01.04.08 - 1:38 pm

Muscle milk is fine

Your workout plan looks to be just fine - If you're not seeing results from running in the gym...

Contact me again and I'll figure out something out for you but...

As far as increasing your metabolism just do these basic things

1. exercise (you're doing that)
2. gain muscle (by lifting weights) see burn the fat feed the muscle for more tips on muscle building & fat burning
3. eat 5-7 small meals a day
4. take green tea
5. workout first thing in the morning and then once again in the evenving.

I am almost doen with college and I am hoping to become a Police officer. I have never been overweight in my life until I graduated high school and stopped doing sports. I am 6' and weigh 225 lbs. I want to get down to 200 lbs before I go to the police academy. Can I use muscle milk instead of whey protein and what else will I need to do to lose the weight. I run in the gym 4 times a week for about an hour and but between 575-800 calories a day just at the gym. What would you recommend to boost my metabalism and lose the weight.

For Samantha...

It seems like what're doing is fine and to see exactly how much you need to eat & exercise to lose weight - use these calculators:
Permanent weight loss calculator

Weight loss activity calculator

Adrian Bryant 01.01.08 - 9:08 am |

I eat 6 small meals a day and I've noticed a change but, I'm not sure how much exercise should do to lose 2 lbs a week or more .. i exercise at the gym burning 500 3 times a week and i work out at home burning 1070 calories a week is that enough .. i eat healthy
plus on top of that im cleaning and doing laundry all week long too

Samantha | 12.31.07 - 1:40 pm

For Krista...

Don't do this diet.

You need to work your TVA muscles to get abs so...

adrian bryant -  12.28.07 - 9:44 pm |

So here's my story! My wedding is in a little less than a month and I would like to have a flat and firm stomach for the beach (destination wedding.) I am 110 lbs and 5'4 (5'3.5 actually.) I acknowledge that I don't need to lose weight all over but in order to get a strong stomach I need to lose the weight around my stomach-which is where I carry my weight, so to speak. I like to exercise at the gym every other day (cardio, strength and abs) but fear that I won't have the energy if I start this diet. Any feedback you have would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Krista | 12.28.07 - 9:00 pm

Hello April Beside Diets - the best thing you can do to lose as much weight as possible in 2008 is to workout once in the morning for 20-45 minutes and then again in the evening for 20-45 minutes everyday To burn more calories I would read this:

adrian bryant - weight loss gu | 12.26.07 - 8:01 pm

Hey there, I just turned 18. I'm 5'4" tall, and I weigh 210lbs. My weight problem has gotten REALLY out of hand, and my goal for this up coming year is to lose as much as possible. Is there anything else that I can do to lose the weight((Mostly around my stomach and theighs)) besides these diet plans? Excerise idea's would be helpful. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

For lauren & Jen

Lauren:
when you lift weights - you'll build muscle which will make you look better so for example - if you gin 5 pounds of muscle you'll look like you've lost 5-10 pounds

go here for more info

Jen:
Yes, you will lose more weight if you exercise more but at 127...

Keep in mind it's going to be harder for you to lsoe weight since you're really not that much overweight so...

It's very possible you'll lose 8-10 pounds in 4-5 weeks on this diet

go here for plans to lose your last 10 pounds:

adrian bryant - weight loss gu | 12.23.07 - 9:23 am |

Hello Mr. Bryant. I was wondering about how much weight I'd lose if did 30-45 minutes of cardio in the morning (not only walking but running as well), and another workout a night with this particular weight loss plan, instead of just walking... how much I could lose if I weigh about 127 and I'm 18, 5'1 and I wanted to lose 20 lbs.? Would it really only take 4 weeks? After 4 weeks, what plan would you advise me to take after this weight loss plan is completed?
Jen | 12.23.07 - 2:20 am |

Hello,

I have been following your diet for 6 days now, I haven't lost anything yet, BUT I SEE RESULTS! It has kind of concerned but I'm sure my body is adjusting to the diet. I'm 4'11, 140lbs and my goal is 110, fyi. As far as working out, I lift weights every other day followed by cardio. How long does it take for the body to adjust to a diet? And I've also heard that when you lift weights you'll gain/stay consistent before you start to lose. Could you tell me how true that is. Thank you!!
