Today, I finished up a week of this new "Liquid Foods" diet I learned about from a friend. After a week of denying myself of my favorite foods and eating only non-fat yoghurt and smoothies, I have not only gained 2 pounds, but have diarrhea. Just in time for my anniversary. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I've been trying to make the most out of my short vacation by dieting, by eating a big pot of yogurt with lots of fresh fruit every day. Turns out what I thought was yogurt is actually heavy cream. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, after two full months of trying to gain weight, I haven’t gained a single pound. Instead, I now have severe and irreversible digestive problems from overeating. FML
Today, I lost the 5 pounds I had gained over the last few weeks. I had vowed to do whatever it took to lose that weight, and I actually did, when I caught a horrible stomach bug. I'd eat my words, but I'm pretty sure I'd just end up throwing them up. FML
Today, after months of grueling hard work, I'd finally gained five pounds. Too bad I lost it all and then some, due to one good stomach flu. FML
Today, I learned that the vomiting and uncontrollable flatulence I've been suffering from is normal with my new diet. FML
Today, I decided to start eating healthier, so I had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast and a chicken salad for lunch. My stomach violently rejected both meals in a fountain of vomit. I later ate a giant McDonald’s meal with no issue, and felt loads better. FML
Today, after a few months of trying to gain weight due to being severely underweight, I got a stomach flu and lost every single pound I put on, and then some. FML
Today, I finally weighed myself after going on a strict diet of only fruits, vegetables, and coffee. I gained weight. FML
Today, it's been a week since I got a gastric balloon to help me lose weight. On the plus side, I've lost 5kg. On the downside, it's been one week of vomiting, diarrhea, not being able to eat solid food, and stomach cramps so painful that it feels like I'm constantly being stabbed. 15 weeks to go… FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should know better than to try fad diets. Most liquid foods are high fat anyway, so it's no wonder you gained weight. As for your diarrhea, what did you expect from not eating any solids?

Did you even bother researching it first? I mean I'm not a health nut, but all yoghurt and smoothies just sounds like a bad idea to begin with.

Yeah, that just seems like malnutrition. Also, neither yoghurt and smoothies are even in the slightest bit related to weight loss at all. Really.

Into a deep abyss with the u from colour scenario... And anyway, you expect your food to stay liquid yet your shit to be solid?

Indeed. The best diet? Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Yeah, they do spell it "yoghurt" in countries other than the USA.

Not true. I've been drinking a bunch of homemade smoothies for 2 months now, and exercising a bit, and I lost 15 lbs! Going for a total loss of 60!

Well obviously it didn't help OP to loose weight

Thats too much bacteria in your system.

It's probably the lack of fiber that's to blame for the loose stool. The bacteria in yogurt are the kind that help digestion.

YDI for being completely retarded and not doing sensible research or actually getting off your fat lazy ass and working out. Seriously, a smoothie? Why would you ever think that'd be a good idea? The sugar from the fruit completely out weights the health factor.
lulu69_fml 0
Well the sugar from fruits aren't bad, you do need the sugar. The problem is when you add more sugar and when you don't workout to get rid of all those sugars. And the chocolate shotgun... its because you aren't getting fiber in your diet, try eating apples and corn

You do not necessarily need the sugar. The body can produce carbs from other things you eat.

YDI for not researching the proper way to do this. And I'm pretty sure it's not meant for weight loss.. it's meant to flush your system. If you had done it properly you would feel refreshed and energized and not like a bag of crap. Whatever happened to just eating healthy and exercising to lose weight?

WHEN will people learn that a balenced diet is best and stop stupid diets like these? Did the friend even try it before giving such fabulous advice.. Sheesh.

Amen! Yoghurt is great for you. But not as your only source of intake. I have no problem with cleanses. I don't know how much a cleanse really does for someone, but I don't see it as being harmful. That being said. Cleanses should only last 24 hours. I see no other reason to force yourself to eat the way you did. Let's hypothetically say you DID lose weight off thos quick fix. Let's even hypothetically say you lost 15 lbs! Go you! Unfortunately, before you could even purchase new clothing to fit this fab new body, you'd have gained it all back. You robbed your body of essential nutrients and as soon as it can find some it will not only latch on, but store it in the fear that it will not receive more within a reasonable amount of time. (This is why your metabolism slows when you don't eat... your body goes into emergency mode, even if you don't realize it...). It is also impossible to "kill" fat cells short of surgery. You can shrink them, but you'll never officially LOSE them. That is why the ONLY diet is not a diet but a life-style change. Change the way you eat. Eat less, move more. It's a REALLY simple equation. Reduce portion sizes, eat more frequently, be conscious of what you eat, and get your ass outside and move it. If you need HELP doing this, Weight Watchers is fantastic and the ONLY diet that will work long term because the core of it is the essentials of proper nutrition and exercise.

My friend did a ten day long "cleanse", only after she talked to her doctor, nutritionist etc. But what it consisted of was her drinking only water, certain teas and (home)juiced fruits and veggies with supplements add to them. (Stuff like protein powder etc.) She updated her facebook notes everyday and at the end she said it was one of the best things she ever did and that she felt very refreshed. She definitely did NOT do it to lose weight, as she realised any weight she lost would be temporary. It was more so because she had been feeling pretty run down lately and just wanted to see if it actually would help. She was smart enough, though, unlike the OP to realize that you need to do your research first and not just consume yogourt and smoothies.

Dolt, just eat healthy and exercise! You have diharrea due to all te bacteria you have ingested. Thats obvious. Goddamnit those diets annoy me. Its so obvious that theyre flawed and dont. work

Want to be skinny then just eat tuna (plain) and salads with no fat dressing. Drink water only and chew gum for a snack. Coffee black, unsweetened teas. You don't have to thank me.

Tuna is high in mercury. Eating large amounts of it is a REALLY bad idea.

Did you measure yourself beforehand? If you were exercising also, fat may have changed to muscle. Muscle weighs more, so you may have added weight but lost inches...just throwing it out there.

I seriously doubt this dolt was exercising.
