Is there any reasonable explanation for this?

[The Almighty]

Ok, my girlfriend's uncle has been overweight for the majority of his life. On average, he was perhaps 70-80 pounds heavier than he should have been.

One day on the advice of an actual doctor, he goes on an "ice cream diet." I shit you not, for all 4 or 5 meals of every day, this man ate nothing but ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, you name it...as long as it was mde of ice cream he ate it.

1 year later he is 60 pounds lighter and he is still losing weight.

Anybody know what the hell is going on?

You serious?

If you are, that is the is the stragest thing I have seen in a while...LOL


Ice-cream= 1600Kcal/2.0L Fat-free that is.

So, a diet would be 2000Kcal/day so 2.5L ice-cream/day

500ml per meal. 1 american pint.

He must have lost a lot of muscle though. Ice cream has no protein.

ingesting something cold raises your metabolism. not very much but it can reach levels comparable to taking ephedrine.

O SHUT UP! Totally not true.

He's actually partially right.

The only problem being you'd have to immerse yourself in a tank of freezing water for an hour or so...LOL

sure it does.. 1 pint has about 35 grams of protein in it. I eat a pint of those EOD when bulking. Protein from the milk i believe.

Never seen any ice-cream higer than 20g protein/pint.

There isn't a great selection though.

Possible....

70-80 lbs of fat takes some real intake to maintain.

If he ate ice cream (single serving) when he felt a need to eat, the sugar would boost his energy and he'd feel good. A single serving doesn't have too much in calories. In a day, he'd probably take in less each day in calories than he's been eating.

It likely has nothing to do ice cream by itself.

This is very possible. I was stuck at a camp for a weekend and all they had in the fridge was ice cream. I ate only ice cream for 2 days. I lost 8 pounds. The main reason for weight loss is because eating only ice cream for 2 days gave the shits for a week. I could shit in a coke bottle from 20 yards.

Any doctor who would put anyone on such a diet is a crackpot. He probably went off the deep end from dealing with useless fat fucks day in and day out.
