okay i am usually the first person to have some problem with a diet....it is not sustainable, it does not work, it is frustrating, it is temporary...well, at work there are about 20 people on a diet and i was seeing results in them and started just asking what they were doing...long story short i ended up with a business card, my cell phone and an appointment almost 8 weeks ago...skeptically i went, not sure what to expect...after an ekg, blood tests, a battery of questions that ranged from why was i there to what was my smallest weight in the last ten years, 2 hours with a nutritionist, 2 bottles of pills and $125 i was done and walking out the door...it was like nothing i had ever heard before...i thought to myself, hell you're not getting any younger and it's either now before gravity strikes even more or never, live with it and deal with it...so, i decided i was all in...see, here's another thing about me; i am an all or nothing kind of person...so, cheating is not an option and having just a little doesn't work when you really like food so, again, i am all in and ready for this change in my eating lifestyle to take place...
the first key is protein...didn't know you are actually supposed to eat half of your weight in grams of protein a day...and if you are eating that much protein along with veggies on a calorie counted diet' it doesn't leave much room for sweets or wasted calories...try cliff builder bars, met rx meal replacement bars, titan bars, detour low carb bars, and muscle milk light bars...they are my lifesavers during the week and at work m-f...keeps me in my calories with extra protein and gives me time to use my lunch hour for something besides eating
second...water...actually this is the part i suck on...but so far the percentage of my body that is water 39% is right on target so, i guess i don't suck as bad as i think i do
thirdly it was mathematics...at the weight i started at i could eat 1950 calories per day and not gain or lose weight....so on a 1200 diet i have a 750 calorie deficit a day X a month = 18 lbs the first month which also equals SWEET! X another month = 10 more and that's about 30 lbs in two months with diet and a bit of exercise
fourth...add exercise; i have been playing basketball on my lunch breaks on monday, tuesday and wednesday and boxing the heavy bag at home two or three times a week...this has been for this second month...the first month was just a change in food
***note to self: running 5 miles = a 500 calorie deficit...but, only 500 calories...just eat less and do some exercise that is lower impact on the knees***also, for every pound you lose it is 5 pounds of pressure off your knees...so glad to be down 125 lbs of pressure on my aching knee ***
ANYONE THAT IS INTERESTED IN THIS TYPE OF DIET EMAIL ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION I GOT FROM MY DOCTOR...IT IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK AND I FEEL GREAT...HAVE A BUNCH MORE TO LOSE BUT THAT'S OKAY I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK THIS TIME BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I CAN EAT.
