You HAVENT been on the anpb diet for 3 months, have you?? If so, I'm terribly sorry.....life can't be that boring.......

Sometimes when you are dedicated towards reaching a goal, nothing else matters.

How can some lose 10lbs in just a few days while others don't lose a lb for weeks?

Not meaning to slam Beachbuff (I'm glad to hear she's losing weight and having success!), but most of her weight loss was probably water weight. If you haven't been restricting carbs, just making the move to a low carb diet will quickly drop off a bunch of water. This has happened to me several times --I drop 10 lbs very quickly when I first start to diet, then my weight loss always slows down to 1-3 lbs/week after that.

Another problem I see a lot on this board is that a many people underestimate their calorie intake (you should use a site like fitday to keep closely keep track for a while) or they overestimate their calorie needs (sometimes both). I see a lot of posts from people smaller then I am who can't figure out why they aren't losing weight while eating 2500+ calories/day. I'm 220 lbs (about 10% BF), and I have to drop my intake down to about 2300 calories/day to see any significant weight loss. If you're not highly active (desk job, etc...), I think LBM x 12 is a good place to start. You kind of have to start thinking LBM, not just total BW. BF takes almost nothing to maintain, and adding that weight into your calorie-need calculations will screw you up!

Just my 2 cents!

Dedication is one thing...........moderation is another........if you can survive on peanut butter and protein shakes for 3 months and STILL be happy, more power to you........keep it up!

did I just say that???????

Heh, don't get me wrong, I could never do this diet. The main reason I work out is so I can eat whatever I want, be it ice cream or chocolate chip cookies. Most people on this board would cry if they saw my diet. And consequently I don't have an award winning bodybuilding physique. I am in good shape and I can see my abs (mostly). Being that dedicated to low BF just isn't in me, but I can understand why some people do the things they do.

Woooo.....in your post, I could have sworn you said youve been on this diet for 3 months..........damn, did I read it wrong?

Your diet stinks and you can see your abs? Cmon...cant be that bad.........give me an example....

I am starting this tomorrow. I will keep everyone updated on all aspects of this program.

Starting it today. 3rd meal is at 1:45 PM.
177 lbs, no idea of bodyfat but my lower stomach is very slightly thicker than the area just above it, so I've got a bit of a gut. I bulked very sloppy. Not too proud of that, but whatever. I'm hoping I can cut down a lot of weight on this diet.

Does anyone know about coming off of it? Whether or not you have to slowly reintroduce carbs or not?
