It's not perfect, but it'll be close.

F***. Didn't keep it going.

Day 1: 1090 calories, 192 grams of protein on the day.
Day 2: 1150 calories, 144 grams protein
Day 3: 1160 calories, 150 grams protein
Day 4: 1140 calories, 121 grams protein
Day 5: 1150 calories, 132 grams protein
Day 6: 3225 calories, 225 grams protein

Hit my usual 1150 limit at 5:00 pm, after having my usual chicken. But I stay up late on Fridays, and by 7:00 I felt I wasn't going to make it, so I had some cauliflower with a little cheese... all fine, just 1250. But wanted a little more at 8:00, so I had a little chicken noodle soup. Fine, 1400. But still hungry, and I was past my limit, and as people who've battled weight issues know, it's tough to be rational when you're hungry for more. The food kept coming, and the healthiness of that food kept deteriorating.

Trying to get back on track today, and to not let one day get me down.

Day 3: 1160 calories, 150 grams protein
Day 4: 1140 calories, 121 grams protein
Day 5: 1150 calories, 132 grams protein
Day 6: 3225 calories, 225 grams protein
Day 7: 1110 calories, 162 grams protein

Assuming you're talking about the bad day, and not the headlines.... I know. Sucks. But I'm going to be a good dieter and use it as a learning experience. What I learned is that it's going to be very difficult to do what I'm trying to do for all 48 days, but that doesn't mean I can't try hard as hell to keep doing it. And if I slip up again, whatever I do, just get back on track the very next day. If I keep this going mostly as planned for 48 days, even if it's not exactly what I set out to do, I'll still have accomplished a lot.

I agree. I think it's good to have one cheat a week. Maybe you took that cheat a little too far. But I eat 1-2 cheat meals a week and then stick to the diet for the week.

Just suck it up and do the Velocity Diet. It's super simple and it works. It's really good about enforcing discipline.

Low calories, high protein... that's 90% of my concern. The velocity diet seems good, but I'll stick with what I'm doing for now.

Day 1: 1090 calories, 192 grams of protein on the day.
Day 2: 1150 calories, 144 grams protein
Day 3: 1160 calories, 150 grams protein
Day 4: 1140 calories, 121 grams protein
Day 5: 1150 calories, 132 grams protein
Day 6: 3225 calories, 225 grams protein
Day 7: 1110 calories, 162 grams protein
Day 8: 1115 calories, 166 grams protein

Scale loss: 5.5 lbs.
Fat loss estimate: 3.45 lbs.

Not that I advocate what you are doing, and the 3300 day was probably a good thing, but if you want a low calorie filling food... Look into konnyaku/shirataki/8000 other names it has.

Don't make it a diet. Make it a lifestyle change. Diet implies cessation at some point. Find a good eating plan and stick to it.

He's already mentioned he wants to do a crash diet. Why can't you people get that through your thick-skulls?
