if you do a low to no carb diet, they do work and you do not have to get sick.

you eat plenty of meats, you need fat in this diet because you no longer have carbs to burn.

do not cut ALL carbs, cut breads rice noodles potatoes etc... but you can still eat cheese (some cheeses have higher carbs than others but almost every one is still pretty damned low carb) you can also eat veggies, pretty much all of them, even though some are loaded with carbs, these are good carbs, they are slow carbs, you need to cut the fast carbs not the slow ones.

when dieting this way i can drop a lot of weight fast and have. the routine of eating got very monotonous for me at some points, but i would normally eat 2-3 eggs in the morning with some sausage or bacon. lunch daily was usually a decent sized salad with some sort of shredded chicken in it, sometimes i would use one of the single serve starkist tuna pouches instead, they come in different flavors i liked the hickory smoked one a lot. i would normally put about 2 servings of ranch on the salad, even though there were carbs in that it does not add up to a lot overall. then dinner time would come and i would usually have a steak or chicken wings/thighs a lot of times the chicken would be a bbq type chicken which also has carbs but again does not add up to a lot just using some sauce. a side salad with some chopped boiled eggs and crumbled bacon on it.

i would switch some of the stuff up here and there and look for low carb recipes just for a change now and then but that was my normal routine, i would add in flax seed and or sunflower seeds for fiber intake which is SUPER important. once in a while breakfast would be a bowl of fiber one cereal if i felt i wasnt 'regular' enough.

but doing this in this fashion i lost over 75lbs in about 6 months.

be warned though this diet only works if you dont go back to eating the way you were, you can eventually add carbs back in and try to maintain a normal diet but if one day you just go back to carboloading the fat will just pile right back on.

Im on the eat anything i want diet

I eat whatever I want, whatever I want just happens to be healthy.

That's what I'm on it feel gud

Chicken breast, brown rice, steamed veggies.
Change your protein and veggies around to keep it semi exciting. Stick to this and you will lose weight. I have dropped 30 pounds in a month with just this diet and cardio. Keep your Kcals in around a -500 deficit and you will drop weight fast.
If you are also going to the gym add in high protein snacks, such as hard boiled eggs, nuts, etc etc. Along with your protein shakes throughout the day, a good multi vitamin each morning. I use orange triad. I also mix in a greens mix into my first protein shake I take 2 hours after my breakfast. For breakfast I will do oats and 4-5 eggs, plus some fruit. Eat small meals multiple times a day.
My day consists of this to keep my metabolism going, Wake up eat breakfast, 2 hours later I have my morning protein shake, 2 hours later is lunch, then 2 hours after that my afternoon protein shake, then I eat a snack 2 hours after that. Go to the gym have my pre workout drink and have another protein shake when I get out. Eat dinner 2-4 hours after that. Then if you need some more protein have some casein protein before bed. Through out the day add in about a bottle of water every hour or so to also boost metabolism.

Kay Ive been eating too much protein.....

But what about these huge freaks eating like a carton of eggs a day + much more....

I looked it up and average person eat like 0.3 g of protein per lb of body fat. So 50 grams of protein I should be eating only??? I'm a twig now and if I only ate 50 g of protein I'd be a toothpick

it depends how active you are, generally it's 0.5 per pound of body weight to maintain muscle mass but you would need more if you were say going to the gym

I don't lift often atm but I still have a job that's still labour, but easier than any job I've ever had but I still lift things that are heavy, it's just not fast paced.

But I eat more than 50 grams of protein in a meal.
