I am on a diet for like 6 months but with no effects, what am i doing wrong? ;/

What is your diet?

The easiest way to diet is to do a sort of fasting. Eat only two meals, breakfast and dinner, made up of fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and whole grains. Avoid meat, dairy products and all fries.

Drink about 0.04litre of water per each kilowgram of your weight at 4 or 5 regular intervals daily. warm up your water a bit. Never drink anything with your meals at least half hour before or two hours after your meal. Chew youyr meals very well. Add a bit of salt to your drinking water between both meals. If you felt hungry add a teaspon organic honey to the water you dring between both meals.

How this diet work:

This diet should make your body very healthy. A healthy body metabolises, use, all the food efficiently without letting any food converted to fat.

A healthy body becomes hiper active, which burns a lot of energy. In this case it also burns fat in the body because it can not get external energy because of fasting.

Drinking too much water causes a lot of urination, which is rich in fat. Because the water removes the fat from the body.

This diet also strengthens your immune system a lot. A strong immune system, in addition of guarding your body from external threats like viruses, it also identifies any unhealthy thing like fat in the body and acts to deal with it like remove it.

I suspect you are eating to much of your diet.

Okay, I'll do a long post for you, and give you some extra guidance while also dismissing this snakeoil salesman.

It's hard to say why you've seen 'no effect' without any details, but I hear this a fair bit and it's *usually* (may not be in your case) because people are consuming extra calories, usually by accident. Do you drink a lot of canned drinks? Sugary drinks is a really easy and quick way to cut out calories that, over time, can make it difficult to drop weight; IIRC just one can of soft drink each day (for instance at lunchtime) can maintain 5 to 7 kilos of body fat (there are some assumptions to this, but it's a general guide). Even drinking too much juice is bad as there's a fair amount of calories in that, too.

The easiest way to diet is to do a sort of fasting.

Don't fast.
Eat less, exercise more. That's the only diet you really need. If 'calories in' is less than 'calories out' you'll lose weight, it's that simple. Don't sign up to fad diets, there's no shortcut to it. Don't try and rush it, be patient, make lifestyle changes.

Eat only two meals, breakfast and dinner,

The number of meals is unimportant, what's important is the calorific content of your meals and nutritional balance.

Try not to kid yourself about how healthy foods might be, but don't obsess over it. The most successful way to diet is be reasonable in your meals. Make them slightly smaller, a little at a time, and you won't crave the same volume of food.

Drink about 0.04litre of water per each kilowgram of your weight at 4 or 5 regular intervals daily. warm up your water a bit. Never drink anything with your meals at least half hour before or two hours after your meal. Chew youyr meals very well. Add a bit of salt to your drinking water between both meals. If you felt hungry add a teaspon organic honey to the water you dring between both meals.

Don't faff about calculating bodyweight ratios - drink around 2 litres per day, a bit more if it's hot and especially if you're working outside. Be sensible though, don't go mad.

Warming up the water will do nothing as the energy content of the water isn't important, it'll normalize at 36°C anyway, your body won't care, and DO NOT ADD SALT to it. Doing so, especially over the long term can contribute to hypertension (high blood pressure). There are situations (I think) where you'll need electrolyte therapy (e.g. hyponatremia) but you don't want to be doing it with table salt in water, see a doctor.

Studies have shown that drinking a glass of water around an hour before you eat your meal can aid digestion and contribute to weight loss, and drinking with your meal is fine. Adding honey to water will just add more calories to your daily intake for no discernible benefit.

This diet should make your body very healthy. A healthy body metabolises, use, all the food efficiently without letting any food converted to fat.

A healthy body will still convert excess energy to fat. GCSE biology mate, come on.

A healthy body becomes hiper active, which burns a lot of energy. In this case it also burns fat in the body because it can not get external energy because of fasting.

Generally speaking, people who are active will have a higher BMR (basal metabolic rate) than people who aren't, but even inactive and 'unhealthy' people can temporarily raise their by exercising. A half an hour of moderate exercise in the morning will raise your BMR and means you will burn more energy doing normal activities during the day.

"Fasting" will not necessarily cause your body to burn fat as there are several factors which govern how it prioritizes energy. If you Fast a lot, you can end up burning muscle protein instead which is less than ideal.

Drinking too much water causes a lot of urination, which is rich in fat. Because the water removes the fat from the body.

HAHAHAHA what are you even talking about. XD

If your urine is rich in fat, GO AND SEE AN ACTUAL DOCTOR; lipids in urine is a symptom of nephrosis, although you won't know you have lipids in your urine unless you're testing it, so...

This diet also strengthens your immune system a lot. A strong immune system, in addition of guarding your body from external threats like viruses, it also identifies any unhealthy thing like fat in the body and acts to deal with it like remove it.

FAT IS NOT UNHEALTHY it is an essential part of body function and - Jesus Horatio Christmas - the immune system does not attack fat.

Everything you say on this topic is stupid, Swisaw.

 

[Swisaw]

I do not like being on a diet... It is very painful for me ;/

Could you tell us more about yourself and why dieting painful?

....and don't listen to him as well because he doesn't have any viable knowledge about this subject. At least I have done over 5 years research.

Sweetie, at this point anybody following the discussion can see you're a pseudo-science snakeoil salesman without even a high-school level of understanding of the human body.

I'm not intending to be mean to you, and if I appear harsh it's because you peddle dangerous advice.

As I've said before, simply burn more calories that you eat. It's that simple.

If you don't know how many calories you burn = Analyze your daily activities and do some research.
If you don't know how many calories you gain = Analyze your diet and count the calories.

To lose weight, you just have to get into the red.

I've lost 10 pounds during the last 3 months just by following this simple rule. No matter if I have pizza or pineapples, as long as I'm not eating more than 1.800 Kcal a day, I lose weight.

Fat is very unhealthy. if it was healthy most people would have become fat. All fat people, without exception, have some thing wrong in their body. The immune system operates on the basis of priority. If an immune system has resources more than enough it will take on fat to get rid of it.

What ever I say is not mine. It belongs to people with proven records and years of experience.

If you could somehow erase all fat from your body you would die. Fat fuels your body and your brain and without it you have no mechanism for absorbing or distributing 'essential' (i.e. those your body cannot manufacture) vitamins around your body.

Having body fat (a thing everybody has, *including you*) is not the same thing as being obese.

 

[Simon Baker]

For me its just basic math. dont take in more than I expect to burn. So with that being said, I always try to burn whatever I take in

Eish, those comments about taking salt water as a hypertensive really got my goat!

My story - April 2014 I was rushed off to hospital with a suspected heart attack, blood pressure was 220/110. I was not obese but a smoker for 30 years with a propensity for adding large amounts of salt to everything because my taste buds were shot. My cardiologist's instructions were simple - lower my sodium intake and go onto blood pressure meds to bring the BP down.

Fast forward three years later - I quit cigarettes( I do still vape though), made some minor dietary changes which mostly consisted out of reducing salt to the absolute minimum (no added salt to anything I eat, food naturally has some form of sodium content anyways) and taking a daily dose 1.25mg of a mild diuretic - which I have recently weaned myself off from and due to a recent diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia (high platelets) instead of taking aspirin, I take 100mg of Pycnogenol per day. Now my average BP is 115/72.

I am an avid meat eater, supper consists out of a piece of protein beef, chicken, fish, lamb or whatever and roasted veggies. What I don't eat is cake, sweets, crisps, processed foods in any way shape or form. I drink tons of coffee and have the odd glass of Pinot Noir. I drink about 1 to 1.5 litres of water per day and exercise is minimal due to osteoathritis in my left knee, so I walk on the moors a lot and I cycle for 2 x 20minutes every day on a stationery bike. I have not lost much in the way of weight, but my body is healthier and at 47 I'll take that.

If you want to be healthy, the answer is simple:

Eat less and move more
Drink water
Avoid excess sugar and salt
Eat what you want as long as it is in balance and in moderation - and NO this does not include junk food, processed food, cake and crap like that
Get enough sleep

My 2p - use it / don't use it - but for goodness sake don't drink salt water if you already have high blood pressure ever!

Your blood pressure may be low but it doesn't mean you are healthy. Some one , on a diet like yours, develops dormant, sleeping, diseases, which may explode any time.

I am 65 kg and drink 0.04litres of water per each kilo gram of my body. That makes 65 x 0.04 = 2.6litres daily.Daily, I eat a lot of organic fruits and vegetables, which have a lot of water. I also drink about 1.5 cups of organic tea. So my daily water intake is at least 3.00 liters. This means I pass at least 3 litres of urine daily. This removes a lot of minerals from my body. I drink my water at 4 or 5 regular intervals, before breakfast, at 10am, 3pm and 9pm. I add a pinch of salt to my water at 10am and 3pm as precaution against water poisoning, which is very rare. My urine is very clear without any smells.

 

[Cobby]

This removes a lot of minerals from my body.

Your body will not excrete any salts that it needs. If your salt levels are low you will no longer excrete it in sweat or urine.

The human body does a fantastic job of regulating it nutrients and mineral requirements. Almost everything fad-dieters like swisaw do in terms of "detox" is either completely ignored by the human body or actually damages it.
