re: How crazy is my co-worker's cutting plan?

quote:

---

I overheard him say this morning he is cutting weight by drinking 10 protein shakes a day.

140 calories each for a total of 1,400 calories.
300 grams of protein a day (He may weigh 200 pounds or so).
14 total carbs.

Is that as dumb as I think it is? He's a weird guy who thinks he knows it all.

everyone will say yes, but its not really. like mentioned, its just the original velicity diet.

1) caloric deficit- check
2) high protein to prevent muscle loss- check
3) low carbs to lose water weight- check
4) sustainable- NO, possible for about 4-6 weeks max if he eats one solid meal a week.

but frick they have extreme obese people that completely fast for a month or more. Sometimes you just have to say frick it and do it and learn to live the lifestyle after you get the weight off.
