It is possible to lose 30 pounds in 30 days?
Absolutely.
Not only is it possible, but it’s an AMAZING accomplishment!
Have you seen what 30 pounds of fat looks like?
It’s insane!
Lose 30 pounds of fat and you’ll look like a completely different person.
I have a lot of experience with losing fat and have learned many new things.
That’s why I decided to share how to lose 30 pounds in 30 days with you.
Before we begin, I want you to keep something in mind…
It’s only 30 days.
Not 3 months, 6 months, or a year.
30 days!
So commit yourself, take it seriously and get it done!
If you need FASTER results than 30 days, download my book Demon Diet so you can lose maximum fat as quickly as possible.
1) Intermittent Fasting
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard someone talk about it.
Intermittent fasting is making a lot of noise in the fitness community.
In layman’s terms, you give your body more time to use your stored fat as energy by going longer periods without eating.
You don’t eat less with I.F. (Intermittent Fasting).
Instead, you fit all your food for the day into a specific eating window.
The most popular form of I.F. is a 16 hour fast and an 8 hour eating window.
An example of a daily eating schedule would look like this:
11am – 7pm (Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
7pm – 11am (Fast. No food. Only water, black coffee, or tea without calories)
As you noticed above, a lot of the fasting time is included in your sleep.
This make things a lot easier.
All you really do is push your breakfast up a couple of hours.
I.F. works very well.
If you’re serious about losing 30 pounds in 30 days, you MUST make this part of your diet plan.
2) Coffee
Coffee is your best friend during a diet.
It speeds up your metabolism (not a lot but every little bit helps) and curbs your appetite.
It also provides you energy which people tend to lack when losing weight.
This is due to eating less calories.
It’s best to drink it black.
Drinking black coffee is an acquired taste.
But once you get used to it, you’ll always prefer it over cream and sugar.
A cup of black coffee has less than 5 calories.
When you have it in the morning, waiting until 11am to eat your first meal becomes easy.
Especially if you drink plenty of water.
When attempting to lose 30 pounds in 30 days, coffee plays a vital role in your success.
It’s not to say that you can’t succeed without it.
But it does make things a lot easier.
I strongly recommend drinking Deathwish Coffee from Amazon.
It’s a little pricier than basic coffee, but it tastes AMAZING and gives you double the energy.
3) Water
If you can’t get yourself to drink water, you’re simply not serious about the 30 pounds.
You should be drinking one gallon per day minimum.
Don’t tell me it’s too much.
It really isn’t.
As long as you start drinking it the moment you wake-up and take gulps throughout the day, you’ll barely notice it.
However, you will be going to the bathroom a lot more than usual which is a good thing.
Your urine should either be a light yellow or clear color.
If it isn’t, guess what?
You’re dehydrated!
I can’t begin to explain the importance of being hydrated when losing weight.
Dehydration slows down your metabolism, makes your body think it’s hungry, and makes you tired.
You simply can’t afford to be dehydrated when trying to lose 30 pounds in 30 days.
So don’t.
4) Sleep
You have to sleep 7-8 hours minimum.
While 7 hours is acceptable, 8 is a lot better.
It doesn’t matter what you have to sacrifice.
Do it.
If you really want those 30 pounds to come off, you need to make this a priority.
Lack of sleep negatively affects your hormones.
It makes dieting difficult by increasing your appetite.
This happens because it lowers leptin (an appetite suppressing hormone) levels in your body.
When trying to lose weight, an increase in appetite is the LAST thing you want.
Do whatever necessary to get those 8 hours.
5) Get a quality fat burner
A fat burner is magic in a bottle.
It completely curbs your appetite and provides additional energy for longer workouts.
Coffee is great, but a fat burner can really make things easier.
I recommend C4 ripped (Get it on Amazon) because it not only works as a fat burner, but also give you amazing energy before workouts and curbs your appetite.
If you have a cup of black coffee in the morning and a fat burner a couple hours later, you’ll easily go hours without eating.
Just know that your energy will be intense in case you work in an office. (Ha-ha)
6) Wear a weighted vest
Ever wonder why heavier people lose weight faster?
It’s because the more you weigh, the more energy your body requires to do anything.
It’s science.
Does this mean you should gain weight so you can lose it faster?
Of course not.
Instead, get a weighted vest and wear it as often as possible – especially during exercise.
Can you imagine how much FASTER your fat will melt off you if you instantly add up to 140 pounds to your body with a weighted vest?
7) Fast one day per week
This is more mental than anything.
Fasting a whole day (no food) is madness to some people.
“How can I go a day without eating? I’ll starve!”
No.
You won’t.
If you’re trying to lose 30 pounds in 30 days, trust me that your body has plenty of energy (fat).
People go days without eating all the time.
Have you ever heard of anyone who died or got incredibly sick because they didn’t eat for a day?
Of course not.
Fasting once a week will put you at a HUGE calorie deficit.
You also maximize HGH in the body when you don’t eat anything for 24 hours.
High levels of HGH (Human growth hormone) help torch fat off your body.
A day of fasting gives your digestive system a break.
When you digest food, it puts a lot of stress on the body.
The process requires a lot of blood.
This is why you feel tired and lazy after a big meal.
Fasting is practiced in countries all over the world for its benefits on the human body.
You can drink all the water, black coffee, and calorie free tea that you want on these days.
It’s incredibly easy to go without food when you’ve made the decision not to eat.
Do your best to keep busy these days to keep your mind off eating.
Again, it’s more mental than anything.
I’m sure you’ve gone days where you haven’t eaten for whatever reason.
Maybe you were sick, sad, or simply not hungry.
You survived, didn’t you?
Pick a specific day out of the week when you’ll be fasting.
I recommend the day after your cheat meal (discussed in #18 below) because your leptin levels will be at their highest which makes going without food a lot easier.
8) Walk one hour morning
Get up an hour earlier and go for an hour walk.
This small exercise will target your fat stores since you wake-up in a fasted state.
You’ll also give your metabolism a kick-start for the day.
I recommend listening to an audio-book as you walk so that you get smarter and healthier simultaneously.
Walking one hour daily for 30 days really adds up and will make a huge impact on your weight-loss.
I’m not telling you to jog or run.
Just walk.
Do it.
9) High fat
I don’t know why people fear eating fat.
Actually, I do know.
It’s the food industry’s fault.
The whole marketing concept of “fat-free” boost product sales.
The reality is that your body needs fat.
Healthy fat.
It keeps your hormones working efficiently and helps you achieve satiety (feeling full).
Without fat, you’ll feel like you’re starving.
As long as you don’t go over your calories, eating fat will not affect your weight-loss.
It’ll only help you.
The best fats are olive oil, avocados, nuts, almond butter, and coconut oil.
10) 20 jumping jacks every hour
Seems insignificant right?
Well, do the math.
Let’s say on average you’re awake 16 hours out of the day.
That’s 20 jumping jacks multiplied by 16.
This gives you a total of 320 per day.
Multiply 320 by 30 days and you get 9,600 jumping jacks!
Trust me when I tell you that this will make a HUGE difference in your weight-loss.
Small and consistent things add up very quickly.
11) 10 push-ups every hour
This follows the same concept as above.
Doing the same math, you’ll find that you’ll complete 4,800 push-ups in a month.
If you’re new to push-ups and have trouble doing 10, don’t worry.
Just get down and do as many as possible.
Even if you can only do one, you’ll noticed that you get a little stronger every day.
For both examples, if you can’t perform the exercise every hour for whatever reason, just keep a log and make sure you complete the total required for each day.
You should have 320 jumping jacks and 160 push-ups completes daily.
It doesn’t matter whether you spread them out throughout the day or do them all in one sitting.
What matters is that you do them!
12) Multiply ideal weight by 10
You must eat a specific amount of calories to achieve your ideal weight.
If you weigh 200 lbs. and want to lose 30 lbs., this means your goal is 170 lbs.
In order to determine how many calories you’ll need to eat to reach that weight, multiply 170 by 10.
This gives you 1700.
You now know that eating 1700 calories per day will get you to your ideal weight.
The good news is that when you do I.F. and have less time to eat, you get to enjoy bigger and more satisfying meals.
As a result, 1700 can feel like a TON of food.
This makes dieting feel effortless.
You must stay at this calorie range during the entire 30 days.
No cheat days are allowed but a cheat meal is important. (More on this later)
13) Protein
Protein has great weight loss benefits.
Its thermogenic effect is higher than fats or carbohydrates.
Your body uses 25% of the protein calories you eat just digesting your meal.
So if you eat 50 grams of protein which is 200 calories (protein = 4 cal. per gram), 50 of those calories don’t count.
Amazing.
This is the reason why people tend to feel hot when eating a lot of protein.
Not only does it burn more calories, but it does a great job at keeping you full.
14) Spices
Spices help give your food flavor.
Many of them have a decrease in appetite side-effect and speed of your metabolism.
Again, it’s not a HUGE amount.
However, the goal during these 30 days is to combine as many small things as possible in order to have a HUGE impact.
Hot sauce works great since it has no calories and is incredibly spicy.
One of my favorite diet meals is a can of tuna mixed with onions, hot sauce, and mustard.
I can go HOURS without food after that meal.
Try it.
Spices are typically calorie free so don’t be scared to use them.
I highly recommend Cinnamon because it improves insulin sensitivity.
Very important when losing weight.
15) Fiber
Fiber keeps you feeling full and “regular”.
Get plenty of green veggies or sneak a Fiber one bar into your calories every day.
A tall glass of water and a snack high in fiber will instantly curbs your appetite.
Especially if you drink the water cold.
I guarantee it.
16) Eat slowly
The brain takes 20 minutes to activate the feeling of fullness.
I use to have the issue of eating incredibly fast.
Seriously, I was like a vacuum cleaner.
As a result, I’d always feel hungry after finishing my plate.
This caused me to overeat even though I was already full.
I just didn’t know it yet.
I learned to chew my food more and slower.
Not act as if I were in an eating race.
17) Jump rope
Hands down, this is the absolute best fat burning exercise there is.
I know it looks pointless.
But trust me, my friend, jump rope will have weight melting off your body as incredible rates.
Read my article 3 Ridiculous Easy Ways I Torch Fat Off My Body.
If you’ve never jumped rope, it can be a little frustrating at the beginning.
However, if you’re consistent, you’ll quickly get the technique down.
Pick a time in the day to perform 30 rounds of one minute.
Rest one minute in between each round.
If you find that you’re tripping on the rope often, try jumping without it.
Perform the same movement of jumping every time you turn your wrist.
Perform this exercise 5 days out of the week.
Unlike walking, this takes a huge toll of your body and you need to give yourself adequate rest so your muscles recover.
Don’t skip this step!
I use and recommend The Boxing Training Jump Rope because it’s the one the pros use.
It’s also cheap and works better than to the other expensive options.
18) Cheat meal once per week
This is tricky and can be done wrong if you’re not careful.
The right way is to have a meal ONCE per week that puts you 500 calories over your daily limit.
So if you usually have 1700, you’ll eat a total of 2200 that day.
This helps reset leptin levels and keeps you melting fat fast.
Leptin levels tend to drop after a week of dieting.
In order to reset and have them at their highest, a cheat meal is necessary.
Again, be very cautions.
You can easily turn 500 calories into 1,000 if you’re not careful.
19) Bigger meal at night
A lot of people tend to get hungry late at night.
I’m one of them.
The goal here is to leave your biggest meal for last.
This provides a huge window of feeling full up until bedtime.
If you’re eating 1700 calories, try to eat 700-800 during the day and save 900-1000 calories for dinner.
This small trick works wonders!
Again, coffee and fat burners work great to get you through the day in case you typically get hungry.
20) Don’t starve yourself
You must eat a minimum number of calories for your desired weight.
Many people go on crazy crash diets which ultimately forces them to quit and binge eat.
Your body needs calories for all its daily processes.
And while fasting one day per week is perfectly healthy; under eating for many days or weeks is NOT.
21) Avoid artificial sugars
I’m not telling you to avoid them for health reasons.
I’m telling you to avoid them because they make you EXTREMELY hungry.
When you give your body “fake sugar”, it spends the whole day looking for it.
Your brain tasted something sweet earlier that it didn’t digest.
As a result, it searches for that sugar until it finds it.
Consequently, you get hungry.
This happens most often to people who drink a lot of diet drinks.
Ever heard how there are people who drink diet coke and are heavier than those who drink regular coke?
It’s true.
22) Fit favorite food into calories
We all have a favorite food.
Mine is pizza.
Yours might be macaroni and cheese.
Regardless of what it is, you can safely fit it into your calories.
Sure, you can’t eat an entire pizza, but you can certainly get away with eating two slices.
Again, be careful here.
People who prepare your food at restaurants don’t really measure the exact ingredients they use.
While their nutrition section may claim a slice of pizza is only 250 calories, it may actually be 350.
Maybe they used a little extra sauce, cheese, or other topping.
It’s best to cook your own favorite foods so you know EXACTLY what’s going into them.
23) No processed food
While it is 100% possible to lose weight eating processed food, it is not ideal during these 30 days.
Processed food makes you lethargic and lacks nutrition.
The goal during these 30 days is to MAXIMIZE energy and feel full in order to make the process easy.
If you must have fast food, only have it for your cheat meal.
Once per week isn’t going to hurt you.
But once per day will.
24) Eggs
Eggs are the perfect food.
They have fats and protein.
As you saw me mention above, both are very important nutrients when dieting.
Eating two boiled eggs with hot sauce, 2 oz. of avocado, and drinking a glass of water is a great snack.
Not only is it low in calories, but it gives you instant energy and fills you up.
Total calories = 240.
Try to have eggs in at least one of your daily meals or as a snack.
25) Brush teeth after meals
This is great for people who love dessert.
If you have the habit of reaching for something sweet after meals, brush your teeth immediately.
The taste of freshness in your mouth will keep you from wanting to eat.
It also makes whatever you’re eating taste weird.
This small trick works wonders.
Give it a shot.
26) Give yourself time to feel full
Going back to #16, it takes your brain about 20 minutes to feel full.
Sometimes you’ll have a small meal that you can’t possibly take longer than 5 minutes to eat.
Fine.
Just allow yourself the time to achieve satiety.
Discipline yourself to let 20 minutes go by before eating more.
This can be difficult at the beginning.
Push through.
27) Food addiction is in the brain (not real)
You might think that you can’t do this and that you just need to eat.
It’s all in your mind.
You’re not going to die if you push through and don’t give into your feelings of hunger.
Most of the time, you’re not even hungry.
You simply have a habit of eating more.
It’s crazy how our mind works.
Just follow all the steps in this article and don’t give in to any temptations.
You’ll be fine.
28) Take Yohimbe supplements
This is one of the few products that actually works for fat-loss.
It makes your fat cells a lot more susceptible to burn fat.
Most fat burners include Yohimbe.
However, in case you decide not take a fat burner for whatever reason, this might be something you’ll want to consider.
Some people like to take additional Yohimbe on top of what their fat burner includes to get quicker and better results.
I recommend this one from Amazon.
29) Don’t eat out
Like I mentioned in #22, it’s best not to eat out to avoid eating more calories than you intend to.
Nothing is worse than eating more calories without trying to.
How much would it suck to think you’re eating a 400 calorie salad but in reality it’s 650 calories?
I know that preparing your own food can be a pain sometimes.
But push through and just do it.
If you really want to lose 30 pounds in 30 days, you’re going to have to make the sacrifices.
30) Make a commitment
This is the first place to start.
You must make a personal commitment that you’re going to stick through with this.
30 pounds in 30 days is very possible but only if you make a commitment to stick to the rules.
Things come up in life.
It’s very easy for someone to justify breaking their diet.
But a commitment helps prevent that.
Follow through and you’ll be incredibly satisfied with your results.
All the tips in this article feed off each other.
They must all be combined in order to get the best results in the most enjoyable way possible.

Alexander Writer says
Hi Ruthy,
I recommend you walk for an hour on fasting days. Thank you for the kind words. Best of luck!
Stephanie says
You are the first person to flat out say YES THIS IS FUCKING POSSIBLE!!!! BUT NO EXCUSES ALLOWED! I’m so grateful I found your article… You are amazing!!!!!! Thank you!
Alexander Writer says
You got this Stephanie!!!
Stephanie Glasel says
When you calculate your calorie intake, do you have to eat exact number of calories? For example: 1700 calories a day, or can it be up to 1700 calories a vday.
Thanks Stephanie
Alexander Writer says
1700. Anything less than that and you’ll be starving yourself. Its better to workout more than eat less than the 1700. Your body needs the calories and nutrition.
Kyra Lampe says
Hey Alex! I’m really excited to give this a try! I have been trying to meal plan for this and I’m not really sure where to begin. I know you give some suggestions on what to fill up on, but I was wondering if you could give me some meal ideas so that way I could have a guideline on what I should be eating? Thank you!
Alexander Writer says
Hi Kayra,
Absolutely! Tell me a little more about your goals and which foods you like and dislike so I can better assist. What do you struggle with most when dieting?
Kyra Lampe says
Alex,
I weigh around 200 pounds right now and ideally I would like to be around 160. I’m hoping to accomplish this as quickly and safely as possible. I’m getting ready to go off to college in a little over a month and I’m trying to get some weight off and develop healthier habits before leaving home. I tend to be a picky eater. I’m not a huge person on vegetables, especially leafy ones, but I try to eat them everyday andI like most fruits except bananas. I really enjoy meat and dairy products as well as grains. And while I do enjoy most fruits and some vegetables, most of what I like are not the best kinds to be eating. What I struggle most with when dieting is giving into my cravings and controlling my hunger. I have a really big sweet tooth and sometimes I can’t control myself. I’m hoping that with this diet, I will no longer have such a sweet tooth and I will begin to crave healthier foods. I really appreciate your help and I am excited to improve my health!
Alexander Writer says
Hi Kyra,
I know this comes across as self-promotion, but from your situation, I think you’d get FANTASTIC results from my Demon Diet book. You mentioned that you really like meat and dairy products, therefore the Demon Diet will feel effortless for you. You also mentioned that you struggle with cravings and controlling your hunger. My book helps eliminates both of these issues. If you read the sales letter and decide that its for you, I’ll make myself available to you by email to guide you along the way. Read the Demon Diet sales letter here. You can also read this great review by a recent buyer who experienced amazing fat loss with the Demon Diet.
Jessica Capers says
Hello! I 155 pounds and my goal weight is 120. I was just wondering how well this program will work for me.
Alexander Writer says
Hi Jessica,
It will work AMAZINGLY WELL if you follow through with it.
Tami Brightman says
If you have bad knees / knee replacement can you substitute something else for the jump robe?
Kyra Lampe says
Hi Alex!
I bought your book a few weeks ago and it still has not come in. I’m not sure if it was sent and we never received it or something else happened. I was just wondering if we could be refunded or have a new copy sent to us.
Alexander Writer says
Hi Kyra,
All buyers receive the book immediately after their payment. The book was sent to the email you provided during your purchase – K*******89@gmail.com. I just sent it to you again. If you need it sent to a different email, send me an email to Inertiawillhurtya@gmail.com.
Tracy G says
Hi Alex,
I started this today and I am very tired and light headed. Is this normal? I am not sure I have the energy to do the 30 reps of jump rope. Also I am 5’1 and 140 I would like to be 110 but is an 1100 calorie intake diet too drastic?
thanks!
Rosie Tamil says
Hi I’m 5″6 and 160 lbs my ideal weight is 115 but I need it off as soon as possible but maintain it and make sure the method is safe would this plan work for me?
Felix says

Alexander Writer says
My man! Make it happen! You got this!
Devona says
Started today!!! I’ll check back in 30 with results. CW: 223 I don’t walk an hour but i do the elliptical for 40-60 min then weights for 1 hour every morning at the gym. Should I still do the push up and jumping jack’s? Also I meal prep but should my calories be 1700 after my net or before. Ex. Eat 1700 a day minus 900 burned at the gym, calories left 800 for the day? Or should I eat 2600 calories so my body keeps 1700. If the latter I’m struggling to meal prep over 1500 already smh lol
Bonnie says
What about having a glass of wine? Yeh or neh?
Stacy says
I’m with Devona, I started 3 days ago and prior had a very steady work out with bad eating habits. Do i still need to jump rope, walk, and push ups if i work out intensely 5-6 days a week lifting med-heavy weights? Also what are you thoughts on alcohol and how it will affect the diet alcohol and how it will affect the diet should I cut out a few extra calories to be able to afford a shot of vodka or 2.
Lorena says
Hello Alex. I just bought your book and I am excited. I am 190 pounds and my ideal weight is 120. My question is after follow your recommendations will I have saggy skin?
Thank you in advance
Alec says
Hey Alex, Is there a sample menu you can point to online for breakfast/lunch and dinner? I am currently at 330 lbs and would like to shed 30 at first and then keep going . I should be eating at around 3000 cals
Thanks in advance.
Tara says
The Link for Yohimbe supplements is a “Guide to Rock Hard Erections” 😉
Cassandra says
I’m so glad to come across this. Have always been discouraged by the “1 pound a week” advice. One pound a week? Seriously? Anyway, even though I kind of knew it was possible it’s nice to read it. Several of your tips I’ll be incorporating- especially the multiplying the ideal weight by 10. And the 500 extra calorie cheat meal. Thank you again.
Alexander Writer says
My pleasure Cassandra.
Ekaterina Banta says
Alex,
Thank you for advice. My question is, I am unable to jump for medical reasons. I calculated that jumping rope in the manner you described would burn around 300 calories. Is that correct? Then I can just substitute rope jumping with another 300 calorie activity.
Thank you.
Alexander Writer says
Sure, that’s fine.
Avvy says
This is exactly the kick I needed. Printing this out! THANK YOU very much.
Alexander Writer says
My pleasure Avvy.
Charlee Rogers says
What exactly does perform 30 rounds of one minute? Referring to jump rope
Dwayne says
Is my ideal weight what I should be at. I’m 5’7 weigh 280. I would like to loose 30lbs in a month. But right now my goal is to weigh 250lb. I should in the end weigh 170. So is my calorie intake 2500 or 1700 for the first month.
Alexander Writer says
2,500 will get you to 250. But 1,700 will get you to 250 a lot faster and eventually all the way down to 170.
AM89 says
I work three 12 hr shifts at night each week. So my week is a mixture of me having a regular sleep schedule and days where they are reversed.
Mention this because I want to figure out how to IF during the cross over days.
For example I don’t work Sunday, I work Monday night, and I’m off Tuesday night.
Sunday I obviously would Fast 7pm-11am, but Monday I need to sleep during the day so I can be up all night, and Tuesday I also have to sleep during the day….
When would be a good time to fast on the nights I work?
Sorry about the long winded background, I want to do this and be serious about it, and I want to set it up so that I can succeed but am having a hard time.
Alexander Writer says
Just eat in an 8 hour window how you do on Sundays. The times don’t always have to be the same. All that matters is that you give your body 16 hours of fasting.
Kay says
Hi…love this! Can I do this without the fast day? I don’t need to lose the 30 pounds in 30 days…but I do need to lose 30 pounds in 5 months. I cannot fast for 24 hours due to hypoglycemia. I can, however, stick with intermittent fasting and the rest of the plan.
Alexander Writer says
Hi Kay,
You should always check with your doctor before starting a new diet plan just to be safe.
Ray says
Hi Alex,
I just started eating a low carb (keto) diet where i try to stay between 20-25 grams of carbs a day. Would you recommend taking the fat burners and yohimbe while on low carbs?
Thanks
Alexander Writer says
They are not necessary but will difinately speed up your fat loss and help curb your appetite.
Ryan says
I’m taking a look at the C4 Ripped. On the page it compares C4 Ripped to C4 Ultimate. Though C4 Ultimate is more expensive and lacks the Capsimax that C4 Ripped has, it seems like C4 Ultimate is better in many ways (Citrulline Malate, Betaine Anhydrous, Taurine and Nitrosigine). If I don’t mind spending a little more, should I go for the C4 Ultimate?
Thanks so much!
Alexander Writer says
I haven’t tried it so not sure how good it is. Your call 🙂
RB says
Hi. On the jump rope, do you go 1 minute jump, then 1 minute rest for how many minutes total? 60? (I made it to 20 minutes-combining 10 jumps with 10 rests and was totaled, but maybe a good start?? Should I try this again in two or three days and build up to every day and then increase?)
Also, what do you do if you pull a hamstring. Any suggestions for alternate exercises for this one?
Am 66 and about to be the Moher of the Bride in 90 days. I WANT this!
Dave says
#31 – Visualise it. Get it in your head that you’re an active person and your body will follow.
#32 – surround yourself with like-minded active friends. This is my biggest downfall. I have couch potato friends. 🙂

You got this Dave!!!
Noah Wilson says
Already a week in and I’ve lost 10 pounds. Intermitting fasting is the best! One main thing not to skip is the jumping jacks and cardio. And do not overeat on your off days! Will check in when the month is up. Will definitely keep going after a month
Alexander Writer says
Awesome Noah!!!!
Holly says
I am skeptical of this. It seems too good to be true. Does this really work, and if so, wont it leave you with nasty stretch marks?

Hi Alex! So glad I ran into your article. I am trying to get in shape for the Fire Academy. I am an 18 year old 5’4 145 pound female trying to get down to about 115-120. I do have a couple questions if you don’t mind:)
1. So obviously processed foods hinder weight loss and whole foods are best, but is there any foods to avoid (like any particular fruits)? Also, I am vegetarian. Even though tofu and soy isn’t really “natural”, would it be okay? Is it best to avoid certain types of foods high in carbs (just wanted your thoughts on carbs and if intermittent fasting would still work if it isn’t keto).
2. Would a OMAD plan be more effective or less effective than a 8-16 hour feeding window?
3. And even though it isn’t in the article, is there somewhere I could go on your website to find any upper body workouts or advice for building muscle?
Thanks Alex! You rock!

Hi Alex. I just purchased the Demon diet and have a few questions,
for Pase one do you have to eat tuna, turkey breast and broccoli, I cant eat seafood, so would I substitute for tuna , just eat turkey and broccoli,
Thank you

You can have turkey or any other protein that is low fat, high protein. The key is to keep your fats as low as possible during the tuna, turkey and broccoli days.

I purchased the book and it downloaded but I can’t open it on my phone. What do I need to do?
Alexander Writer says
Hi Laura,
You can download a free app called iBooks in the iTunes store.

Hello, Alex.
I just purchased your ebook this morning and I’m excited to try this! I’m at 195 looking to drop to 150.
My concern is with the early morning walking. I am unable to do so due to my work schedule and children ( I work from home and I use my treadmill). It’s impossible.
However, I can walk for an hour on my lunch break (I usually do not eat by then). I use to do this (before getting pregnant) and I lost 40 lbs in 4 months. I’m just wondering if this is ok to (walk mid morning) again?

G,day Alex,
Well, read through most of your postings. Very interesting, informative, dumbed it down enough for us not fast on the uptake.
My details are as follows…60 year old female..morbidly obese at 138 kg or around 304 lbs in your speak, currently losing weight, from 145 kg or around 320 lbs from June 2nd 2019.
I have hypertension and diabetic 2 but medication is successfully bringing both down.
I love the idea of OMAD, fasting 23 hours every second day.
Which brings me to my point. There is no way in hell am I going to exercise because of a dicky knee caused by injury 48 years ago. Just started playing up now, go figure
I try to walk around my clothesline for 5 minutes, 3 x a day, but even that is hopeful. No pool nearby or gym either.
So mate, what do you suggest for this old broad….eager to hear your suggestions
Krystal says
I just started this today, and I’m feeling great about it! No alcohol, counting calories, and fasting are all things that would typically discourage me from trying anything like this, but I need a change and this seems like an awesome jumpstart to a new lifestyle! I’m 226 and 199 is my FIRST goal. I was always thin growing up, but I haven’t been below 200 pounds since having my last baby 11 years ago, and I’m sick of all this weight!
The fat burner I decided on is GNC Total Lean Energize & Burn. I get the energy and so far I’m not hungry, but not jittery (just almost lol).
It’s only day one… but I’m really excited. So stay tuned!!
