Slab o' nutrition, food loaf diet plan
It's got all the nutrients you need and you can eat all you want. Bon appetite

I'm sure others have come up with single food diet plans before, where you would loose weight by only eating one single type of nutritionally balanced food loaf or something. But people would quit it very quickly unless implemented in this fashion: Before every meal, (of whatever you want) you eat as much "food loaf" as you can stomach. When your stomach is full, you can have a much cake, candy, bacon, deep-fried butter sticks, whatever you want. Maybe while you were stuffing this crap down your throat (I know I'm not selling this very well) you could fantasize about the good stuff to come. If that's too gross, you could just take it in capsule form. It might take 10 to 15 minutes to take as many as you needed but you would definitely eat very little of the unhealthy stuff afterwards. Although it might be a task to swallow food capsules for 45 minutes a day, for some people it would beat actually getting off their asses and doing some exercise. And anything is better than wasting away due to obesity, heart disease, diabetes etc.

       If this were in the form of expanding foam pills, one could take one's medicine, and have it foam up in the stomach, triggering the 'full' response and disuading the dieter from eating further food items. [+]

       Can you put it on a bun with lots of mayo?

       It is possible to take in more nutrients than what is healthy. Iron and Calcium are common overdose minerals.

       I really like [zen-tom]s idea of a foaming pill.

       You could probably achieve the same effect by swallowing a lot of feathers and then jumping up and down.   

       If you really want to diet then first, before your meal, drink a litre (quart for the Yanks) of water before starting your meal. Avoiding carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes, rice) after dark is a good idea, too. That way you have a chance to metabolise your carb intake while you are active, rather than having your body squirrel it away while you sleep.   

       I have lost about 10kg, 22lb, since Christmas, using those two simple methods.

       I gotta be honest. I'd just like to see a food product called "Slab o' nutrition" or "Food loaf". I wouldn't speculate whether you'd serve it with red or white wine, but a strong alchoholic beverage of some sort might be a good idea.

       [UB] What's that in stones?

FarmerJohn, May 10 2005
  

       14lb to the stone, so just over 1.5st.

UnaBubba, May 10 2005
  

       doc, it would have to come with another product called 'Drink' or 'Liquid refreshment.' Maybe 'Nutrient suspension.' Shake well.

       <digression>Oddly, the only time I have ever lost weight rapidly was when I wasn't trying to: I went through a phase of taking my daughter tree- climbing.

The climbing itself wasn't particularly strenuous, but I have this theory that, deep down in our primate metabolism, there's a regulator that recognises that a tree-dwelling animal cannot afford to carry excess weight. After all, our hairy old knuckle- dragging metabolism is what makes us prone to store away those extra calories as fat in the first place, so maybe we need to prompt it into dumping them.</digression>

       Soterios has an interesting idea. "Another fine product from the good people at 'Feed' brand foods."
