    Ok, let’s get into my social circle lunacy: one of my neighbors easily weighted like two grown men. Then he claims that through eating a protein-only diet, he halved that (one grown man weight unit).

    He definitely looks much better, though I know people should eat their veggies, I can’t argue that his approach towards getting skinnier is not working.

    He’ll eat a big boy’s steak and then leave everything else: tatoes, veggies, rice, bread, etc. Ah, and he is still drinking coke (light, zero) as if it is the source of his lifeforce.

    I’m still thinking that can’t be healthy, but he does look healthier in comparison to morbidly obese.

      sounds like they’re just eating less, which… yeah that do be how to lose weight.
      he’s probably not having much fun on the toilet though, unless he’s also taking fibre supplements.

      but yeah it’s not a good idea, you should be really really really careful about diets that have you eating the same thing often. Diversity in your diet is very important to make sure you get all the nutrients you need and in sensible amounts, as well as avoiding eating too much of any one thing which might cause problems.
