Fantastic!

Who is Dr. Beal? In your second (after) pic I see you are working out. When did you exercise with this diet? before, during, after? and how much exercise? this is almost exactly the same diet I was on many years ago from a place called weight loss clinic, except we were allowed to eat 2 thin diet whole grain crackers for breakfast. It did work but I was always very dizzy. I too have tried everything. Being under 5ft tall, I normally ate 1000- 1200 calories a day. At 32, after I stopped smoking I gained 25 lbs. I joined a gym for a year and watched my diet. After a year, I wound up eating salads every night and working out for 1-2 hours 6 nights a week. on sundays. I would eat normally, on Monday I would weigh in and have gained back 2 lbs. I could not lose the last 5 lbs. I had my body fat measured and was told my body fat was much too low at 11% and to add more fat to my diet. I was always tired with no energy. This made me more discouraged. All I did was work out and shop and prepare veggies and salads. I tripped and fell in aerobics class one day under a new instructor there and fractured my ankle. The weight came back on (all of it) in a week. Then I did the above diet. basically, 500 calories a day was what I had always done in high school for quick weight loss for short periods. They also had me walking 30 minutes a day - easy to do if not winter. I lost 20 lbs in 8 weeks. But as noted I was always dizzy. I had to go in 3x weekly to check ketone levels. They said I was fine and were very surprized I had lost the weight in the time I did. I know 500 calories is way, way to low for good health, and now I gain weight eating over 900 calories a day. I gained 5 more lbs. each time I broke a bone that will not go away Also, the younger you are the easier it is to lose weight. All medical studies says you should not go below 1200 calories a day for health, at least not long term.

I'm with you sherlou, sounds very unhealthy to me as well. Under 1200 calories you aren't burning fat, you are burning muscle mass. You have put your body in starvation mode. I wouldn't recommend this diet to anyone.

I believe she means Dr. Robert Beale.

Hey I'm following your diet plan and I wanted to know how long before you saw results?

um.. i dont know how much wieght i should loose to become a good looking...!!! HELLPP! i need to know bfore i acutally start the diet...

Don't do this - it isn't healthy. I lost 30 pounds a little less than 2 months because I got sick with a gastric ulcer. You risk serious malnutrition and/or vitamin deficiencies. Losing weight can't occur from a "diet plan" (you will gain it right back). What you need is a lifestyle change. Eat healthy, eat AT LEAST 1500 calories a day, and excessive. The pounds will start coming off and in a healthy way.

I know this is an old post but this may help i too lost 30 pounds with dr beale in 2 months however he did not have me on the 500 cal diet. Most people dont say how her puts on on a diet depending on you goal/ need. i didnt have a time frame to loose i just wanted to loose so i was over 300 pounds when i went to him. My allowed foods was the same but i could eat as many times a day as i preferred but i count not have anything that was not on the list. with all the veggies and fruits sub for all the chips and candy my calorie intake dropped drastically. I was average 1200-1400 a day (2-4 pound lost weekly) and 1000-1200 a day (4-6 pounds weekly) she was right the maintenance work as well. I stopped going becuase i got pregnant and just never went back but recommend to anyone. He is no longer practicing (R.I.P) but what he started is still being followed by his colleagues whic includes his daughter. so to answer one question the less you have to loose the shorter time he will have you on the diet. and how fast you are planning to loose it ie weddings is a factor too. you go in every week some people twice a week to be monitored.

you know, extreme diets lead to fast results, but not long-term weight loss. When you gain back the weight, you try another diet, then repeat the whole process.

Unfortunately, this yo-yo dieting makes your metabolism slow down, so each time is going to be harder and harder.

I read that people who did the "Biggest Loser" show have mostly regained weight, and are having even more trouble getting fit.

9090 at your age your health can suffer following this type of diet especially doing the extra limitations you suggest that you are going to eat. Most diets with fruit tell you not to eat grapes as they are considered to be almost pure sugar with water. Eating what you listed will not give you the vitamins and minerals that come from real food. You are setting yourself up for osteoporosis.

This is so unhealthy. The diet you describe is the diet that was used with the original HCG diet. There’s no way you won’t gain the weight back. Slow and steady wins the race.
