rj the common wisdom is that those type of extreme diets simply don't work. What sustains fat burn is accelerating your body's metabolism through exercise -- not slowing it down by near starvation. Unless you sequester yourself somewhere in a cave or something it's just not possible to maintain the extreme eating requirements, and in any case people who claim to have gotten results simply regain the weight after a few months.
You don't have to go outside necessarily to lose weight. Anaerobic exercises like lifting weights are terrific ways to lose weight and gain strength and improve your figure. Body builders eat thousands of calories more than their body weight because their bodies need to burn the extra calories to fuel their muscles during workouts and repair them after. It is very hard though admittedly for people with ADD to keep focused on a repetitive and boring and tiring workout indoors. What I try to do is go for really long walks and runs where there are plenty of people and things to see. Remember ADD people often need extra-stimulation, not less, to do things.
And I keep telling you but why are you taking such heavy doses of Zyprexa and Prozac? They make things like ADD and weight gain so much worse. Can't you just take meds for the ADD so you can exercise and study and stuff and forget all the pdocs who keep thinking you're paranoid and delusional? How can you research meds and weight loss diets and video games if you're paranoid and delusional -- it doesn't make sense.
