tinfoilchef.com I found a recipe for salmon patty burgers that I’m going to be trying (and changing to suit me of course) today, if it turns out as good as it sounds I’ll be doing a video on how to make it soon. I’m also working on a new episode of “Points of View” that will be going up on my “Iamnotahamster” channel either tonight or tomorrow. Why is it that most people vlogging about weight loss are women and most (not all) of the guys doing videos about it are actually just selling something? The main thing I’m talking about today is those seeming miracle weight loss plans like one called “fatloss4idiots”. In my opinion this plan and plans like it are designed mainly to separate idiots from their money. In exchange for a purchase price and a “continuity program” (translate that $30, $40 or more per month) you get access to a meal plan generator. You pick a certain number of foods from a list of 40 or so items and it generates a plan based on those choices. You’re allowed to eat as much as you want but only from those foods. Then after 9 to 11 or so days of this you get three or four days off from the plan during which you can eat as much of anything you want. It typically promises that you’ll lose 9 or 11 pounds in like a week and a half or so. The problem is that because of how it’s made you’ll lose the weight alright… over and over and over again. The food list is low glycemic index foods, which basically puts you on a low carb type diet [NOTE: There's nothing wrong with low carb diets in and of themselves]. During the first two weeks or so of such a diet you’ll lose 10 to 15 pounds… of water weight. Then when you’re on the three or four days off you gain it right back again. In my opinion, this is NOT a realistic way to lose weight. The basic rule of losing weight is to burn more calories than you eat. End of story. The way you KEEP that weight off is to change your lifestyle and eating habits so that your eating and exercise level is enough to maintain your desired weight without gaining.
