Best piece of advice you can share: a High-Protein, High-Fiber, Low-Carb (starch and sugar carbs, aka SIMPLE carbohydrates, especially) “ketogenic diet”. It’s helped me lose over EIGHTY POUNDS.
You can drink STRIGHT booze on low-carb diets.

how do you feel about...
the discussion of other intoxicants to induce/prevent hunger?
like... sometimes i get mad munchies from pot or (even tho i'm not a fan of it) Xanax.
things like booze, or opiates, help me lose my appetite.
do y'all ever get booze munchies?
certain booze turn your stomach more than others?
i once read that the way janeane garafalo lost all her weight was (at least partially) due to the hunger-killing effect of tequila. she said she'd eat a banana and take a few shots of tequila if she were hungry. maybe i'm imagining the banana part... the tequila part i remember SOLID, tho.

Janeane Garofalo QUOTES
.....................................
"I've always tried to be pragmatic and realistic about my looks. For most of my career, my weight has vacillated between 115 and 140 pounds. But I'm not proud of losing weight -- it's been a sell out. I lost weight so I could be considered for a wider range of acting jobs. I don't pretend that it's a health kick or that it's just to feel better about myself. I'm smoking a lot more -- about a half a pack to two packs a day -- and drinking more coffee and Diet Coke and more water, which I hate. I joined Crunch gym and went for three weeks, but then I stopped because I couldn't handle the workouts. I continue to fantasize about what I really want to eat every fucking day. I don't think I'm sexy, but I do get a lot more compliments now. I just don't take them as compliments."

(interview from BUST magazine)
B -- I read that there was a time that you did lose all this weight to try and get more movie roles, and I'm wondering, did losing it make you feel different about yourself?
JG -- It made me feel worse. Because I wasn't doing it for me. If I had done it so me, that would be fine, and I probably would have kept it off, although it took a lot of work to lose it.
B -- Yeah, how the fuck did you do it?
JG -- I starved myself, basically. For six weeks, I ate bananas, and when I was hungry, I would do shots of tequila or vodka -- the taste of it just made me totally not hungry, and plus I got a buzz off of it. So I'd eat bananas, drink a lot of water, drink a lot of coffee, and then do shots at night if I was hungry. I felt awful. I lost about 30 pounds. I guess I weighed about 98 pounds or something. I got a bunch of auditions I would have never gotten.
