Doomed
I am a fat git. There's no denying it, my shirts don't fit, I have to unbutton my trousers in the afternoon just so I can sit comfortably.

So a week ago, I decided that, as I used to go twice a week (some 12 years ago) that squash would be the answer to not buying new clothes.

Sadly, after reading these posts about how people have gone for 2 years etc... and have even PUT ON weight, I'm starting to have second thoughts.

Especially as the first game last Tuesday nearly bloody killed me, and I can only just walk again now.

It seems we've been lied to - exercise is NOT good for you.

Weght gain
Muscle does weigh more than fat... Any gym goer will tell you that you lose inches* as opposed to lbs.

*from the right places, obviously.

ahh
fair play!

I'm still going to go again tonight regardless - it's the only sport I've ever found that I actually enjoy.

I suppose it's too fast to get bored!

the problem is hiding yourself away for 7 days so you can do it

Sacred Heart?
Is this a Scrubs prescribed diet?

it will work
temporarily.

All you are doing is burning your body's glycogen store.

It's a standard no-carb / atkins diet. The first 10 pounds drop off like nobodies business, but as soon as you re-introduce carbs - the body stores it back and the weight re-appears.

The diet will work, but only if you keep it up for a number of weeks.
