Zombie Diet - opinions?

So, I got this diet idea from one of my favorite movies. It's somewhat similar to Aktins, good iron and enzymes, but all the food is very fresh, "not caged" if you know what I mean, but the protein and fat content is high.

Breakfast: brains

Lunch: brains, side of calf, knee

Dinner: More human brains!

Also, the zombie diet requires that you run everywhere for your food. Okay, you actually run down your food. Or, you could walk slowly mumbling "brains...BRAINS!" with a glazed over, undead look to you. I think that the best way to get this going is to NOT write a book about it, but simply run around, biting people and in turn pass on my "craving" for fresher, free-range food.

Unfortunately, I cannot find anything on the calorie content of knees, brains or sides of flesh. Help me out here.

LOL! *falls off the couch laughing*

I must say that if you did decide to write that book it would probably be a best seller ;)

Haha! Can you imagine the angry letters I'd get? Who would write the endorsements on the back cover? ; )

Hmm. do they have liver? Check around for that.

brains, brains, brains for lunch, brains for breakfast, brains for brunch, brains on every single meal...why can't we have more brains!?

LOL!!!  (Have you tried looking up "sweetmeats" or "offal"?)

Why would this be a high-fat diet?  From what I hear, there's not a lot of fat in the human brain.  And as long as you didn't eat the omentum or anything like that . . .

Hey! I know you're not knocking my diet! I lost 60 lbs. on this diet.. true, it's cause a hunter came and chopped off one of my arms, but.. 60 lbs. is 60 lbs!

Besides, it's not JUST Brain and Offal.

Why, just this morning, I had a Brain Omelet. Brain, Eggs, a Sprig of Parsley and a little olive oil. Delicious! :D

And for lunch, Brain stew! 

I'm sure brain calories would be comparable to beef brains, right? :)

3 oz.  125 calories. Make sure you bring your food scale with you. 

Yeah, I was on this diet for awhile...but all the shuffling around meant I wasn't getting my cardio...Also, the open sores were kind of a drag. And the moaning made my throat hurt.

I'm thinking of trying the new vampire diet. It's a bit sexier and involves flying, so that sounds more up my alley.

If you try it, myrna, just make sure to avoid the Stake. Unless it's really well-done. I mean.. burned to a crisp ;) Even then.. may be a bad idea ;)

sure...as long as the zombies are organically grown and Green..

those chinese-raised zombies are full of all kinds of bad additives...

Are you all practicing for Halloween?  Let me know if you're coming to my street so I can hide!  Not that there's much left of my brain...

Like Lead Paint? ;)

Hannibal Lecter would love your Zombie diet... Maybe that is how he stays so trim.

 Asia Argento? Danny Boyle? They're both pretty fit. By the way, what was the movie that sparked this lovely idea, and were you snacking on anything at the time? 

I love it!  I have to show my friend this thread.  She's a zombie fiend.  She'd be one if she could. lol

So I've looked into the vampire diet and apparently it's great while you're on it -- plenty of fresh air, lots of exercise (including some bedroom activities), high-protein diet . . . the one flaw is that it is a liquid diet and the weight will come right back if you're not careful. 

That, and one of the side effects includes an ever-so-slight sensitivity to sunlight so those on this diet do tend to be deficient in Vitamin D.  If they're not poofing into dust.

You guys are soo funny!!!

:D

Actually, I was eating when I read this and it made me not want to eat so much.  :P

hmm sounds a lot like an Atkins rip-off...

lol

I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti ~ Hannibal Lecter

Hmm . . . I take it this thread has joined the dead.

Or should that be, the undead?
