Ana Boot Camp ( ABC Diet )

[x_MySinisterObsession_x]

Hey Everyone .... x

Im new on this site and am in desperate need of a kick up the arse ! So im going to try the Abc diet ... i've not actually attempted this before but it looks really great ..... its a 50 day long restriction diet thing which is supposed to trick your metabolism because you are having different amounts of calories each day ..... im kinda worried though in 50 days there is only 6 days of fasting WTF! so i might have to change that a bit i will definatly need to fast more often than that ...... anyway here is the list :

*edited*

I was just wondering if any of you had actually tried the ABC before ..... and if you have what was your results like ...... and how did you feel about doing it ..... ?

Im planning on going back to being vegan aswell so no dairy or eggs or anything ... im also not going to have any bad carbs so no bread, pasta, rice etc. so i'll pretty much just be having fruits and veg, and maybe some tofu and nuts on the higher cal days ..... i wil be needing some protein .... x

Sorry for rambling please reply and let me know if you've tried this before, i'd be really interested to know how it went for you ? Im so determined !

Thanks alot dolls x N x

[piglet]

i have never tried ABC.. it sounds like a good idea in principle, it basically the same as what i do, varying calories and fasts, but i tend to fast more often so that i can save some calories to eat in front of others...

having said that i dont feel like i have lost this week, so maybe i should try this instead!

one more week til the end of march challenge, then im going to reassess where i am, if iv not lost much il join you on this.

[greencelery]

I'm new on here too! :)

That sounds like a good diet. It would be challenging for me on the fasting days and such because I have to eat with my family, but I think I will try it.

Good luck!

[annabella]

hiya, it does sound good, like greencelery i have to eat with my family so cant really have fasting days but i do try to vary my cal intake as much as possible. Good luck with it!

[LiquidSunnshine]

Hey,

I decided to start the ABC diet today. I haven't tried it before but it looks interesting so I'm gunna give it a shot.

[LessThanPerfect]

iv never heard of this diet, but might try it

btw chopped tomatos are great way to lose weight

[x_MySinisterObsession_x]

Hi All x

So today was Day 1 of the ABC *edit* ...... Today i have had * but i have eaten SO much it is unbelievable i forgot that by not being able to have dairy of carbs you eliminate so many calorie its unbelievable !!!

*edit*

Hope everybody is ok and doing well if you are trying this ... or considering trying it ... i feel amazing just eating * .. i think this is seriously going to work .... Im only going to weigh in once a week so hopefully there will be some progress !!

<3 Stay Strong ... Starve On x N x

[annabella]

well done hun, it is amazing how little we can eat and still feel full. i'm working myself down to that so when i eventually get out of my parent's radar i can join you!

keep it up. xx

[floskii]

I'm planning on starting this tomorrow and seeing how long I can go. Good luck everyone xx

[LiquidSunnshine]

I had started yesterday but I had such a bad day today and then on break from ym last class everyone was heading out the caf and I couldn't resist... I binged and I couldn't seem to stop myself. I feel like such a pig. Tomorrow I will start again though. I am determined to do this.

*edit*

[LessThanPerfect]

wow i cant wait to try this. i had a really bad day yesterday (some idiotic boy called me a fat bitch) so i ended up eating half a bag of crisps. now feel horrible. but starting tomorrow im gonna try sooo hard. just want to say thankyou, its great to have this support and help :) x

[x_MySinisterObsession_x]

OMG im completely freaking out right now ! i had ** !!!!!! *edit* HELP ME ?

i dont know what to do !i dont know wether to fast all the way before the party and try and start this again on Sunday after the party or just carry on with this because its quite low cal and wont make me look bloated and awful ... please help ? What would you do ??

Urgh im fasting tomorrow anyways so really this is tomorrows problem !
<3 Stay Strong x and good luck 2 all those who are doing this x x x

[annabella]

hey hun, if i were you i would only fast tomorrow if that's what it says to do, otherwise at the party if there is food there you might be tempted to have some (i know i would if i had fasted that day).

Also it will ensure that your metabolism doesn't shut down which is what the diet is designed for.

*edit*
xx

[LiquidSunnshine]

Well, I restarted the ABC diet today after my screwup yesterday. I am feeling pretty good about how I did today.

*edit* I hope everyone else is doing alright.

[annabella]

well done hun, that's brilliant! xx

[x_MySinisterObsession_x]

i know i shouldnt but i have to fast before this party .... i cant bare the thought of going to see people having been eating ... im going to start the ABC diet again on sunday at about 8pm ... *edit*

how is everyone ... is there anybody doing the ABC still keep me posted x

[LiquidSunnshine]

Hey I am trying to do this but it is really hard right now. A show I'm in called "Everything in the Garden" is currently running so I have to eat before going on stage otherwise I'm far too likely to pass out... it has happened.

So I'm not doing very well... today I ended with 666 calories all together.

*sigh* I feel so fat and disgusting I can barely stand it. Sometimes I wish I could take a knife and just carve the fat off my body... *cries* In truth I'm not doing very well today but it's alright... I will get this back under control...

[x_MySinisterObsession_x]

Started the ABC again today after the party ! managed to get a 24hour fast in before i ate again .... i B/P yesterday :mad: !!!
Today under * successful! the only food i have had is a *edit* Not to bad .... i guess

are you still doing this LiquidSunshine ? let me know how you are gettin on hunni

<3 Stay Strong All x

[feathergreen]

i really want to do this!!! it looks very similar to some plans i have tried in the past. the only problem is my birthday is in 10 days and i my family is taking me out to the melting pot (soooo yummy but soooo many calories!) i'm considering starting the ABC and then fasting 2 days before my birthday and 3 days after. i just don't wanna binge and then have to purge.

[Cordelia]

I started ABC today and can't wait to see the results. I've tried to find people who have made it till the end but with no luck..:( So I really hope I'm gonna be the one!

So far I've had * so as it is my day one, i still have * to go. I'm trying to follow the rules correctly, cause I know this is not gonna work if I eat * cals every day.

So wish me luck!:)

[LiquidSunnshine]

[ssubbie]

no i haven't tried the abc diet. but i'm anorexic and i have eaten like that before restricting to extremely low calories. and i just have to warn you that it's very DANGEROUS. you get extremely weak , your body starts feeding off its organs,,,ect...you get the picture please don't do it!

[rezzy_anorexic]

im going to start abc tomorrow. i would love some support =] thanks!

[mustbeperfectx3]

I've heard of this before, but I never got around to doing it.
I think I'm going to do it, :D

[ThinWithin]

I'm definently trying this next monday. I find it easier for me to fast now...so hopefully goes good.

[ThenCametheRain]

omg, i am going to try this starting tomorrow. I have to lose weight because the doctor gave me antidepressants that made me fat...

*edit*

[XxstrongxX]

Oh my god i'm doing this and it's amazing!!! I've lost 7 lbs. this week! Only 30 lbs. to go! You all have gotta do this diet! Try it this summer and you will be amazed at all teh weight you will loose! I think it really does trick your metabolism to process food faster so it doesn't stay on your body. Most of the weight I loose is pure fat! Do it!

[ThinWithin]

I started the ABC diet today even though i said i was going to do it Monday. I'll post later and tell you all how good I'm doing....

[ThenCametheRain]

I'm such a failure. I've wasted soo much time eating... gonna start for real tomorrow. I have to...

[STFUxNAME]

i'm starting tomarrow, hopefully i have the strength to do it, good luck to everyone. wish me luck. xx.

[xrebekahx]

im finkin on starting 2moz my cw has kinda froze for 2days nw and it pissin me off. i've heard it very good so i really want to try it.
anywun want to be my budy.

*edit*

[Jack112]

Does anyone know where i can find the abc diet rules or do i just make up what i have each day in advance?

[mard]

sounds like a goood diet but i couldnt do that i think id rather just fast for like 2 weeks or something

[mard]

Edit

your not very fat your not far of from me :)
im not skinny or fat im just average with love handles lol

[xokrissox]

Im starting this tomorrow hopefully i can do it but i think because i have easten about 600 cals today i may fast tomrrow and start saturady...i hate myslf today i ate to much...blah gross...anyone want to be my ABC buddy let me kno or add me to msn

[Missalyssalove]

I'm starting this tomorrow. :D
It looks like a better way to ease my self back in because I know if I automatically just start fasting I will binge, then I will be my disgusting self again,ick.
I've heard from other girls that they liked it, I would add in more fast days too :)
Stay Strong girls!
<3

[xesmex]

i'm just starting day 2 of ABC and it's going pretty well!! i might have to switch up some of the days though 'cause my family make me eat on sundays :( and a couple more fasts before a party on the 30th! :) anyways good luck girls x

[jamesgirl]

I'm new here :) I need to lose alot and love this because my fam, bf, & friends are constantly watching my intake @ least this way I can always eat alittle around them! Oh and doing this vegan is the best. I always drop more when I go vegan, rather than vegetarian.
Good luck to everyone!

[love2beskinny]

I'm new here. I've had self esteem issues since I was a little girl.. and I have been dieting for years. Nothing seems to work, and I'm never completely happy. I hate myself.. I wish I never but I can't help it. :( I just recently heard about the ABC diet and I'm gonna give it a try.. I mean hey, why not?

height: 5'5
*edit*

[angel-dust]

hi.. im new here ... i just started the ABC diet today... lets see how is going to go . wish me luck ...

[riadradtastic]

Well, I gained seven pounds in the week end because i broke my fasting, and i wanted to know how fast the results were for the abc diet? I just started sooo, like to know. :)

[ballerina47]

This looks like a good diet i tried it out..well trying it out. I'm on my 3rd day, and its already hard but i have already lost weight!woohoo.

[Mietta]

Could somebody please give me an example of what you could eat each day?
That would mean a lot to me to get some help!

Thanks!

[NeedToBe...]

Hey,
I am new to this forum and actually new to all of this. I'm a dancer and dance 4-5 hours a day, but need to have a plan or else I will binge! This weekend was full of stress and disastrous in terms of eating. I have decided to start this diet, but added about 300 calories to each day since I dance so much and that's about a quarter of what I burn dancing (I can still lose tons of weight but avoid being caught or passing out in dance class)

Problem is, all of my friends think I am too skinny already...not true! so I have no one to talk to for support. I was wondering if someone here would be willing to correspond with me on a daily basis so I have someone to check in with and vent to. It would be best if you are also doing the diet, but in general just someone who knows what it's like to want to lose weight and feel like crap when you don't.

Looking for support
just need someone to talk to.

Luck to you all
drink water...it helps sooooooo much!

[eBean]

i'd love to do the ABC, but some days the calorie intake is really high.. and it scares me to go over like *

[take notes]

i'm starting this tomorrow. any tips?

[Lokidoki]

I soooo don't like this diet. I'd rather do it on my own without having to follow each day. Of course you can adjust it for you but if I'm sticking to a 50 day plan, I want to stick with it! In 50 days something is going to come up where you have to take in more calories...Like eating with family, friends. I have to go to my friends 21st birthday thursday and she wants to go out to dinner with all the girls. I HAVE to eat a whole real meal :( The only way I've done the abc diet is by throwing in bad days. Liiike....I might be forced to eat on day 10 so I'll eat whatever I have to and then start day 10 the next day and always keep in mind that I'll have days where I can't control what I eat because of other people. It's sooo much simpler to just do it on your own without rules though and then you don't have to feel as guilty about having naughty days and ruining your diet...

[niea<3]

I edited it to * days * plus i also changed everything that was * *** :P

I have a list of it on my blog, but i've never finished it... Im trying to get this ***done before i start on it again.

[take notes]

itd be great to have support.
anyone have aim?

I'm not apart of this diet but I'd love to give eachother support.
SweetCheeks3362 is my aim :p

[brooke3344]

I was just wondering, If you do excerise to burn calories, does that "count", or is this actually based on the number of calories you're supposed to take in, and the amount of exercise you do doesn't matter??

[dawn_]

*edit*********

[mard]

starting this today i need to get used to having a plan :/
wish me luck, i think ill need it and if theres any hiccups like forced to eat, a party or something, ill start back to day 1.
does this sound good idea ?xx

[mard]

okay so im on day 2 now doing great so far lets hope it stays that way, when it comes to night time something bad normally happens in my house, like an argument or something, and then thats when i get a urge to b&p or even just binge sometimes ;/
anyway does juice count in the abc like if i were to have a can of fizzy juice would those calories count ?

[dying-to-be-thin]

Ive decided to start this tomorrow :)
Wish me luck! <3

[vixie]

I started this today at midnight.
i have the stuff in a word dock and im going to write down each item i eat and how many cals they have and then at the end of the week ill take my weight.
i increased the number of fasting days from 6 to 10.
wish me lucK!!

[ananova]

So, I'm probably going to get banned for this, spammed at furiously, ignored, yelled at on teh interwebz, and have my account deleted etc. etc. et al for this, but I just can't understand how people try to do this and wonder why they bounce back in weight, or have so much trouble staying thin, so here I am to save the day. Sit down everyone, I'm about to learn you the human body. It has taken evolution 4 billion (with a b, as in a thousand millions, or 4x10^9) years to produce the species who currently dominates the Earth, man. In case you are wondering, that's 2 million times longer than our current era which we call AD. In all that time, we have developed an immensely complicated and efficient metabolic system which has stood the test of time by being able to adapt and overcome famines, shortages, ice ages, wars, corporate hunger strikes and just about anything the world can throw at it. Here I will simplify how your body does this, because perhaps some understanding may help some of you choose a different path towards weight loss and overall fitness. The method your body metabolizes and decides how best to keep you running is simple in that it runs on a variety of "modes" suited towards survival. These "modes" include: storage (when you eat to much, converting excess energy into fat in much the same way that bears do before hibernation), survival (when you're in the wilderness fighting off polar bears and big foot, trying to keep your body warm, and hunting for your food, during which you burn between 4500 and 7000 calories a day), athletic (as the name implies, leading an active life style, burning an above average amount of calories but not fighting for your life and trying to keep body heat up), normal (the "mode" you occupy when you go about your day to day minutia, burns roughly 2000 calories a day), and starvation (where you eat too little and your body compensates by storing energy). We will only concern ourselves with starvation, normal and athletic modes for this discussion, as I don't think many of you are going to the arctic or are feasting sumptuously on the fat of the land on a day to day basis.
So, now that we know a few of the basic "modes" your metabolism goes through to keep you going, here is where you fit in. During a normal day, your body is preprogrammed to burn an appropriate amount of calories for your height and weight, about 2000 in the statistically average person. You don't have to do anything, you could sit on the couch and play video games all day (which does actually burn calories, at least more than watching television does, but thats another discussion). If you want to maintain your current weight, you need to eat that same amount in energy (calories and carbs, some fruit too, but its negligible in comparison). If you want to lose weight, you eat less than your average, but here's the tricky part; if you eat too little, 55% of your natural calorie burn or less, your body goes into starvation mode and starts to store that energy. What this does in turn is slow down your metabolism (basically your body thinks its in an environment that is experiencing a famine, and is trying to keep you from dying by stockpiling resources, ie food), which in turn slows down and can even reverse weight loss. Strange huh? If you want even stranger, look at super athletes (we're talking olympians) like Michael Phelps. He eats 12,000 calories a day, 6 times the average, and he has under 10% body fat. The real solution to dieting is diet AND exercise. How about Takery Kobayashi? He eats competitively, sometimes taking in 20,000 calories in a sitting. How does he still have a body like a little Japanese Adonas do you ask? The answer is all in the work out.
Here, I'll give you a personal example. I am a college student in the southeast United States. I come from an average middle class family. I'm also a male since I haven't previously made that clear. I never did sports in high school, and was never really super serious about getting in shape until the summer between my junior and senior year (I was trying to impress a girl, it worked [okay, so it was also the flowers and writing her poetry and what not] and then she broke my heart, such is life). Going in to High School I was 5'11" and a hefty 250 pounds. Chubby is not even close to what i was. Over the years I grew a little, finally settling at a lofty 6'3" going into that summer, and still sporting my weight, 260 at that point. I met the girl. I got determined. I started eating right, about 1700 calories a day (much less than I had been eating at that point), and working out. Everyday I'd jog a mile and a half down my road and back, do some sit ups (not that I have or had abs, which are a real pain to get >.<) and finish with some pushups. It was incredibly hard work, it sucked even, but it was worth it. You see, because I was eating so much before, my metabolism had compensated by increasing. It didn't cover all the calories I ate, but in 3 years I only gained 10 pounds. That summer with the combined effort of good eating habits and exercise, I lost 40 pounds. In two and a half months, 40 pounds. To some of you, thats probably not a lot. To me, I wouldn't trade it for one of these super hardcore diets plus a million dollars (maybe a billion dollars, I've always wanted to buy my own island...), and the reason is that now, 3 years into college, I'm 6'4", 240 pounds, and 15% body fat. I work out, I eat right, sometimes I even eat way too much, but my safety net (my metabolism) keeps me balanced.
I'm not saying I know everything, but I am saying that maybe instead of trying to trick your metabolism you should look into how your body works, and try to work with it instead of against it, because its had 4 billion years to evolve and you haven't; it knows how to fight back when its threatened, even if its you that's threatening it. Here's my advice in a nutshell: 1, look up the average calorie consumption for someone your height and weight. 2, write down a weekly diet and exercise routine that starts at your natural (according to the average from your research) calorie need, and try to cut out about 3500 calories through diet and exercise a week. According to science (I'm an engineering major, but I like to dabble) 3500 calories = 1 pound of fat. You can try a little more, but no more than 5250 calories (1 and a half pounds) out of your weekly program, any more and you start to go back to starvation mode. Is this going to be quick? No. Is it going to be pleasant? Hell no. Does it work? Yes. All those actors, celebrities, TV personalities, models, and generally beautiful skinny people live on programs like this. Also, you can take it from me, guys like girls with a few curves. The human body lives in three dimensions so don't try to flatten yourselves out to two, its not as divine a form.

PS Sorry for using divine in a sentence.
PPS Although it is the best way to describe the female body.
PPPS Someone famous originally penned that whole "divine form of the female body", but I don't remember who.
PPPPS Don't hate on me.

[cassiexox]

why cant people get it
eating disorers is not about getting thin
there is million ways to get thin and be healthy
eating disorders are mental illness
do you think that the millions that have eating disorders dont know all the info you stated
you are not the only genius apparently ha?
please read enough about eating disorders first

[NYC.Love]

Hey i tried ABC once only got to day 6 i lost 5lbs x

[NYC.Love]

I don't think you understand .
Do you not think ive had days where ive woken up and thought" right thats it i'm doing this the healthy way i'm going to have enough calories and an hour exercise per day .. the weight will come off slowly but i don't care" and thats fine for a day but then the voice inside my head tells me "you really think your going to lose weight eating all that?" also .. and this sounds sick to you i guess i miss the feeling of hunger i miss my stomach growling and feeling so in control of myself .. so yes i get the human body and how it works .. We are NOT all stupid here.

[Gollum]

I think you are all misinterpreting his comment. Personally, I didn't read it as a critique of EDs but a critique of the ABC diet which is based on the absurd notion that varying your calories by the hundreds can "trick" your metabolism into not going into starvation mode. I admit that some of it sounds condescending "you should look into how your body works" (most of us are quite well informed) but overall, the fact that he posted it on the ABC thread instead of making his own puts me on his side. The ABC diet is honestly ridiculous.

The comment "...only got to day 6 i lost 5lbs" proves my point.

[weightkate]

wow, girls look better with curves? aw cool i'll just "end" my ED right now (: thanks so much im healed.

[ananova]

I ♥ Gollum. Thank you for at the very least understanding what I'm trying to explain (albeit poorly explain). Before anyone else jumps on the "you don't understand mental illness's" bandwagon, my uncle is schizophrenic and I've had to assist him for years, so I know a little bit about disorders and the like. This was not my point however, as Gollum pointed out. I was also not saying that anyone is stupid, nor was I trying to be condescending. If I offended anyone, I apologize. I will not however apologize for pointing out how ludicrous diets of these sort are; if you cannot handle that fact then I don't feel the need to try to rationalize with you.

PS weightkate, I enjoy banter, please keep it up, its like a little ray of sunshine in my day.

[SleepIsForTheWeak]

I start this on Thursday.
Not to mention that I'm getting work done on my jaw, so this should work out great since that will already stop me from eating as much.

But, I'm scared.
I need someone I can talk to when it gets to the rough points where I feel like I can't stop myself from eating.

[FixYou]

I am planning on starting this tomorrow so we can talk to eachother about it and stuff?
I have just made my first meal plan for tomorrow :) x

[alexus]

I am new here as well but very eager to give this a try. Looking to drop some weight before Halloween and this looks like a good way to do it. Restricting and a lot of exercise (and green tea) :-).

[jackiestar911]

Hi iam also new to this site and doing the abc diet! ITS AMAZING AND WORKS! i am on week two and have drop 5lbs a week If you go to losertown and put in your calculations its basically accurate. I am a model that need to get to a 0-4 and i work out like its my job hehe well it kinda is. Food is the enemy and I love it. plus i had to kick alcohol too! ITS AWFUL But the results of your body changing is worth more then a drunk night with people that are over weight..

[Boommm]

He I'm also new here,and I am going to start ABC tmorrow!
*edit*
Sooo..wish me a luck :)

[Cachinate]

Hi. :) I'm starting the ABC diet today. Can anyone give me some tips please? I have to eat dinner with the family, and they'll notice if I don't eat.. But my mum's a weight trainer, so she eats very low calorie meals, anyways. *edit* Anyone want to do it with me or help me or vent or anything? :) Email me or add me on msn at To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.. Thanks :) x

[darkStar]

[skiinnyjeans]

Hey Guys.
So it's my birthday on thursday 21st october (TWO DAYSS!!!) so the next couple of days are going to be full of binges so will probably pile the stone ive lost back on. So decided on the sunday after my birthday, i am going to buy some scales, even though my mum said no :P and start this diet on the monday. Bit nervous as I have bad willpower :( But I need to be skinny so bad!

Stats:
*edit* <3

Hope everyone is doing well xx

[birdieflyaway]

I'm doing this too. NOT because I am anorexic, because I'm not, but because I am sick of trying to eat a little and then eating a whole lot and purging :/ I am sick of purging, it's painful. So I have decided to set a cal intake and I thought that this seemed like a fair enough choice. *edit*

[awake]

I was just curious if people have had better results by sticking as close as they could to the actual numbers?
It's just habit to eat under whatever guidelines given to me, but I feel like I'm cheating myself cos the whole point is to keep your body guessing.
Anybody have any different results by sticking to it or eating under?

Thanks

[weightlessrunner]

I was curious as to whether or not people had read the thread titled 'ABC landed me in hospital'

[awake]

Yeah I did, but there's a) denial "well i'm still fat, and i do eat..." and b) 'that'll never happen to me' thinking that i can't shake.
Logically I know it can happen and I'm not an exception but that voice isn't as strong as the rest.

Hey everyone (:
Im new to this site.
And I started this today.
But heres a little bit about me, Ive been dieting/restricing on and off for the past two months and I have lost 23 pounds. That may seem like a lot, but its not because I do weigh a lot. I started at 198, and am currently stuck at 175.
*edit*
Soo anyways back to the abc diet .

Im very excited. I started today, and so far have done good.
*edit*

[helplesslyhoping]

I want to start this but the two * days are daunting. I usually find it really hard to go over *a day and I just can't bring myself to go over that. Which is probably why I never loose weight S:

[MissDannie]

So far doing this has paid off.

At this moment, im even more motivated by depression, just found out the guy I was dateing for the past 3 months doesnt want to be with me. Im convinced its because Im a fatty.
Started this at 175, Today is the start of day three and Im at 171.

Im hopeing to get to 150 by the end of the year, and eventually 115 oneday.

Wow have you done exercise or anything?
I'm starting this today, but I'm scared I'm going to gain! S:

Wow have you done exercise or anything?
I'm starting this today, but I'm scared I'm going to gain! S:

The first night I jogged one mile, soo about 15 minutes of jogging, and then I did about 30 minutes of crunches, leg lifts, and some arm stuff with small weights. Last night I just walked around town with my friends for about a hour.
So actually, I have been exerciseing a bit less then normal. Im planning on doing one of my normal workouts tonight. We will see the results in the morning.(:

Do you take diet pills? I dont >.< Im scared that when I quit them Ill gain the weight back.

[Gollum]

i was curious as to whether or not people had read the thread titled 'abc landed me in hospital'

reblog! :)

Quite a lot of exercise! I'm scared of doing too much as I hate gaining bulky muscle. I have loads of bulky muscle as I used to be an semi-elite gymnast S:
No I don't. I have been tempted, but I'd have to find vegan ones, and I think they're a bit scary!

Im scared of not exerciseing. And I feel ickky when I dont. I used to be weigh 140, on a tone of diet pills, exerciseing every now and then, and just eatting every now and then, then I gained a lotttt of weight from a emotional event. Im afraid to gain it back once I get to my goal weight .But Im happy with not eatting a lot for the rest of life, being skinny is all that matters to me.

[MissDannie]

Bleh not happy this morning.

Didnt lose any weight. and only ate * calories. I didnt exercise much tho, I was too tired. All I could do was a bit of walking, and some crunches.

[fatemmy]

my fat lard-self started this 3 days ago and lost 3 lbs so far. I've been exercising every day too.

[Butterfly-93]

i started this diet today!! so it was 500 cal or less
so i have decided on 400 for today to boost my metabolism!!!
i hope it works!

[puppylove]

Count me in. I'm starting tomorrow. ABC diet with all calories from vegan foods...maybe some really lean chicken if I start to feel really weak. I just learned that my boyfriend's ex has lost 100 pounds. (Kill me.) Yeah she was big, but she isn't now. And she did it in 4 months. Gastric Bypass, I'm thinking. I can lose weight fast...a pound a day even, but have never sustained it for four months straight. Sooooo....I'm giving ABC a try. Let you know how it goes!

[MissDannie]

This morning is better,
Start of day 5, down another pound.
Might have cheated a tiny bit yesterday, but I hope not. I jogged .75 of a mile, and walked .75 of a mile.

How is everyone else doing on this?
And hi new people (: Hope this diet works just as good for you as it is for me.

[brittybabi]

i started this today :\
we'll see how it goes.
if i gain tomorrow i'll be so mad! haha.

[rissa323]

Hi girls, I'm going to start this tomorrow. Since I have a physical job (working at a horse barn, so I clean all the stalls, exercise horses, do laundry, etc. for 8-9 hours a day) I will add 200 to each day if needed. I'm hoping to lose 20 lbs. in a month! I don't have $$ for food which means even if I didn't have an ED I wouldn't be able to eat anyway, lol. How convenient.

[paige]

Starting this tomorrow too! ~
Still a little nervous after SkinnyCow's thread, but I'm starting to not care anymore.

[MissDannie]

I gained a pound =/

I think it was because stress and drinking tho. because I know I cheated yesterday, because of the alcohol.

[helplesslyhoping]

I'm on day 5 but I've only lost 2lb :( I'm starting to give up on it now, I was supposed to have 200kcal today but I had 600 instead because tomorrow I'm fasting :P I'm out on day 5!

[Hidden Wings]

I'm on day 6. I'm already in a diet group, but it'd be nice to share thoughts and support eachother in this too. :)

[forever_thin]

I'm on day 6. I'm already in a diet group, but it'd be nice to share thoughts and support eachother in this too. :)

I'm day 5, I'm here for support if you need it or want a buddy! <3 xxx

[brittybabi]

dayy 3 here :] guess i need to eat something soon haha :\ gah i'd rather just fast forever.

[poppylove]

well done!, iv never tried this abc diet, but im going to start it on monday, hopefully i can stick to it!, good luck with the rest of your abc diet! x

[MissDannie]

Its really hard to stick to. =/ Im always ending up way under or over the calorie intake.


but it has worked good. 6 pounds in one week, I cant complain.

Im not sure if ill stick to it for much longer, Ill most likey just go back to my normal under *edit* a day and not worrrying about meeting a limit each day.

[Butterfly-93]

i am finding this so hard!! i hate having so many calories, i am on day 4 and not sureif i will continue... is anyone finding thaT they are actually losing weight??

[brittybabi]

yeah i hate all these calories haha. thats the hardest part for me. i really just want to *edit* again. i think i'll give it a couple more days and then *edit* again. plus i can't afford to eat everyday haha. unless i'm eating the shitty crappy stuff in my fridge. which i def don't want. i don't think i've lost anything with ABC and i'm on day 4 too. i'm pretty sure it takes a while though it's not instant. idk though. :\

[No way out.]

Hey, I joined just now.
I'm going to start the ABC diet in about three weeks, 22nd of November, and it finishes on 10January!
So basically, my problem is definitely going to be the christmas holiday's, but I'l fight it off, hopefully!
Need all your support!

[sunrise89]

hey everybody!
I am new here, just registered. I've had eating disorders for a long period of time, always feeling to fat and ugly in comparison to other girls. Over the past 6 month i binged and purged a lot, but instead of losing weight, i could barely maintain, even gained a few pounds, i am so unhappy at the moment,hate looking into the mirror... i just want to change that. i am desperate to lose weight, so i think i´ll join you here =)
wish me luck to stay strong, because this diet sounds pretty tough, especially when you´re used to binge much and your stomach has gotten big because of it.
Does anyone has some tips how to not give up? does the hunger get better after some days?

[No way out.]

Hello.
Well today, I finished making my 50-day plan!
*edit*
Sunrise89: Well I have some tips, though not sure they will help you or not.

[laurachristen]

Today my first day and I'm finding it hard to go *edit*, I feel like every time I eat I won't be able to stop :(

[poppylove]

im starting this tomorrow, so hopefully i will loose weight by new year!,
i feel so down in the dumps feeling this fat cw: 141 :@, im looking to go to about 110:
i need a buddy to help me though, these big intakes of calories are quiet scary :|
could do with some support!,

il keep up to date with any changes etc..

[No way out.]

OMG - Laura Christen, I know exactly what you mean, it's like once you start, it's hard to stop, and you might go over limit?
I'm starting this on the 22nd, so need all the luck!

[laurachristen]

Good Luck on yours if you need any support I'm here :)

[brittybabi]

i gave up on ABC for now...*sighh* i'm just going to exercise and fast. ABC is tough. only because you have to eat so much! and actually keep it down! holy crap. haha. maybe one day.

good luck everyonee! :] you can do it!
<3

[MissDannie]

I doing the abc along with the november *edit* (:

*edit*

[DearBreezy]

Yeahh I tried this but failed today and im just probably going to water fast for a few. I just can't stand eating because I attend to binge :/ grr ill just have to try abc another time. Maybe next month or somethingg.

[brittybabi]

i had the sameeeeeeeeeee problem :] i'll be your fasting buddy haha. <3

[sunrise89]

Well, my first day is over and i´ve to say that it was pretty hard. Laurachristen I can so relate to what you said....once you´ve started eating you can´t stop, its horrible. i try to keep myself busy so i won´t get time to think about food, haha its really difficult.
@IN it to WIN it: thanks for the tips, i really tried sticking to them today and it worked, especially *edit*
good luck to all of you!

[No way out.]

Thanks.
We'll help each other.
Here if you need me :)
Though I start on the 22nd!

I've got a few food plans, that I could eat during the ABC! So hope it works out.

[No way out.]

Awesome.
I'm gonna need to start doing that again, cause recently, after college I tend to hit the kitchen, though I may not binge, I eat the food that my mum cooks that day, I say to myself "Just for taste" But that's not good, going to have to do it especially during ABC diet.

[skinnyminnie]

so im starting the diet tomarrow! im really excited especially when i read that it actually works. I know how many calories i am supposed to eat, but can someone who has done the diet before give an example of [I]what[I] exactly they ate and how much? Im with the people who would rather *edit* and i want this to work so bad!
Also, my bf wants me to be skinnier but doesnt like when i dont eat, so i save the calories to eat with him, but when i do eat i feel like i cant stop! any ideas?

*edit*

[skinnyminnie]

what food plans were you thinking of? i know i feel like brittybaby, if i start eating i wont be able to keep it down...

[Skinnyjeans]

Hi Everyone!! Im new here today, and Im starting the ABC diet today!! Let me know if anybody wants to join me, or just want us to back eachother up... :) My plans for the first day is to eat *edit*... wish me luck peeps...

[MissDannie]

Starting this again tomorrow (:

Lost a good amout off of it the first time, but I didnt finish it.

[Rainbow_Ana]

Starting this on Monday~! Although with *edit*~

[143dreams]

So this post is what brought me to this site. I searched ABC diet on google and here I am. I know no one is going to find out I'm on here. But I'm paranoid someone is going to find me on here and send me to a therapist.

A year ago I managed to lose 20 lbs (cheer cheer :) over a one week period. Emotional problems pushed me over the edge and the only way I could avoid feeling sick was not eating. I basically *edit* It was also my suicide. I wasn't going to commit suicide because I didn't want someone seeing my dead body... If I was going to die I wanted to fade away into nearly nothingness, so people could stare down at my starved, disciplined body in my coffin.

Then I fell victim to binge eating, that's my real eating problem. I've gotten better and my binge eating is now normal eating and trying to not eat. A year later I'm back to my original weight.
It's not so bad... people say great things about me and how I look. It's just the way I see myself that I can't get over. I hate my appearance... I look away and avoid the mirror, except to put make up on. People say I'm pretty and have a good body, but I can't see it. I guess I'm not so bad, I have a good chest which balances everything else out. But I still hate my body and my face. There's nothing I can do about my face, but at least maybe I can get the body I crave...

So that's my back story, I've decided I'm gonna try the ABC diet :) starting tomorrow along with visiting to the gym, if I'm lucky *edit* It's kinda what I had in mind all along, just written down from someone else's ideas. I'm gonna be determined to stick with it through to the end. Or until my desired weight of 115. Hopefully I like my body by then, I'd rather have some body than just bones. But if I had to choose between my body now and bones, I'd choose bones.

[JessieJealousySHOCK]

I'm brand new here, but i tried starting this diet as a way to get back into my old habits quickly, and it FAILED. i was trying to go from over 2000 calories a day to less than *edit*so that might have had something to do with it. but it still didn't work for me, though its great in theory.

[Edie101mod]

I've started this today! Wish me luck!

[artist16]

Hi! I am new as well and I am starting the diet today. I am also editing it a little bit. I plan to quit eating meat entirely (which is a good excuse because I've tried the *edit* I'd be interested in hearing about your progress! it's nice to know others are starting when I am.

[weightlessrunner]

There is a false belief that a diet which alternates the amount of calories eaten each day *edit* will 'trick' your metabolism but in actual fact, whether you believe it or not, your metabolism will slow down pretty much as soon as you hit the 1200 calorie or so mark. Will the ABC Diet make you lose weight? Yeah it probably will because you're essentially starving. Will the ABC Diet 'trick' your metabolism? Of course not, you're eating only *edit*. Your BMR is AT LEAST double that.

Only 10?? I say 100 and I'll split it with you.

[*blue*]

Just a question but has anyone actually successfully completed the entire ABC??

[LiquidSunnshine]

I have, 3 times.

[Gollum]

Only 10?? I say 100 and I'll split it with you.

But who shall pay us?

[weightlessrunner]

But who shall pay us?

Hmmmm good question...I didn't think about that one. Any ideas?

[artist16]

Really? That's awesome! About how much weight did you lose from the diet? The first time you did it?

[LiquidSunnshine]

First time I lost 52 lbs. Second time I only lost 32lbs. Third time I lost about 15lbs. I don't do it for the "metabolism" effect. I like the challenge of the strict amounts and the fact that it does switch from day to day keeps me from getting bored. Currently I'm doing the SGD to get me through the holiday season.

[Gollum]

Hmmmm good question...I didn't think about that one. Any ideas?

The boot camp commander maybe? I'm trying to google their name but I'm not coming up with anything. All I can get is "Ana" but she appears to be some sort of "goddess" and not actually involved in the management of the boot camp. ;)

[Tavam]

To those refuting the possibilities of this diet having a metabolism-altering effect: You are right. However, this diet appears to be more of a psychological benefit, rather than a physical one. Humans accomplish a lot more when they are following rules and a routine. If someone was just "dieting" there would be room for a cheat, there would be room for a fast, etc, with no guidelines to follow. This diet, with its strict routine and guidelines keeps the mind on track in order to not stray from said diet.

Yes, a "*edit*" diet would be essentially the same, but the fact that you must alter your calories (with a purpose of "metabolism," as false as it may be) under conditions of the "guidelines" provide a much more authoritative aspect of the diet over the individual. Hence, the person performing the diet would be much more successful in staying on the diet.

EDIT: I've decided to start this today as well. I saw this thread today, and I've eaten exactly *edit* ABC day 1 is *edit* or less. So I just won't eat anything else today, and continue with this ABC diet. I'll put it in my signature.

[crazybeautifulx]

I need the feeling of self control back. I need structure. I am starting in the morning and am very excited. SW is around 136 but has been fluctuating lately, and i am 5'8. Looking forward to the challenge, and to getting myself back.

[MissDannie]

I keep failinggg at this >.< There is something in me, that wants to finish it, just one time. Its really hard when I go out with family and on dates tho >.<

Anyways, starting over tomorrow. I lost about 20something pounds on it the first time. about 5 the next because I didnt stay on it for long. Ive been loseing weight slower because I havent been exercising a bunch like I used to, its uber colldddddd outside o:

Precisely! I've often thought about doing ABC more so to 'test' my will power than actually try to lose weight but then the smarter part of my mind goes, hang on, if you're really going to test yourself, why don't you try to eat more instead? Isn't that harder to digest (no pun intended)?

Yeah I do wonder who came up with these figures.

[x-cassidy-x]

I've done it before! It went amazingly, but I felt awful for weeks. It's worth it though, so let me no if it works out for you!

[Eat2live]

Well without further ado,

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hannah. New Member:)

This Thread prompted me to ad in.

I have been alternating between fasting -style days and *edit*intake for a while now.I have become much more aware of what I am eating, why, and what I can do to curb cravings. This is good

Unfortunately I didnt have the right food/drinks around me to feel comfortable with intake so I had a "f" it day and went to a buffet style restraunt.

Now that I have discovered the beautiful world of forums like this, I feel armed and ready !

So I am going to return to a maximum of *edit*, I will be joining boat with the ABC diet and hope it yields successful results

As silly as this may sound, my main goal is to allow myself to be in control of what goes into my body.

The average american is obese, and while I am no longer what you would call skinny, I havent met that level yet. And I do not intend to. Unfortunately most everyone in my family is chronically overweight and generally unhealthy. I would hope that the guidence I recieved as a child would help aid me in the right deciscions but I have discovered that I have to re-learn. No good examples to follow, but

[Eat2live]

Ive always been one for independence.

Im hoping this diet will help train my body to survive , so that I can learn to eat to live, not to eat just because its tasty food, or its what im around at that moment. That being said, I have to be careful, I have had periods of time where I would not eat under any cirumstance for sometimes days at a time. I am also borderline diabetic and have potassium deficiancy so I have to be somewhat aware when I am cutting off calories.

All that in mind I had some ideas and wanted to get some feed back, perhaps from those who have done this, are in progress, or curious to embark as well.


- *edit*I am not expecting it as a way to loose weight, just hoping itll provide the extra energy to keep on keeping on, as I do workout.

-*edit*
and many other random finds

I f anyone knows of anymore Id greatly appreciate the help and support. Happy dieting and remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder, until next time BE SAFE stay smart and show your beautiful smile

[tattooaddict]

I'm new to this site, just joined cus I saw this and thought I would comment.

Personally. The ABC diet didn't work, The problem with this diet for me, is it doesn't let you eat 'enough'.

what I have found works better is cut all sweet unnessasary food, only eat when very ungry, quick snack... toast, sandwhich, someyhing healthy, and have at least one good cooked meal. That way, you don't feel hungry..But trust me.. the weight drops off.

hope this was helpful

[Francesca Marie]

I'm in for this one, I'm starting today since I haven't eaten anything as it is already so I'm stoked.

[Tomboy_Ana]

I'm probably going to try this next month. Because your stomach shrinks when you don't eat much, apparently (I am not certain). So I'd feel less hungry, and it would be more successful...
So I'll 'prepare' for it this month, if you get me.

[AngelPromise]

im starting this today... looks like somethin i can do

[Rosalia]

Just want to let you know... that I just got in trouble with the administration for posting stats. So you should probably take them down to avoid getting that e-mail. Hope all if well <3 Feel Good

[jenniwren]

I've been on ABC for the past 9 days, except I did a 2 day fast between Day 6 of it and today because I binged. I'm going to finish it. if I overeat on one day, I'll just fast the next day. *edit*, you can eat a large bulk of food without too many calories so it's good. I miss bread though, even though I only used to binge on it anyway, if I had one slice, I'd just like eat a whole loaf XD

[want2fly]

I'm on day 3 haven't eaten anything except half a cup of vegetable soup. Feeling hungry and great! <3

[jenniwren]

I'm on day 3 haven't eaten anything except half a cup of vegetable soup. Feeling hungry and great! <3

The point is to target the calories, not to eat as little as possible. It's supposed to boost your metabolism. It you've only had half a cup of veggie soup in 3 days you're not following the diet right.

:) xx

[wmm502]

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I am preparing to start this diet next week. Should I exercise while on this diet? I have a lot of trouble getting to the gym, but with so few calories, I really don't see the need to anyway. I go to the gym when I get bored but not regularly. I am not really interested in building muscle... I just want to lose fat. For this diet to work, do I need to exercise? Thanks!

Age: 18
*edit*

[want2fly]

i meant i had half a cup of soup on day 3, i ate on days 1 and 2 as well. no worries =)
thanks!

[mychemicalromance]

im going to start the day one on sunday! Sort of cant wait, cept its gong to be harder cause that will be my midterm break an ill be around temptation that week :( anyway i am 107 now so goodluck me, and everyone else :D

[wmm502]

im going to start the day one on sunday! Sort of cant wait, cept its gong to be harder cause that will be my midterm break an ill be around temptation that week :( anyway i am 107 now so goodluck me, and everyone else :D

It will be my break too, so I'm also worried about the temptation. Plus I live with my grandma and she obsesses over my eating habits. Btw I know that it's none of my business, but how tall are you? 107 lbs is light and this diet seems extreme.... If you look back at the posts on this thread you can see that people lose like 30-50 lbs on it, and assuming you lose at least 30 your weight would be 77 lbs :/

[JakkiPaige]

I feel so disgusting in my body, I honestly look at myself and cry sometimes. All I want is to be beautiful, to be thin. I'm going to do this with a vigorous work out plan. Please let me know your results.... I cant stand looking at myself :(

idk round 5 foot 4, or something. im well about the 'healty wieght' so its all good, i can afford to lose it esp when i dont lose easily at all, and dont exercise too much :)
Same my mum is becoming more like that, cept she has layed off now she got me taking these big vitamins. They are horribleeeeee but i take them to keep her happy

[RainDrops930]

I just started today...so far so good

*edit* Going good :) I really hope that I can stick to it

[Adella_Anesthetic]

I tried the abc diet about 2 years ago and it worked really good. I was always high or drunk sooo I lost track of where I was at after about 2 or 3 weeks in lol but I still lost weight. My friends that were doing it with me could even notice my weight loss. I just had a baby a month ago so I'm going to try this again starting tomorrow. Good luck to everyone else that is trying this =D

[briar_rose]

god not another one.

You know its all well and good some of you can 'afford' to lose the weight because your bmi is normal or overweight but you don't even consider people close to becoming underweight/anorexic or people that have/have-had a bmi Ranging from 10-18.5 and are really triggered by this thread. Their the ones that concern me because a lot of people on this forum are.

[RainbowEyes]

Wow. This thread is nearly two years old o.O

[fattyturnthin]

omg im Actually cant wait this for to work! :) 50pounds? id be 80 if i lost all those! new hope:)

[Passion4Ballet]

Wow. This thread is nearly two years old o.O

I know right, most people don't even realize it.

[littlenymph]

I'm on Day 8 right now. I've lost 5.8 pounds so far but I binged on Day 4 and then my weight remained the same after the binge for both Day 5 and Day 6. So, I probably would have lost a lot more... Keep in mind though, that I have a lot of weight to lose so that is probably why it is working so quickly.

I was on the Skinny Girl Diet before this (but I counted the calories of fruit).

Is anyone else on it? Has anyone else gotten any good results from this?

[Violet]

This thread is actually how i came across this forum in the first place.. I didnt actually know what the ABC diet was and googled it only to be directed here.. I tried it, failed and then i lurked around a bit then finally decided to make a profile and start posting here..

amazing how things work out lol

[xZombiEllax]

Violet- Are you gonna start again now? :o

[Violet]

No i am not.

[xZombiEllax]

trying something new? :P

[Ana_obsessed]

I came across this thread and omg, was just what I was looking for!
I have done the Ana Boot Camp Diet before, was about 3 years ago and I lost 40 lbs.
I went from 150lbs to 110lbs and I'm 5'5".
I just started back at it yesterday, so this is Day 2 for me and I'm loving it!
Now this time is a bit more dire...I would be happy with just 120lbs!
I weigh myself every morning and journal everything I eat, weight, body fat %, lean mass, and fat, as well as calories burned from working out...and my starting weight this time...god it's embarrassing, but was 170lbs! So yeah...about time to get back on track ya think!
I'm so siked about it and working out again feels sooooo good. Except this time my goal weight is 120-130 or 12-14% body fat...at least to where I have a little ab definition like I did back in the day. I know I could go on and on about this stuff lol.
Basically, here is what I do...
On Day 2 of the Ana Boot Camp Diet
I journal my thoughts and all that mentioned above daily.
Daily I calculate my Basal Metabolic Rate
I drink at least 1.5 (try for 2) Liters of water daily
I work at at least 30-60 minutes daily (usually jogging and resistance exercise bike)
I weigh myself and get my body fat (although more accurately weekly) every morning
...and that pretty much sums it up.

As I said, I started at 170lbs. And this morning was 165...somehow! And when I weigh myself I do it three times then get the average to be more accurate.

I'm glad to have found an outlet and others who can relate! Best wishes to all of you and best of luck ^_^ !

[ellyfrenetic]

This thread is so old, I love that it's still going :P Anyway, I'm a newbie to this forum, my name's Elly :) Started ABC today. Had my calorie limit for the day, *edit* gonna stop there! Good luck to everyone else who is doing this. I've never been able to make it past Day 4... :/

[Ana_obsessed]

Yeah, for me getting started is the hard part. In the past I have once done it start to finish...have attempted, lol oh about half a dozen or so times. From my experience, after you get past week one it gets a little easier. You realize what you have already accomplished, it feels good, and keeps you motivated to keep going. The further along you get the easier it is and eventually it becomes just a part of you daily routine and nothing to it...for me that kicks in after about the 3rd or 4th week...and from that point I know for sure I'm good. Best thing to do is to think ahead about all the obstacles (birthdays, parties, etc) you might face and find a way to manage them ahead of time...

Luckily yesterday was only my Day 2...restarting tomorrow tho...there aren't many things that keep me from sticking to my diet...I really could care less about food...but today is my significant others birthday and we are going to get drunk tonight lol...But I still worked out today, twice as much as I usually do and burned about 700 calories on the resistance exercise bike, so I feel pretty good.

In the past I used to 'beat myself up' over things like going over my calories or not working out. But I've learned that the best way to handle it is instead of getting mad or depressed (and binging)...well I now just think of it as room for improvement, analyze the situation, and take control of what I really want and do something about it. Staying positive and learning to love yourself for all you have accomplished is really good motivation for me....not to mention how good it feels being empty or having worked out really hard...love that feeling...

Well, I typed more than I meant to so I will stop here...*Stay Strong* <3

[The Bright Side]

*edit*

*sigh* What was I thinking??

[odette04]

hi. Im planning to do this abc diet but i will put 200 calories with the daily calorie intake which contanes only fruits and veggies because i find the calories are very low and Im afraid that I would start to binge. It would be easier and I hope it will work as well. Has anybody tried abc with plus calories? and how much weight did you loose on it?
and im starting this today :)

Height: 5'9"
*edit*

[Melancholy]

I've tried it. It's EXTREMELY difficult. I couldn't do it the whole way because of Christmas and all. I prefer fasting and restricting.

[ellyfrenetic]

Day 3. I've lost 1.6 pounds in two days, but I ate over my calorie limit yesterday so it's amazing I didn't gain... :P

[deathly enchantment]

I'm starting this plan on Monday but that's sorta what I do anyways callorie shifting, wish me luck :P

[iToast]

I've just started this and i can't wait to see some results :)

[abitdifferent]

is it wrong for me to say I'd find this a dieti a good day of eating to me? one wer I think i would of probably eaten well and probz been "full" :/ shits insane. Please try stop promoting this crap it's giving out a bad message to people. looka the posters age above me :/ it's really sad to see

I won't post or complain here again it's just seeing the 1996 thing above that wrenched me abit...then her asking for support from people :( But I dunno her story anyway but I wish some of you get to where you want and go on and be healthy afterwards...and not carry on like a lot of you sadly will :(

[iToast]

I'm not going to keep losing weight until i'm ill and hospitalized, it's just until i get down to roughly 120-125lbs which is still a healthy weight for me to be. It's just all my friends are thinner than me and sometimes its really upsetting. x

[Casey]

i'm 7 days in :) going good.

[iToast]

This is my 2nd day, I started on Wednesday and i'm adding the 2 missed days to the end. It's going well so far :)

[Divine]

Are you guys already losing weight.I have tried but I failed at day 4, but actually I lost a lot in 4 days, I gained it, but It was good feeling.I was going to start it today, but I have problems, so I will delay it till I feel alright.I'm interested how much weight someone lost in 7-8 days, is it good weight like you fit in clothes or bad losing with muscle pains and water.I was very surprised the first time I tried I fit in one pair of jeans in three days, so I guess my metabolism was tricked?

i most certainly have and its only been a week :)

[Divine]

Can we do the diet together? If you want any support - anytime PM.I'm writing here when I start.This time I hope nothing will stop me too.Today I really hit the bottom of my personal drama, so I decided I don't f'cking care what happens with my body during the diet.I just want to lose weight no matter what.:( I'm hoping for losing 20 pounds and then try to stick at 115-120.

[Maigre]

Hi, I am new here and planning on starting the ABC diet tomorrow YAY! :-)
I have done it before, years ago but only got to day 28 and lost about 30lb in that time wich was brilliant, so I certainly hope to have similar success this time, only now I am determined to make it all the way to day 50.

H - 5'7"
*edit*

[nonomnes]

I think I might go ahead and start this tomorrow? Anyone want to join me? It always helps to have another person. PM me, if so.

I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself.

[Ana_obsessed]

Well, I got 6 days in and lost 11 lbs...then had one, just one taste of a food and then blew it and binged...so restarted today and from now on not going to even have just a taste of something unhealthy or something that might lead me to a binge. If I can make it 6 days perfect, I know I can get this...I just gotta make sure to be extra strong and determined on certain days. Best of luck to all of you...I'm down 10lbs still so at least I'm making some progress.

[CJN]

I went on ABC and dropped from 133lbs to 91.6lbs its INCREDIBLE! Changed my lifee x

[whatstolifebutobsession]

I'm doing it!

[littlewish]

Oh my goodness... I didn't know it actually worked for anybody @__@ now I want to try it! How long did that take you?

[livelifemiserable]

GAH! The only thing stopping me is my parents, anyone know how to get around them ;)

[.light.as.a.feather.]

Hey! I'm new here. Going to start this diet today :) I need to lose lots of weight for my wedding!!!!! Positive feedback would be lovely :)

[mammamia]

Hey so im on day 3 of ABC and i have a few queestions and i'd love it if you could help me out :)
1. *edit*
thank you darlings xx

[Casey]

I'm on day 13 and i've lost around 10 pounds.

[veggiegirl]

Hi, I am new here. I'm starting the abc diet tomorrow. Does anyone want to be my buddy? Also, mammamia I think that the *edit*is how much you eat in total without exercise, so exercise is a bonus. And you should no purge extra calories because it will lead to you falling off the diet. Just be strong :)

[secret.fighter]

I posted on the ABC thread on the dieters section, but guess I'll post here too =] I'm currently on day 5 and feeling quite good about this~

My guidelines for myself includes trying to stay at or slightly under the daily cal allowances, tho if I go 50-100 over, I won't beat myself up for it. If I go even farther over, however, I'll simply try and workout some more on top of my usual workout routine~

I wouldn't mind a dieting buddy =] feel free to pm, veggiegirl or anyone else~~

[awake]

Does anybody else stay the exact same weight for two days before losing? I was the same weight the 11th + 12th went down same weight 13th and 14th ... My eating isn't staying the same. It got less. Maybe I should work out more o.O

[secret.fighter]

Just got my new scale in the mail! Yay. This is the first time I've weighed myself since last summer lol. Assuming I stayed about the same weight all this time (eating "normal", holiday binging, dieting, a full week of binging before starting ABC...maybe it's an inaccurate assumption but whatever lol I'm feeling excited =P), I've lost about 9 lbs so far. Gotta keep going~!

On day 7 and very determined.

[annaindietland]

Im new to the site to lol!
Im starting this tomorrow, but am also wondering how to detox incase I cant do this?
good luck, Anna

[BonnieBelle91]

Kinda tempted to attempt this.. have the shit i eat tho doesn't have english on it.. :\ hahaha

[secret.fighter]

Failed at day 9. Stupid spring break and triggering foods at boyfriend's house. Been binging for 5 or 6 days now and still going. I was doing SO WELL too...weight down, looking good, working out daily... and now I'm back to being disgusting and miserable.

Hate myself.

[Divine]

secret.fighter, don't get hard on yourself. I did the same thing, only with the skinny girl diet, on the 9-10 day I started failing, no reason! I had lost significant weight and feeling not bad! Now 5-6 days 4000 CALORIE binges, back to my disgusting self, now even more fat! I'm gaining like crazy. NEED A CHANGE

Ah... good to hear I'm not alone, but on the other hand, I wish we both weren't facing this of course. It's just discouraging to mess up suddenly after a period of doing well and actually seeing results. I'm upset because the visible progress should've been enough for me to keep going...but nope =T Also difficult because I've been at the house by myself a lot, and even when I'm not alone, I keep heading towards the kitchen and eating whatever I can. I'm also pushing 4000/day, and I'm only 5'1"!! ughh

Determined to change! We can do this!

[Divine]

Are you going to begin ABC again, because I'm starting today, if you want a buddy just tell, we seems to have similar problems.

[strawberrylolita]

I'm currently on Day 2 of this and have lost 3 lbs. :) It's really working!

[secret.fighter]

PM'ed you~

[candy-life]

Hi everybody,
First day on this webpage - i do want to loose weight - i am passionate though about how the body works (which sounds weird as i want to be skinnier and skinner - obsession!) I like that diet, though it is a diet that is only going to work on a short period of time as in as soon as you quit/stop, you body that has been put on the starvation mode will start stocking the food (as in bad fat) *edit* and stock the last 50 as reserve... so if you fast before you are going to have a high kcal intake your body will automatically stock some of the food in case it is going to starve again anytime soon... Have to stay constant.

I have lost about 20 pounds, and did eat very little kcal - very healthy - fruit veg, no carbs -- though i kept eating breakfast and diner (approx same time - very little kcal) and snaks during the day - like say you are not hungry though "taste" your boyfriend's food - so you get something but not a full meal.. Ate less than *edit* a day and was active all day and never fast...

I will try this diet - though no fasting! :) Hard as i just moved in with my family again... going to be hard...
but will try.

good luck everybody!

[~hopeful~]

Just started day two and already lost 2 pounds :)

[secret.fighter]

How is everyone doing? I'm on my second attempt at ABC, day 5, keeping a blog here with my daily progress. Hope you all are well~~

[AgentJK]

New to the forum but very excited to try this diet out. I have done so many diets and have lost and gained and then lost and gained. I am going on vacation this July and really want to hit my target weight. I just started this diet today and actually doing good, guess we will see how it goes when I drop to fewer calories.

This diet seems like something I can actually do so I don't starve all the time, I can still eat little meals so my husband wont wonder whats going on. Good thing you eat fewer calories since I usually try and burn 4 to 500 calories at the gym every night! Good luck!!

Update:
Wanted to send an update out there just in case I can't get back on tonight. I am finished with day 1 and went over by 69 calories. BUT I have yet to hit the gym and will easily burn those and then some calories off. I am a little hungry but *edit* does help curb that.

[xblindmyeyesx]

i decided to fast till thus then star on week 2 on *edit* cals ive been so bulked up and bloated i dont feel like eating till it goes down good luck to evrey one tho

[Divine]

I don't understand why people change diets how they want.
ABC is crazy anyway, but with fasting days before, you will totally sink into starvation mode and weight loss will be limited in the next days.I advice you to try to stick to it.I think on starting it, I was planning days ago, but again personal issues and troubles with my mind.But I've been gaining weight and looking bulky too!! xblindmyeyesx, we boys here are rarе, you have my support anytime if you want it.God bless.

[redspottedpurple]

hm yeah, abc is crazy and i guess your body will go into starvation mode anyway. no matter if you do fasting days before or not. but yes, fasting days before are going to make it even unhealthier. or something.
anyway... i was planning on starting today but i screwed up and binged. so i'm starting tomorrow. this time i'm really going to pull it through. last time i stopped cause i was concerned about my health. hm.
good luck to you guys though.

[Divine]

I'm always in the middle of a "HEALTH FREAK/F'CK HEALTH - BE SKINNY" mood frenzy!
When I'm eating normally or binging I tell myself: "starve yourself to be perfect as you want, don't mind the health.Look there are so many people starving, doing fasts and they are alive."These are my calming thoughts.
Then I start the extreme diet and the insomnia comes, my hair starts falling, mouth hurts and then i start panicking about every single pain I have in my body.When my stomach hurts I'm imagining something is rupturing and I'm going to die in a minute.This is sick!

i know what you mean... eating doesn't make you feel good and not eating doesn't either. it sucks either way and it is sick. everything about this is sick.
i'm sort of wondering how much longer my body's going to make it. bingeing, restricting, b/p'ing, restricting, etc.
it's stupid to think you can do this without damaging your body. i know my heart isn't ok. it's worse when i'm in a bingeing phase. i'm not exactly keen on dying of heart failure. so i have got to stop.
and yeah... insomnia sucks big times. hair loss is even worse. but i don't care. i need to be thin. (gosh.. i tell people how dangerous and bad restricting is all the time. i should learn to follow my own advice. it's pathetic. ^^)
and what exactly makes your mouth hurt? i never get anything like that...

[Divine]

When I don't get enough vitamins or something, my whole mouth gets these bad cuts that bleed and hurt.This is actually my alarming signal that I'm taking the diet too far.Other is when my eyebrows start to fall.I've got periods where I would just touch them and they would fall on my fingers.I'm so happy I completely recovered them! At a point I thought I was going to go bald 15 years old.Anyway, I'm the same as you.I'm non stop talking about healthy eating and how dangerous diets can be and people think I actually lose the weight by some great and slow methods.Yeah, right! Who am I kidding? I want to be thin after all too.And I'm not now! I feel average.People now tell me I look like "strong man"!Some guys will think this is a compliment but for me this is proof that I have really PUT SOME WEIGHT, it's visible for people!I'm happy that most of it it's muscle, so I guess it's not disgusting as fat.Cuz I binge but exersize alot. I need to get to 140 and then slowly go down to 130-125.

[Divine]

OK, so I decided, tomorrow I will start restricting! Don't know what diet, but it will be less then*edit*.I'm taking *edit*I'm kinda scared but I want to clean myself from all that CRAP I ate.Pray I don't poison myself.:0

[redspottedpurple]

really? hm i've never heard of that mouth-thing. also my eyebrows are luckily not falling out. my hair is though. i've started taking multi vitamins now. maybe i should have done that earlier.
and oh yes i HATE when people tell me that i look good or pretty or healthy. being called healthy is actually the worst. i need to be skinny and i know that when i'm really skinny, nobody ever calls me healthy because it just doesn't look healthy. it looks sick. so for me, looking pretty, good or healthy eqals looking fat. which is stupid but i can't help thinking that way.
and be careful with the laxatives. i took like 11 yesterday which wasn't exactly a good idea...
anyway... take care :)

[Divine]

I should have been sleeping at the moment, so I don't feel the other effects of laxatives like pain in the stomach, but someone is ringing on my phone all night! I hear only strange breathing.I can't mute the phone, cuz I'm expecting a call anyway.I'm getting worried.Sorry it's offtopic but I just got the worst call.It's again hidden number, it was breathing heavily, then told my name which scared me.I hope it's just coincidence cuz my name is the most popular in my country.If this is a personal agenda... too much for me to handle!

gosh that sounds scary... maybe it's just been a coincidence after all. or one of your friends playing you a prank? i mean.. it's saturday night so maybe they are out partying, being drunk and drunk people do that sorts of stuff, right? ^^ are you living on your own?

[Divine]

I thought about it, but I don't have much friends, don't know who would do such a thing.Maybe someone from my class that hates me, there is one boy that is copying me and trying to "outshine" me.
It's becoming stalker-ish, I'm very concerned.
My pills havent worked yet!10 and more hours passed... I need to poo.

[redspottedpurple]

walking helps. or drinking coke. ^^

i'm already over *edit* today. :( i had this yogurt and i thought it was 100 cals and then i looked it up on the internet and i was actually 200 calories. seriously?! who makes light (!) yogurts that have 200 calories? this sucks. now i'm at *edit* and i already feel a binge coming "because i have failed anyway and so it doesn't matter". yes it does matter! it does make a huge diffence if you're 70 cals over the limit or 7000. fat-me doesn't seem to see it this way. fat-me wants to binge.

either way. i'm going to have to start at day 1 again tomorrow.

[Divine]

The laxatives did their job wonderfully :).I'm over *edit*too.But it's mostly healthy stuff.I decided I will try fasting diet that is - *edit*.It's more easier for me like that, because I would need the energy for the end of the school year.I'm playing in my school basketball team, so I don't think I should risk and collapse in front of everyone.I actually hate that I have to run every single day and exersize in my school with the other boys.I think if it wasn't that I would have lost all the weight.But when I do this kind of exersize and don't eat I start getting really sick and my vision is blurry.
It's so pathetic and dangerous, but I'm waiting for the end of school not because I want to rest, but I will have all my body to try different diets and put myself in fasts and all that.

[skinnyriot]

I'm on day 7 but i weighed in on day 5 and i had lost 11lbs!!! woooohoooo!! I am very big though. am actually planning to go for 55 days coz imma hav a problem getting off it b4 then. haven't gone over on any of the days and i started working out on day 5 coz i was just too tired and drained b4 then. Need to lose 50lbs. So 11 down, 39 to go!! Want to eventually go down to 105lbs, i think.

I'm starting the *edit*diet tomorrow, which is essentially the same principle, except you generally do eat *edit* Usually alternating between approximately *edit* is what's recommended, but I'm planning to alternate between *edit* for the first ten days or so to give myself a kick-start, then go up to *edit*
I've started a thread about it and I'll be blogging, maybe you'd like to give it a try? :) You could modify it as necessary, of course- I think most of us are :P

I've seen that some of you added some calories to ABC because the given calories are extremely low.
I too find it totally difficult to stick to the calories (I am married and a mom and have to pretend to eat normally during meals too...), and I was wondering if anyone of you adds the calories that you burn from exercise to the daily cals?
Do you think that would be ok or is that cheating? :)
Or what do you find appropriate to add to every day? 200 cals? Wouldn't that be too much?
*Sigh*... I'm just scared to gain weight if it's too many cals or binge if it's not enough... Please help! Thanks so much!!!

[Forest_Floor]

I'll give it a go. But i'll probably fail because my family are all concerned about me and force me to eat. Usually I end up giving in and then going on a mass binge.
I'd like to know if anyone has had any success with this diet? Thanks :)

I know what you mean...on weekdays at school I always fast and I find it easier. I don't know why, but when i'm at home it's harder to fast...well for me.
Day 1 on this diet and i've already failed. Everything was okay till after breakfast. I thought avacado's weren't so bad and I didn't know how many calories they contained...I ended up eating quite a few.
Breakfast, fruit n fibre (207 calories...i think)
avacado's
green tea
----------------------------
tea with almond milk
two quorn hotdogs.
Then I went on a binge and ate quite a few biscuits. But I purged them. Guess i'll just have to start again tomorrow :|

[banknote]

Pretty new here and currently on my second day of the ABC diet and still going strong, but I'm just curious, do you subtract the calories burnt from your daily exercise from your total intake? I haven't been doing that so far, so I've not been "cheating" as such, but I'm just wondering.
Also, when do you begin to lose weight? I've been hearing talk that it only starts after the first couple of days.

[junkhead]

started this diet today and i'm feeling rly good about it! i've tried it once before and lost 20 pounds in about 4 weeks, i would've lost more tho if i hadn't screwed up a few times. i eventually reached a plateau and got scared i wouldn't break it and gave up =/ oh well. i'm experienced with it now and have learned how to work through the days and what not, so i'm pretty stoked :3

this morning i had
*edit*

i think i might just log my diet here because it will probably keep me motivated and confident :)

[banknote]

So proud of myself. Started this diet on Friday and in (nearly) five whole days I've lost 10lbs. Eeeeeeeeh, so happy. I had a bit of a shake up with the lack of food and the amount of exercise I was doing on the way to college Monday morning, but I *edit*
Urgh, I'm so happy. Haven't even been tempted to binge yet. *edit* Watching the weight fall off is so fulfilling.

[junkhead]

today was decent i'd say. second day, *edit* but i went a bit over which i dont feel tooooooo bad about because it was with *edit* oh well.

*edit*
meeehhhh ):

[brookes91]

Well I've done a cleanse over the weekend and kept a record of everything I've eaten for the past 4 days and since I'm pretty much in line with ABC so far, I'm going to start today from day 4.

So just *edit*tomorrow, although I think that may be tough! alot of green tea I think!

Would love to know if anyone else is going through it to, will keep reposting to let you know how I get on and if I see any results.

I'll probably not do it for the full 50 days, just 36 since I go to Spain then haha! Hope everyone's doing well!!

[babybluehun0327]

hello (: im def joining abc today! just wondering do you guys ever do the eat every 3 hours thing and then dont eat 3 hours b4 bedtime? supposedly it boosts your metabolism

[AgentJK]

I am doing this diet for the 3rd time haha! I am going to add a few calories just because I know I wont be able to keep it super low. I am going to stick with the accounted calories if they are not lower then *edit*

[Persistence]

I started abc and I am on day 9 ....:o:o
I have a a dinner with my uncle on the 1 st .... I really don't know how to keep to my diet .... Help me ..... I need bright ideas

I hope I don't get attacked because I'm giving idea... this is not TIP on how to purge and all that...this is the thing I say when I have important dinner with person -*edit*:P But this is a lie, not very good thing.:D Anyway, I'm good at them. :eek:

I agree with Divine that would work or you could simply order *edit*

Hello :) I don't know really where to start being new and all. Well I could start with just saying that I didn't mean to start any diet but yesterday I got fed up with the way I felt about myself. I needed a change. So I ate *edit* yesterday all together, and it felt.. amazing. I felt powerful and that I could go on forever with feeling so empty and light. So I decided to start the ABC diet, after I read this thread here :) So inspirational, people here really seem to want to push themselves, just like me. So what do you say? Welcome a Finnish girl in as well? I promise to try my hardest, pushing the limits, I swear!

Anyone know where I could get a cheap scale here in the UK as I live at my boyfriend's house (btw, no, he will not like me eating so little, but he wants me to be happy and this is the only way I will ever accept myself - thin) and they haven't had the time to invest in one? I'd LOVE to see my progress going through these 50 days in my weight. I want to brag to myself how much I lost after the 50 days :D

U c he is sorta acting like a reporter to my parents bout me , I am studying in Milan n my parents r half way across the globe .... He is visiting Milan for business ... So if I say I *edit* my parents will freak out , if i don't eat well , my parents will freak out , if I *edit*hopelessly stuck !!!!! Maybe I'll *edit*::confused::confused::confused: !

Just wondering if anyone is still sticking with this diet and how far and much they have lost. Would love to start on June 6th. Right now I am doing a liquid diet to help prepare my body. I have a detailed menu of everything I plan to eat for that caloric day and my workout agenda. I find that if I have a set menu in order I don't think about what I will eat and therefore I hopefully won't BP. Also wondering if anyone has ever gone over the 50 days. thanks

I'm starting this tomorrow! :D I tried the*edit*diet and I ended up losing 3 pounds then gaining back 2 so I'm just going to stick to restricting to *edit*again. Then I saw this and I figured I should try it out :D
