Update on my diet + intermittent fasting
#11
I haven't had much luck with the restriction-of-carbs and/or calories dieting method.

I lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time when I switched to a raw diet for a week (easier than you think). The premise of this diet is that the artificial chemicals in processed foods are addictive, and because we out-eat our body's ability to expel the chemicals, it stores the excesses in our tissues. When we try to loose the fat, chemicals re-enter our body, make us feel crap and so, in order to get respite, we reach for *drumroll* more addictive feel-good food. Thus the idea here is that by only eating raw foods (meat may have to take a back seat for a while), you don't get that crap-hunger-carb feeling because your body is able to deal with the chemicals at a reasonable rate.

Whether there's any science to that I don't know, I managed to loose 4lbs in a week and felt completely full the whole time. I was even eating things like raw nuts and avacado.
