Another way to lose weight

JakeT. · Jun 4, 2009

I stopped drinking beer for the last 4 days. No exercise cause I've been busy with work but I've dropped 5 pounds.

I think my metabolism is used to 1500 beer calories a night before bed.

So yeah, that's the Jake T. dieting plan. Don't drink 15 beers a night.

The more you know...

Basically dude, beer packs on the LBS. for me big time.

Football season basically ruins me because of all the tailgating and my boys asking to go out for sunday night and monday night football.

Beer stops the body's ability to burn fat, so after you start drinking and get those beer munchies (which I always do) everything you eat is sticking with you.

This is not an option for me.

I've known people who just cut out soda alone and lose weight. Drinks pack on so many extra calories. Drink more water.

Can't stress enough how bad soda is for you. It's just empty calories and it rots your damn teeth. Pick up the water bottle.

In mid February I broke a 30+ year steady addiction to full strength cola drinks (Coke and DrPepper) where I averaged pretty much about a gallon a day (10 cans)

Still drink about four to five cans of Coca Cola per WEEK now...with pizza usually.

But otherwise, diet Sprite, 7-Up or Sierra Mist only.

Dropped about 12 lbs within first six weeks and have maintained that with no problem (about 190# now)

Maintaining the energy level with two caffeine pills in morning and low doses of ephedrine a few times a day, plus 0cal/0carb energy drinks.

Side Benefit also when I do drink that one bottle or can of Coca Cola I actually feel the caffeine boost - something that rarely happened in past due to my high tolerance

Barman, mix your Ephedrine with Aspirin & Caffeine. Like an ECA stack.

Soda of any kind is horrible for you.

Thanks Samhain...I did read the recent thread discussion about ECA stacks.

I drink so much water (upwards of a gallon a day) with my outside lawn/garden work that I've never in 5+ years of using ephedrine felt any undue stress on blood pressure. (I have a BP check every couple months and maintain a very boring 120/80)

Thanks for the feedback
