    Default Weird diet idea - actually working! Hmmm.

    I went to my local, uh, GNC (for you Americans) and started looking at diet pills. There was a supplement they mentioned to take with CLA (which is $60 a bottle here, wtf?) and it was expensive!! $120 a bottle and it lasts a month. Hell no. I checked the ingredients and it was basically caffeine and grean tea supplements. So I decided, fuck that! I'll take caffeine and down it in an entire 300mls of green tea!

    So I did. Every single morning now for two weeks I've had a caffeine tablet and a large glass of green tea. Every meal I've had a caplet of CLA.

    The weight is just dropping - exactly where I want it. In the last two weeks I went from 60kg (132 pounds) to 51kg (112 lbs). And now I'm teetering just barely on a good 50kg (my goal weight) Which of course is a loss of 10 lbs a week! I have definitely lost off my legs, which was my main goal, as I have some thiiiick thighs and I (purposefully, using a high-carb energy routine instead of high-protein) lost muscle on my arms, making them appear thinner. True, I've lost a bit of strength, but I've gained HEAPS of stamina. And the bonus - my boobs have stayed the same size, YAY! I love my boobies now - Yekhefah will be happy - no implants for me!

    So, lots of pasta, some cycling, toning (which is what I was already doing for a few weeks) coupled with my green tea and caffeine and CLA really worked! Plus as opposed to $120 a month in pills, I'm spending like $20 a week in caffeine (100mg) and tea bags.

    I really really just wish I had taken before pictures of my thighs! Gaaah. I still have my booty but now my thighs have a gap in between them at the crotch! WOOOO~!!

    Just 100mg a day - basically the same as an overfull cup of coffee.

    Small edit: I don't find it makes me tired either, since I'm supplementing it with a high-carb diet but working out an extra twenty-thirty minutes a day. It actually boosts me to the point I need and then I ride the carbs for the rest of the day so I'm full of energy and happy.

    Damn! Now I want to try that! Although 10 pounds a week isn't fat burn, it's mostly water weight, but that makes sense since caffeine is a diuretic. Unfortunately with the green tea I would lose it the wrong way, as green tea makes me yak up everything I eat. But damn, go you!

    And yes, I am very happy to hear you decided against the titanium titties!

    Fuck implants! I don't need them. My tits aren't large - and they aren't small. But they sit perfectly on my chest and are a very nice shape - I don't wanna lose that! I look just fine the way I am!! *confidence, woo*

    Yes, a lot of it is probably water weight, but it appears to be keeping off, which was a big thing for me, plus I am obviously losing fat and muscle (which was my intention as my muscle was SO thick, I looked fat! ). Plus caffeine is not only a diuretic, it's a appetite suppressant, so eating it first thing in the morning severely cut back on my mid-day snacking, which helped a lot.

    Yes, be prepared to pee a LOT when taking it first thing. a buttload of tea and a caffeine tablet make for toilet times. It'll be good if your partner likes water sports though!

    Thank you for sharing this!! Congrats on your reaching your goal! I think I might give this a shot. May I ask if you take a certain brand of CLA? I am checking it on on drugstore.come right now and there are a crap load of brands to choose from. Thanks!

    I have my CLA imported from America. It's Tonalin brand. I buy it off allnaturalfoods on ebay.

    Wow! That sounds great.

    Just wondering what sort of caffeine tablets you are taking and where you buy them from? Also, when you say you are eating a high-carb diet, what kinds of things are you eating and how much for each meal?

    I really, really want to try this now!

    You're in Australia, so you can get them. I'm taking No-Doz (regular) from the pharmacy.

    I'm eating things like heaps of organic rice, vegetables, fruits, pasta. I eat two meals a day and they're fairly large, with an assortment of foods (I hate having one food as a meal, it bugs me!). Usually it's rice with prawns with a side of baked potato and milk with chocolate fruit (black sapote) in it. Or yesterday it was a massive garden salad with potatoes in it on top of brown rice and beans. I'd say each meal is actually 1000 calories or more! I just burn it off with the energy I get from that caffeine each morning! WOOOO.

    My goal when I started dieting 6 weeks ago was to change my entire body type from curvy and muscular to lean and thin, and so far, I've gotten exactly what I wanted!

    Yay! Well done babe.

    *Runs to the pharmacy to get supplies of No-Doz*
    I occasionally take No-Doz now anyway when I have uni exams so I am definitely going to get onto the No-Doz and green tea, special 'Lysondra' diet theory!

    I think my body type is similar to you as well as my goal weight is 50kg too but I usually hover around 54-55kg.

    I'll keep posted if it works for me too.

    Yup that's what I tend to hover around as well.

    I only started this diet theory because that stupid bottle of supplements was too expensive and only had green tea and caffeine in it! PFT! It's just cheaper this way. haha.

    I might try that for the weight I've gained lately. I only have a couple of kilos to shed, but they're being damned stubborn and they're mostly in my thighs, which I dislike.

    Thank you!

    I'm very confused....I didn't think CLA had caffeine in it.

    As long as you do not drink alcohol with the No Doz you should be fine.

    i've always wondered if caffiene pills were safe. i guess it's the same stuff they put in diet pills??...i've always wondered, cuz really all diet pills are good for are the green tea, and caffiene anyway...so KUDOS to you! why the hell didn't i think of that.
    i wonder if taking a green tea tablet(s) would work just as well as drinking it too?

    That's awesome Lysondra! I have always found when I couple my Tonalin with some form of a thermogenic (caffine/diet/metabolism) pill I get really fast and dramatic results.

    I don't think it's unsafe as long as you take care of yourself, which you are obviously doing. Eating well, don't take in more caffine than that and stay hydrated.

    So congrats on the rocking body woman!

    I concur. Is that mostly water weight, or is there a bit of muscle degeneration in there too? I too could probably benefit from shifting a couple of kgs, but I don't want to compromise my muscle mass either.

    Great work on the weight loss though, and thanks for sharing

    STOP DOING THIS RIGHT NOW! HOLY FUCK

    first of all that is a frightening amount of weight to loose so fast...

    think about it, how do you think this diet works? You know how when you go to work out, you burn calories because your heart rate is elavated... yeah... this shit is making your heart rate go out of control, hence burn calories.... so... basically, you would get the effect you get now if you did a fuck ton of coke... also caffience clams your appetite.

    You do what you want to do, but this shit is REALLY harming your body and could give you a heart attack.

    Calm down, that's not very much caffeine, y'all. That's less than I get in a cup and I have way more than one every day. This may not be effective long-term but it's hardly dangerous.
