It was awesome and I felt great! I wish I had kept up with the habits.</p> <p>My dad and grandparents did the HCG diet. My dad lost somewhere around 35lbs. He looks fantastic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238991 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 03:05:47 +0000 BoogieBea 238991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if this is considered extreme but the only diet that i was able to keep up was the zone diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238959 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:58:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 238959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: they all sucked, but the diet tea was the worst! </p> <p>the best thing that worked for me was changing my diet to eat lots of chicken and fish and vegetables. even working out for a year didn't make a dent until i changed my diet. i ate 1200 calories a day and lost weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238889 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:32:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: the 30 hour famine isn't a diet haha!! I did that twice in high school.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: was there a specific thing you liked best? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238882 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:22:50 +0000 Maysprout 238882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ran cross country and track in college so I had times where I was super regimented about what I ate and the timing. And I still was more relaxed than a lot of girls on my team about it. I think in some ways it helped me become more healthy eater but overall it was too much thinking about food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238774 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:13:44 +0000 Minnie_Girl 238774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, just a small dose of fasting. I've done 30 Hour Famine for nine years running, and DH and I tried a modified juice fast (I stopped when I found out I was pregnant...whoops!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238736 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 19:44:58 +0000 Mrs. Bee 238736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did diet tea, diet pills, shakes, juice cleanses, atkins, and plain old anorexia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238721 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 19:11:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: well everything you've said so far made me think that you do :) My mom told me about it and it totally makes since. She follows the Nourishing Traditions "cookbook" which is the most educational cookbook I've ever read. It's great and I think you would totally love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238716 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 19:06:20 +0000 Running Elley 238716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Oh my gosh! I'd never heard of it before but I basically do! I LOVE what I'm reading on that website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238698 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:30:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: oh my lanta. A woman after my own heart *sighs* I am so in love with you right now. </p> <p>Do you follow the Weston Price diet?? <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.westonaprice.org/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238696 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:27:11 +0000 Running Elley 238696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Oh I'm going to look into that cookbook!!! I feel the same way about agave so I always use honey too! :) I wish we could get together and hav a baking party LOL.</p> <p>Eating right and exercise is THE way to go. That's the only way I've ever had sustainable weight loss :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238692 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:24:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: oh that is a bummer :( I've known some people that kept it off, and some that gained it back... hmm... I'm going to try to lose weight the good ol' fashioned way: eating right and exercise :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238690 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:23:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: My mom is part of a co-op called Azure Standard , it is about $5/lb which is half the price of what it sells for in natural food stores!<br /> <a href="http://www.azurestandard.com/getting-started" rel="nofollow">http://www.azurestandard.com/getting-started</a><br /> I did make this bread: <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/gluten-free-bread-20/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elanaspantry.com/gluten-free-bread-20/</a> and it was very good. But it was a small loaf. I don't know how to make it large like a big loaf of bread. I am trying another recipe next week when I get my shipment of almond flour that also uses almond butter. I'll let you know how it turns out. I use the Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam. I LOVE it. The only issue with it is that she uses agave in all her recipes, and agave is SO highly processed that it's equal to high-fructose corn syrup. I just substitute raw honey :)</p> <p>@anonysquire: yeah that's the one bummer... though it could be equal to your current grocery bill if all you're buying is product, nothing else.<br /> That's good to know - I may look into that in the future!! I would love to do a cleanse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238684 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:19:51 +0000 Running Elley 238684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Btw, my older sister did the HCG diet and she lost A LOT of weight and loved it! She ended up gaining it back though =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238683 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:19:10 +0000 Running Elley 238683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Oh I want to juice too but haven’t for the same reason/don’t want to spend money on the expensive juicer that I want lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238682 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:17:58 +0000 anonysquire 238682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: It was hard lol. But I felt amazing on it. I could conquer the world. I would also like to juice too, but I don't want to spend a small fortune on that much produce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238681 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:16:24 +0000 Running Elley 238681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I agree :) Where do you get your almond flour? I want to be able to buy it in bulk!! Also, do you have a good sandwich bread recipe that you like?? DH is DYING for a PB and honey sandwich. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238678 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:14:49 +0000 mrs. bird 238678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not any official ones. Just the kinds that have your PC dr send you to a shrink, and the shrink sends you to a dietician and then she send you to another dr... Haha, I guess I've been a bit of an 'extreme dieter' in the past. I'm an all or nothin kinda gal! I need to find some happy medium. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238677 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:14:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I've heard of that! It sounds sooooo hard.<br /> I really want to try a juice cleanse too. </p> <p>@Running Elley: ME TOO!! I think part of it is even mental. I know how much better it is for me, so that makes me feel better. I've nearly converted my hubby too. He eats whatever I make him. Almond flour has become my best friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238676 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:12:16 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 238676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of that diet. I've actually done the soup diet. 7 days of eating soup. I lost 7 lbs in 1 week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238674 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:11:28 +0000 Running Elley 238674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I’m GF by choice too (just got back to it after first trimester carb cravings derailed me) :) I just feel SO much better overall when I'm eating this way. I’ve recently converted DH to GF too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238671 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:08:44 +0000 anonysquire 238671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day of my life it seems. I once did the Master cleanse diet for 40 days and lost 45 pounds. It was so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238668 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:07:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I am gluten free by choice (not a celiacs)!! I love it!! It's sooo much better for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238663 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:03:34 +0000 Running Elley 238663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No crazy diets but I like to experiment with styles of eating. I’ve been just dairy free, vegan, pescatarian and gluten free! I like eating “differently.” :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-done-any-extremecrazy-dieting#post-238658 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:01:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right before I got pregnant I tried the hCG diet! I ended up getting pregnant while on the diet, so I had to stop early-on. but I was on track for losing weight with the advertised results! They said I would lose nearly a lb a day, and I lost 7 lbs for the 7 days I was on it.<br /> I might actually try it again after I am done breastfeeding if I haven't lost the weight yet.<br /> <a href="http://applevalleywellness.com/custom_content/c_174823_hcg_faq.html" rel="nofollow">http://applevalleywellness.com/custom_content/c_174823_hcg_faq.html</a></p> <p>Have you done any crazy diets? </p>
