    I am following a diet called Body trim:

     

    1. Detox - eat only protein for three days, drink 2 to 3 litres of water a day, and walk for 30 minutes (2 x 15 minutes or 3 x 10 minutes is fine.)

    2. Weight Loss - After the detox three days begin this section:
    (1 protein serving is no more than 100 grams. Protein snack is between 50 and 100 grams) Unlimited Vegetables and Salads include: Alfalfa sprouts, Artichoke, Asparagus, Beans, Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, Cabbage, Celery, Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Leek, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Onions, Peppers, Salad veggies, Spinach, Squash, Tomato, Zucchini.}
    Eat six times a day as follows:
    Breakfast :1 protein and 1 fruit/starch
    Protein snack 50 grams
    Lunch: 1 protein serving plus unlimited salad or vegetables
    Protein snack 50 grams
    Dinner: 1 protein serving plus unlimited salda or vegetables
    Protein snack 50 grams

    Continue the 30 minute a day walking and the 2- 3 litres of water a day.

    3. Weight Maintenance
    This is similar to the Weight Loss section with a few additions/changes
    Breakfast 100 -150 grams protein plus 1-2 fruit or 1-2 starch
    Protein snack 50 m- 100 grams
    Lunch 100 - 150 grams protein plus unlimited salad/vegetables and/or 1-2 starch plus 1-2 fruit
    Protein snack 50 - 100 grams
    Dinner as for lunch without starch or fruit
    Protein snack 50 - 100 grams


     

     

    I am in phase 2 and although it is going great and im not having trouble sticking to it I find myself staying in so I don't break my diet. My idea of "fun" is eating- going to breakfast, lunch, dinner... food, food, food. 

     

    What are some fun things I can start doing on weekends that don't include stuffing my face?

    hmm, I know how feels to be restricted by following a diet. It does become easier to stay in, and think about nothing but food. What hobbies do you have? Do you like crafts? I find sewing or drawing keeps my hands busy and stops my thinking about food.

    Also look into snacks you can take with you when you go out, and eat on the go. Lots of cafes will alter meals to suit your needs too.

    Wow, that sure is alot of protein for one day! Even friends that are bodybuilders don't eat that much protein. What they do is take their meals with them wherever they go; I know it sounds odd but it helps them stay on track.

    Ugh that sounds like a tedious diet.

    What about bowling? Or if you go to the movies bring your own snack, like carrots in a baggie maybe. How about hiking? Go see a museum. Take a class (bonsai care popped into my head for some reason, lol).

    Yikes that does sound like a tough diet to follow.  I do know what you mean about it restricting your social life.  What I've done in the past is just eat before I go out and maybe just have 1 drink while I'm out with friends.  Or go on the restaurant website and find something I can fit into the diet.  Or like PPs said, arrange to meet friends somewhere else!  Have people over for a girls night/poker night/movie night and you supply (and control) the snacks!

    Well whatever works for you of course. I recently lost 60 lbs. and people keep asking me what diet or pills I took and I just tell them "eat less, exercise more". There is no way I could survive on a diet like the one you described.

    That being said - check out museums, check out the living section of the paper for events that do not center around food, go hiking, write a letter to a friend, read a book, or volunteer at an animal shelter. SEX is a great tension reliever as well! LOL

    I say tell your friends about your diet - I have two good friends (they're dating) who were on a huge detox diet. Since they told their friends (more as a heads up as to why they may not be at food get togethers), we found other ways to hang out. Its also been handy riding on that as I have some health issues right now and eating... well, it's not so fun. I've had friends come over and drink tea, plus play games. Apples to Apples is one of my fave games of all time.
