Perhaps the OP should study the diets of various concentration camp inmates and POWs. Look how wonderfully skinny they all managed to get… and OH those cheekbones! To die for!
But as demonstrated in this thread, you seem to know very little about nutrition. Why do you think you’ll do a good job of tailoring anything to your needs?
You need a dietitian, not a nutritionist. Look for the R.D. degree, at the least.
BTW today I noticed that my face is looking thinner - my temples and cheeks are indented and are looking bony. I want to lose stubborn belly fat NOT face fat…
Well I’m good at calorie counting and I know what foods I like or are too expensive. I know about sugar content, etc. BTW my household used to get fish and chips from the fish and chip shop. Now we bake them in the oven so that it has about half the calories (not deep fried) and the “tartare” sauce has about 20% of the calories. It also saves a lot of money. The “tartare” sauce is made from very low fat mayo plus minced pickles. I’ve been leaning towards a paleo diet lately.
Thanks I emailed a dietition:
“Hi I was wondering how much dietician appointments usually cost. Do you know if I’d get some money back from a standard [health insurance] plan? I want to lose some stubborn belly fat while doing minimal exercise. Otherwise I am fairly thin.
Thanks,
[JohnClay]”
Heroin chic without the H. Cool!
Good. Excellent. I’m very glad to hear that.
Whatever you do, be sure to make a snap judgment about its effectiveness after no more than three days, and instantly use that judgment to inform future decisions, because that’s just plain common sense.
Along with utter obliviousness to the context.
And all of this is over “a little stubborn belly fat” on “a fairly thin person” that modest exercise would reduce without any dietary changes.
JC, have you considered DIY liposuction? You have an exacto knife and a vacuum cleaner, right?
OP seems incapable of typing out the phrase “belly fat” without the word “stubborn” in front of it. Kinda like the ubiquitous ads. Hmmm.
JC, I have never posted in one of your threads. This will be the first and last time. But I have to say, reading your threads is sort of like viewing a trainwreck. Just when I think your comments can’t get stranger, they do.
No I don’t always say “stubborn”:
“I just have more belly fat than I’d like”
“the main thing is that I lose some belly fat. BTW I tried to do an internet search for skinny people who still had significant belly fat”
“To lose belly fat involves losing fat in general around the whole body. I’m sure if I became anorexic I’d lose my belly fat even if I never exercised.”
From the dietitions I emailed:
It’s for the loss of about 2 kg of fat so maybe it won’t be covered by EPC.
I’ll tell you exactly what the dietician will tell you, and for free:
If you want to lose weight, eat sensibly, avoid idiotic fad diets, and exercise.
There. Now you can ignore her advice too in favor of finding another fantasy to believe in.

A dietition might be able to check that out - or hopefully my doctor can for free…
Even if any of those causes turn out to be present in your case (and I suspect you’re grasping at straws here), would you like to hear what your prescribed treatment will be? “Eat sensibly, avoid fad diets, and exercise.”
If it was a doctor though he could prescribe drugs. My friend was prescribed a weight-loss drug (though a possible side-effect is oily stools). Someone I live with was gaining weight recently and she saw the doctor about it and he gave her thyroid medication. Now she is losing weight and has a much smaller appetite. Maybe dietitions can’t prescribe drugs though I think they might recommend supplements such as vitamin and mineral ones.
No ethical physician would prescribe thyroid hormones for the sole purpose of inducing weight loss. To do so would be malpractice.
I suspect your acquaintance had a significant thyroid hormone deficiency, which is why one would be put on thyroid meds.
And given what you’ve written here about your weight and height, no ethical physician would prescribe other weight loss drugs for someone whose BMI was in that range.
Unless your diet is seriously deficient in some way, no supplements are going to have any affect on your weight. Eat less, eat better, exercise more.
