How to loose lots of weight... BariatricJoe Diet

Ok...im against crash diets because I was never able to do them myself. I actually think that dieting causes you to gain weight because when you finally stop you gain more than you lost...trust me...been there many times. I wonder if I could get a grant to test my theory on a group of people...hmmm

Anyways, back to the point. I had gastric bypass surgery 12/2005 and I have lost over 130lbs ... don't clap *grin* I learned something important afterwards that may help people who can't get the opp to get gastric bypass surgery. What did I learn? ... you can get by without solid foods for a very long time. Think that sounds crazy? Let me explain...

After gastric bypass surgery you can hardly eat anything and for the first several weeks you can only have liquids. You are pretty much not eating and only getting in what your body needs daily to live and survive. So for almost 2 months I barely ate anything solid and nothing very heavy and boy did the weight fall off. I think that is one of the problems with loosing weight opossed to stopping smoking, you stop smoking but you have to eat.

Here is the deal.
If you want to loose a lot of weight fast, go on the following diet:

What you have to take or get into the body each day:
70 grams of protein through liquid drinks
A multivitamin with iron (actually two if your gonna do Flintstone chewables)
Calcium (1200mg) once a day (couple of Tums Ultra does the job)

What has to be taken once a week:
B1 (Thiamine) once a week

What has to be taken once a month:
B12 (1000mcg) once a month

What to eat?
That is up to you...as little as you can do is my recommendation.
Here is the goals they gave us for when we were out four months:

· Protein: 70 grams per day.

· Carbohydrates: <100 grams per day.

· Fat: <25 grams per day.

· Fluids: 64 ounces per day at a minimum.

I should give this diet a name...like the BariatricJoe Diet...
