Trey Time 186 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Does anyone remember the "Jungle Diet" that the Magic players were talking about Brandon Bass being on? They talked to Bass, JJ, and Dwight about it. Bass was the only one doing it, Dwight said he couldn't do it and JJ was talking about some juicer he and his wife got. Well anyways, the gist of it is juice and berries, and I figured why not try it. If it works great, if not it's a funny story. So I started on Saturday and just now (4am Monday morning, insomnia) I stepped on the scale and I've dropped SIX pounds. Thank you Mr. Bass! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a personal trainer who's been involved with fitness and nutrition for 15 years. There's a ton of diet "fads" over the years. Tread carefully. Does the diet give you enough protein? What about calcium? If your just eating fruits and berries you are going down a road that you don't want to go. Be very careful of diets that athletes and movie stars do. Their goals will never be your goals because of what they do. Six lbs is great but really fast for in that small amount of time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COLOMBIANO 118 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Not an expert at this subject, but I bet you that as soon as you go back to your regular meals, you'll gain those pounds back in no time. Best diet is to exercise, eat smarter, eat less and more often and avoid deep fried foods. It's worked for me and I haven't starved one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Don't hate I'm not. But I believe your weight fluctuates daily. Also, assuming you're on an all liquid diet, you're probably pissing alot. You might have lost alot of water weight. But I don't claim to be a nutritionist and am probably wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drain-O 369 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 So instead of eating stuff that is bad for you you replace it with things that are good for you. Then use lose weight. This Brandon Bass fella is a freaking genius. No wonder he takes such good shots within the flow of the offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Do whatever you want, if you get sick and die (which you won't, since your body is smarter than you are) you'll know it was a bad choice. Chances are, if you're willing to truly give this "diet" a go, you'll be over it and back to your typical lifestyle in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
