Practicing sport (either one time or regularly) brings strength and cuts down the appetite.

Seriously, this doesn't seem healthy to me. But if it does improve your life, well done. Do you know what has caused the depression? If so, it might pay to attack the cause before seeking a remedy. Anyhow good luck. Regardz Colin J Davies

Sure, I'll join you. My plan is to eat as normal (maybe less fat and cholesterol) but to run 2 miles per day Monday through Friday and to work out my abdominal muscles (Essential Abs is an excellent beginner's book on abs if anybody is interested).:) Brad Jennings "You're mom is nice.

I will be on a ~1600 calories per day diet; I'm not doing this alone, a trainer at the gym is making me a sample menu spanning 2 weeks, with 5 meals a day, more calories on gym days, less on off-days, and will also review my training sheet to increase the weight training I do. This is a long term adventure, according to him, I will loose around 1/2-3/4 pound a week OF FAT. so I might look a bit better by mid-summer, and will be ok by next christmas Max.

Good for you! It is easy to continue to be depressed, it feeds on itself. I'm glad whatever snapped you out did. :) What's a day of cleaning? Do you mean literally, cleaning your house? or is it some kind of detoxification? I assume it the first. That usually helps me reorganize myself, and makes me feel good when I'm done and things are back in their place. The others are right though. If you're seriously considering just vegatables and fruit, you should do some research to make sure you are eatting what your body needs. I imagine their is plenty pro and con vegan information out on the internet. Good Luck!

I've got both Blues Brothers films on DVD, getting a few more DVDs to bounce around to and make a fool of myself in private :-D Not that I have an aversion to making a fool of myself in publice (as many people will confirm), just not found a good place to go around here :(( Stuff to get: Aerosmith Eurythmics David Bowie Queen Greatest Hits I & II etc....

As I assume most people around here are engineers or similar. I can reccomend the "Hacker's Diet" or as the subtitle says "How to lose weight and hair through stress and poor nutrition". http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/[^] From the headline: "It treats dieting and weight control from an engineering and management standpoint". There is a pdf to download so no need to buy a copy either. James.

I'll join you, though my diet will consist of pizza, ice cream, beer, and chocolate. My doctor says I should gain some weight and get more cholesterol. I'd love to subsist on fruits and vegetables, but I was taught to follow the doctor's orders. Besides, I haven't found a bit of edible fruit here in the past ten years - nectarines aren't supposed to have the taste and texture of balsa wood, and grapes should not be hard and sour. I'd recommend adding an exercise routine to your plan, though. It needn't be strenuous, but it should involve moving around. Take a walk (I walk two miles a day, to the bar and back), ride a bike, climb a hill just to see what the view is like from the top. It will actually increase your energy, hard as that may be to believe, to get out and work at something physical! Since I started exercising regularly I've had triple the energy I used to have, despite the fact that my weight has gone up by 7% - the distribution of mass has changed quite a bit, too! :-D "Please don't put cigarette butts in the urinal.

I'll second that, and it's not as hard as most people seem to think. You don't need to go to the gym three times a week, rather just walk instead of driving to your local corner shop for that pint of milk and a paper, or even walk to the McDonalds during your lunch break rather than gettig a lift with your coworkers. The little things all add up (and take what you don't want away). Exercise does not necessarily mean fitness building! That said, if your daily diet does not consit of fresh fruit and/or green vegetables (canned or frozen doesn't count) then you probably should go on a specialist diet, even if that simply means what you currently eat plus two apples and a corgette each day. (Apples are very important - the gas they produce cleans out your innards.) If you think eating green vegatables means taking a eating a bowl of lettuce, then try making yourself a spicey fresh vegetable stir fry with nice juicy chicken breast fillets. Yummy! You'll also find you sweat less kitchen grease each day. ;)

So... David... What's your take on the Atkins Diet[^]? ---
Not one of them, IMO, should be called beer. Maybe malt flavored mineral water. - Jörgen Sigvardsson on Bud, Coors and Miller
The Atkins Diet has had a lot of good press over here recently, with the aid of an unfortnately BBC reality style "Diet Trial" series (though I suppose if it helps people it's okay). I, personally, speaking as the previously dangerously underweight individual that I am, would never go in for a diet that required me to cut out a specific group, as I want to eat what I like to eat (which is pretty much anything but pizza and chips, or 'fries' as you call them), and what I do eat is not especially harmful in the quantities I do so with. Since I started my new job and so started eating a much larger midday lunch than previously, I have put on over a stone in weight! That brings me up roughly to my recomended body mass for a person of my statistics, but even so that much of an increase in basically a month has scared me a little as I do eat and have always eaten a well balanced diet. If it increases much more that it has then I will have to take actions to counter it lest I step even by one ounce above a "moderately normal" weight. I'm not fat by any means, in fact I am still quite thin, but I am still hoping it will balance itself out with my lifestyle because, to cut to the chase, I quite like to be able to see my own dick without the aid of a pocket mirror. :~ ;P

I'll help balance the cosmos by having extra red meat and hoisting a few more than I usually do. :) Seriously thought, I suggest you take up a sport in addition to dieting. Swimming, running, weight lifting, or martial arts are all great ways to boost your mood and get rid of stress.

Good luck, man! I'm going to do reporting here every weekend to keep me motivated and to keep extremely positive about the situation [we are not fat and Americans are nowhere near Baghdad press!]. :-D El Tomaz

Now why do I like your diet more then mine? Brings me back to my carnivore days, when I refused all fruit and vegetables for moral and ethical reasons... Tomaz
