Another attempt at ABC
I will be, once again, attempting to complete the ABC diet. This time, I will be doing the diet with other people from the starvation army, so that should help me to stick with it. Every day, I will be posting here like I would post in a diary. Obviously though, I can't actually write down my journal entries for fear that someone my stumble across them 'accidentally.'
I'm going to post the list of days so I can plan it out better....

Negative Calorie Foods
Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain! Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to breakdown and process. In other words, the body has to work harder to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage, and are also known as fat burning foods.
A piece of dessert consisting of 400 calories may require only 150 calories to be digested by our body, resulting in a net gain of 250 calories which is added to our body fat! According to this theory, for example, if you eat 100 calories of a food that requires 150 calories to digest, then you've burnt an additional 50 calories simply by eating that food. Typically, a 25 calorie piece of broccoli (100 gram) requires 80 calories to digest, resulting in a net loss of 55 calories from the body fat!! Thus, the more you eat, the more you lose weight!!!
There are a wide variety of these negative calorie fat-burners in existence. In fact, there are a large number of foods that combine low calories you can eat to become slim naturally. The list of negative calorie foods contains about 100 foods. With natural negative calorie food ingredients in right combination & simple exercise will allow you to rejuvenate your metabolism, supercharging its ability to burn off fat. You will be surprised how your metabolism and figure will improve.
Vegetables
Asparagus, Beet Root, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrot, Cauliflower, Celery, Celery root
Chicory, Dandelions, Endives, Hot Chili, Cucumber, Garden cress, Garlic,
Green Beans, Lettuce, Onion, Radish, Spinach, Turnip, Zucchini,
Fruits
Apple, Blueberries, Cantaloupe, Cranberry, Grapefruit,
Honeydew, Lemon/Lime, Mango, Orange, Papaya, Peach,
Pineapple, Prunes, Raspberry, Strawberry, Tomato, Tangerine, Turnip,
Watermelon
Although not usually considered a food, ice cubes have been used as a negative calorie source, in that water contains no calories in the first place, and the body must expend energy to compensate for the slight decrease in temperature it experiences as the ice is consumed.

Chicken Soup Diet
Chicken Soup Diet
Chicken Soup Diet works on a very simple idea. You have 1 breakfast each day (see breakfast choices listed below) and as much chicken soup as you want during the day. First off, the recipe for the chicken soup is in the recipes section of the site. Below you'll find the breakfast choices you can have each morning.
Breakfasts Choices
On the chicken soup diet you are allowed one breakfast a day. Now you can try a different breakfast every day, and this is the best way because it will give you a good nutritional balance. Since there are only 5 different ones to choose from, for the last two days of the diet, repeat the ones you liked the best. Okay, here are the Breakfast dishes:
Breakfast 1:
1 cup vanilla nonfat yogurt combined with 1/2 cup chopped fruit salad and sprinkled with wheat germ.
Breakfast 2:
1 cup ricotta cheese combined with 1/2 tsp. of sugar and a dash of cinnamon.
2 pieces while-grain bread, toasted
3 dried figs
Breakfast 3:
1 1/2 cups Total cereal
1/2 cup nonfat milk
1/2 cup calcium enriched orange juice

1/2 cup prune juice
1 small whole-wheat bagel, topped with 1 oz of fat-free cheddar cheese melted.
Breakfast 5:
1 1/2 cups cooked Wheaten Cereal
1/2 cup nonfat milk
Now remember, you have one of these breakfast dishes every day and then as much of the chicken soup as you want.

Popcorn Recipe
Measure out 1/4 cup of unpopped kernels (= about 5 cups of popped corn)
pour into a large pot (high walls) thats been sprayed with a bit of PAM (so the kernels don't stick)
put on medium heat.
Then you just wait, stirring occasionally until the kernels start to make sizzling noises and moving around - when they start popping quickly turn the heat down a little bit and semi-cover the pot with a lid. I lift it up ever so slightly and stir occasionally but it's not really required until almost the very end (when the popping slows down).
Voila popcorn!
I put a little bit of cinnamon on mine
It's super easy, healthy and a great way to feel like you binged without actually bingeing - so your body feels fuller
1 Serving=128 cal

Fat Burning Yoga Workout
Lose belly fat with these fat burning yoga exercises:
You contort into all kinds of wacky positions wriggling into those skinny jeans. Bend and twist on a regular basis and that might not be necessary. An active sequence of yoga flows — a form called vinyasa — burns more than 450 calories an hour, according to Sara Ivanhoe, host of 20 Minute Yoga Makeover: Weight Loss.
These two flows provide a total-body workout. Repeat each one 5 to 10 times
Backbend:
Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Lace your fingers behind you (palms facing up). Inhaling, bend from your upper back, lift your chest, and press your shoulders down.
Forward Bend:
Soften your knees and bend forward as you exhale, letting your torso hang in front of your thighs. Keeping your arms straight and fingers locked together, lift them up and over your head (ultimately reaching toward the floor in front of your feet).
Chair:
Inhale and bend your knees into a squat. Unlock and straighten your fingers, then separate your arms. When your thighs are nearly parallel to the floor, move your arms toward your ears. Keep your weight on your heels. Inhale, stand up, and lower your arms to your sides. Exhale.
Cobra:
Uncurl your toes so the tops of your feet are touching the ground and press your tailbone down. Hug your elbows in as you inhale, straighten your arms (keep a slight bend), and lift your chest off the ground. Exhale as you gently release your body back to the ground. Inhale, curl your toes under, and press your hips up and back into downward-facing dog. Exhale.

Our plyometrics-inspired lower-body routine will tone trouble spots ASAP.
Clock Lunge:
Works glutes, hamstrings, quads, and inner and outer thighs
With your hands on your hips, lunge forward with your right foot, sinking down until your right knee is bent 90 degrees [A]. Return to standing. Take a big step to the right and lunge again [B]. Step back to center. Lunge back with your right leg [C]. That's 1 rep. Do 10, then repeat with your left leg.
Keep your neck in line with your spine throughout the move.
Step-Ups with Knee Raise
Works abs, hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, and quads
Place a 12- to 24-inch-high step in front of you. Step up with your left foot [A], bringing your right leg forward and up and bending your knee until your thigh is parallel to the floor [B]. Lower your right leg back to start, then the left. Repeat with the other leg. That's 1 rep; do 10.
For a tougher challenge, hold 5- to 10-pound dumbbells.
Inchworm Stretch
For lower back and hamstrings Standing with your feet hip-distance apart, slowly bend at the waist, keeping your legs as straight as possible, until your hands touch the floor about 8 to 12 inches from your feet [A]. Walk your hands out to pushup position [B], then walk your feet in toward your hands. Work up to 2 sets of 8 reps.
Your body should form a straight line from your heels to your head.
Squat Jumps

Swinging your arms will give you momentum so you can catch more air.

Let the dumbbell hang naturally in front of your thighs. Squat down until your knees are bent about 90 degrees [A]. Keeping your elbows slightly bent, brace your abs and press up to standing, swinging the dumbbell up until it's directly overhead [B]. Lower the dumbbell back toward the floor. That's 1 rep; do 10.
Keep your movement controlled to work the most muscle.
Power Skips

Your left leg should remain straight and your right elbow should be slightly bent at your side. Land on the ball of your left foot. Repeat the skipping motion with your opposite arm and leg [B]. That's 1 rep; do 10.
Try to jump a little higher with each skip.
Figure 4 Stretch
For hip flexors and glutesStarting out on all fours, cross your left leg under your body, so that you are almost resting on your left hip. Extend your right leg directly behind you [A].

Take deep breaths to help yourself sink deeper into the stretch.
