Which plan would you choose?

Can you guys help me choose a plan? I'm seeing a private doctor to lose weight and have 2 options.

Option 1, very strict:
-2 days milk, 2 days fruits/veggies ... almost nothing else except vitamins and zero calories artificial stuff. i was on it, wrote about it here, lost weight and kept it off for the most part. but had to get off because i was fatigued and losing hair!

Option 2, moderate but weight loss is cut to about half:
-5 days a week boiled egg, 2 fruits, 1.5 lbs veggies, 5-7oz chicken or fish,
-2 days milk/yogurt
-1 day protocol basically meaning i can have whatever i want not to exceed 2000 calories that day
-vitamins and i'm allowed the zero calorie stuff but wouln't use it on this plan.

The 2nd option is more lenient and seems more healthy, what do you think? the downside is i'd have to be on it for 3x as longer. BUT i can probably workout more and will be less likely to "cheat."

Thanks!

A doctor is NOT a nutritionist or a dietician. It is like going to a dentist because he/she is a doctor and asking for a heart consultation.


Both options are bad, option 1 in particular is TERRIBLE.

Well, I can understand why you would say #1 is a bad choice. I was on it to lose weight quick because I was obese and it worked. You're right it's terrible and I don't want to be back on it. But can you tell me why you think #2 is also a bad choice? It's pretty nutritious, esp since I'll be consuiming the fruits/veggies mostly raw.

For option 2, I'm not really sure I understand how it works. Does it mean that for 2 days every week, you can only eat milk/yogurt?

Does the doctor really advise you to do this?

Option 1 is no option. It is starvation.

Option 2 would be better, but wouldn't you want to give yourself some more time and just do it through the old-fashioned slow, steady and healthy way? I mean just work out and eat healthy.. Not too much not too little?

They both sound scary if you ask me. You shouldn't limit yourself like that because it will be easier to fall back to eating badly once the weight is off.
