weight!
okay so im going to do this "diet" where for 2 weeks all you eat is vegetables. well i was wondering because you're not getting very many calories because vegetables don't have many, would it be okay if i had maybe every other day a "bad food" item. only one? like maybe have a brownie one day or a hamburger from burger king one day or somethig like that? will i still lose weight?

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
well it all depends on how fast you mutabalism is.. if you have a slow mutabalism then it probally wouldn't be so good.. Like my mom is on a diet and she eats those diet meals, and like if she eats even like 1 brownie she gains like 5 pounds.
it probally wouldn't be that bad to have like a brownie every other 2 weeks, but if you eat something bad for you everyday you're going to keep gaining the weight back since those kind of foods have a lot of carbs in it and then there would be no point in going on a diet.
my advice is eat healthy foods, they have diet deserts that you can get that won't make you gain any weight, like they have diet icecream.. it probally doesnt taste the same as regular icecream but hey atleast it's something sweet:)
hope my advice helps and if you need anything else feel free to ask me.

i suggest not to, like the other person whom commented this.....
i agree.
you shouldn't eat a brownie or anything.
Keep up the diet though!
good luck.
(fruit are wonderful to add to your diet also)

The amount of calories contained in a hamburger or a brownie can be as many as you need in one day. They are very fattening and unhealthy for you. You may think you will only have one but before you know it, your whole diet will turn into junk food because your taste buds send endorphins to your brain telling you that those fatty foods are what make you happy leaving you wanting more. If you cut them out completely having a strict diet you will be more likely to lose weight. Also, add some chicken to your diet to keep you healthy and your immunity up. Good Luck!

There are a LOT of vegetarians out there that do just fine with eating strictly vegetables. Eating only vegetables for two weeks isn't unhealthy at all so I'm not sure why you would feel you need to up your calorie intake for those two weeks with junk foods.
Seriously, if you are doing a TWO WEEK diet of eating only vegetables (and vegetables include a WIDE variety of foods) then you should stick with it. Two weeks is a pretty short time anyway. If you can't make two weeks without a brownie or a hamburger from Burger King then you need to make some large life changes in your normal diet.
I say stick with the two week vegetable diet and don't cheat. It's only two weeks. If you have to break a diet of two weeks to have a brownie then you're in serious trouble when you're older and your metabolism slows (natural as you age and lose muscle mass).
Hang on for two weeks without the junk cheats. A lot of people go months without junk to lose weight and be healthy. Some people go years without having "cheat" with junk foods. Two week will fly by if you really want the weightloss to happen.
Eat the vegetables. Eat A LOT of vegetables if you want to. Gorge yourself on vegetables. Eat them raw or steamed. Eat them mixed together or separately.
There is no reason to NEED more calories when on this sort of diet, especially when it would mean adding in REALLY bad foods like brownies or hamburgers.
If you ABSOLUTELY cannot take two weeks of vegetables (which is really sad :( ) then buy a bag of apples, oranges, or whatever fruit you enjoy and have one of those a day. A fruit is WAY better than a brownie, any day, but if you're dieting to lose weight then it's the best route to go.
So, in short, you MIGHT still lose if you sneak in the junk food but you're only cheating yourself. It sounds like you have some sort of addiction to said foods or you wouldn't be desiring them SO strongly when thinking of going away from them for two weeks. Give your body a break and eat the veggies :)
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)

Whether or not you 'cheat' a little bit and eat some junk food, you will simply gain the weight back after the 'diet' is over unless you also change your lifestyle.
That is exactly the reason people say diets don't work, because they only solve the problem for a very short time while you are actually doing them. As soon as you go back to your normal eating, you go back to your normal weight.
Why not just try eating less junk food in general? One piece a day is plenty! Diet or no diet, one thing a day should pretty much do ya. And then eat healthier and be more active in general. That way the results you enjoy will actually last, and you'll be a healthier person as well a lighter one.
