Unconventional Ways To Lose Weight

Post Reply New Topic

Oh and i have no idea if this is true, but I have heard sex can cause one to lose weight.

This was back in the 19th century. Nowadays, you might find tapeworm segments for sale online but I would be too scared to swallow one.

One time I saw a 27 ft. long tapeworm in a jar preserved in formaldehyde. It used to be inside a whale.

How did I forget about meth!

It burns calories...

As far as eating 5 small meals a day, it depends. I'd say yes, if you're being active, this'll be good, as it'll keep your metabolism up, but if you're not, then no. The other thing too, with 5 small meals a day, people vastly overestimate the amount of calories they eat anyway, so 5 meals if you're eating a crapload of calories per meal is dumb. That said, this man here eats 2 big meals a day, to keep his weight high. Really...

Anxiety and depression can be quite effective. Of course for some it has the opposite effect. Either way I wouldn't recommend it...

Not very healthy at all, but it's a stimulant so yeah it would work.

I take my favorite waterbottle and three rubber bands...plus a few extras for penatly bands. the goal is to drink three bottles of water during the day and for each bottle of water you drink remove a rubber band. after your rubber bands are gone allow yourself one serving of junk food if you want more junk food you have to drink two bottles of water per serving. I like this because i can do it and still follow doctors orders and i dont feel hungry. I have Hypoglycemia and have to eat every few hours. Plus it is healthy nothing extream just habbit changes

Water isn't always healthy, watch out for Water intoxication. When the brain swell, you know it's bad. But hey, rubber bands to keep track is a really good idea.

When it comes to Hypoglycemia, do you count drinking water as having eaten?

Black coffee can be helpful. Some times I will have a hot cup during or after a meal and it seems to help aid digestion. Fidgeting also does burn calories, I almost forgot. There was some T.V. show that said some fidgeters can lose up to 300 calories a day simply due to fidgeting. Not that I support fidgeting to lose weight

Yard work or housework is good too. Keeping active and being positive is also very important.

Yeah they sure can. Both legal and illegal stimulants help weight loss. In only some severe cases I think they are prescribed or even recommended by doctors for weight loss though. As for anxiety disorders, it can work for and against you. Some people lose weight, some people gain weight due to the extra stress. And for your other topic, sex is generally quite a physical activity, so yes it does burn calories and can aid in weightloss. I've had an unfortuante experience with someone who would just lay there though, and I know she wasn't burning many calories.

Five small meals generally means.. five small meals as in low calorie meals. This should not put most people in a bad position if their meals are actually small. Even for people not very active. Typical meal schedule for people is "breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and maybe desert" so I don't think 5 small meals is pushing it. That's just me though. Two big meals a day for that guy I can imagine is pretty damn big and he seems to be eating for mass so he can lift big. He looks dang near 400lbs.

That's a good idea. I make sure I keep a gallon jug of water around me during most days. Since it is right there with me I make sure the water is gone before I go to bed. It was a goal to drink that much at first, now it is something that is easy to do. I don't know if it's a good idea for other people, since I do work out and work up a good sweat. Due to drinking this much water though I find it keeps the appetite and cravings from coming out as much as they do when I drink the standard 8 glasses a day, which can result in weight loss and weight management.
Another thing is peppers. For me it's Jalapenos, Habanero, and other much hotter peppers and recipes that call for them in order to make for a hot dish or just a very hot salsa or hot sauce... All very good if you're into hot stuff. Here is one quote from a site
"Both hot and sweet peppers contain substances that have been shown to increase the body's heat production and oxygen consumption for about 20 minutes after eating. This is great news; it means your body is burning extra calories, which helps weight loss."

With really hot peppers, I've experienced even longer periods of time where my bodyheat was increased. The main substance that makes peppers hot is Capsaicin, and some peppers have more than others.. I notice after a hot meal involving really hot peppers I inhale and exhale deeper for a little bit so I get more oxygen, and I actually feel kind of like I just got done doing a run due to the breathing and the extra heat in my mouth and body. Some times I will even sweat. After reading this quote it makes some sense why people burn calories after eating peppers, especially hot ones. Let's not forget peppers are extremely healthy too, loaded with lots of vitamins!

I find laughing to be an extremely good way to lose weight. If you watch tv, go for a comedy and it will work perfectly. It will work even better if you stand while you watch the show instead of sitting.

I'm seriously going to write a book about the salmonella diet. Eat rotten chicken and old raw eggs-- lick your pet turtle and lizard.

Actually--I'm joking. I wouldn't want anyone to get sick. --Really.

And it's not an easy diet. I ate some SUPER old chicken the other day and I didn't even get sick. I was sure I would get food poisoning--but no. Of course, I wasn't trying to get sick, just to save money.

Overall, I think the trick with losing weight is to just find what works for you. Something does. The best way I've gotten fit was using weight training and aerobics in conjunction with restricting calories.

You could also brave a juice fast (with fresh veg. juice).

My lizard is pretty clean thank you, clean enough to kiss, and I do. Now if I were to lick his poop that would be a different story. With all the rodent and other raw meat he consumes.

Juice fasts work, or just straight eating veggies/vegetables period... I know a guy who lost 25lbs in 25 days just eating, juicing, and blending his diet of only veggies and fruit. He was very overweight though, but still. I'm sure it works for others less hefty.


Yeah laughing is good... Good ab exercise. Being happy in general works too.

When it comes to Hypoglycemia, do you count drinking water as having eaten?[/quote]
no the whole point to eating every couple of hours is to take in sugars that my body doesn't store the way its supposed to and as far as water intoxication i found that three bottles of water usually is about the right amount i dont mean just go around drinking gallons of water daily

This is both specious and inaccurate. Inaccurate because one can lose weight even with increased calories if one exercises more; specious in the same way that telling a teenager, 'just don't have sex,' is a specious answer to the question of how to prevent teen pregnancies.
