How I Lost 51 Pounds In 4 Months Using The Simplest Diet Plan In
By Adam Minsky, Thu Dec 8th
Like many people I've been on dozens of diet plans over theyears ranging from Atkins to South Beach to Weightwatchers toJenny Craig and lots more besides. In fact, I've eaten enoughcabbage soup to satisfy a small country! I'm 5 feet 10 and Iused to weigh 230 pounds and needed to lose a good 50 pounds toget myself in some short of shape. And then it hit me. It'sseems so logical now and so simple but I had ignored thesimplest weight loss solution of all. Here's how I discovered it. I was over in the UK on vacation and saying with an Aunt. Wewere having tea together and my Aunt was watching her favouritedaytime TV show called "Today with Des and Mel." The host, arather charming guy called Des O'Connor was being asked how hestayed so trim and slim and indeed virile at aged 70 (he hadjust once again become a father) and he gave me the simplestweight loss solution I have ever heard. In fact you'd beseriously challenged to find a fitter and more vibrant looking70 year old anywhere on the planet. Des's answer was that he only eats one meal per day in theevening, and in fact eats as much as he wants at that one mealsitting. During the day he may well graze on a bit of fruit andnaturally drinks plenty of fluids but he swears by the plan andhas done for over 40 years.
This seemed so simple and ridiculously easy and I was verydoubtful whether it would work for me. However, it's based onpure logic. By missing out on significant calories during theday, the body makes up for it in the evening and then stores upcalories to keep you going the next day until your evening meal.However, I'm no scientist or doctor and I'm only interested inresults. Here's how it worked for me. Week One was a little challenging. I did nibble on the oddcookie to keep me going with my morning black coffee. I missedthe social aspect of
lunch but contented myself with knowingthat I was doing my health and body a huge favor. In week one Ilost 6 pounds and in the first month 15 pounds dropped off mybody! However, having been on many diet programs over the yearsI was worried it could all come back.With this in mind I starteda gentle walking program in the evenings after my meal of theday and this really helped me with my energy levels. I reallydidn't want to visit a gym or stress myself by running. I was eating everything I wanted in the evenings, including icecream and lots of ribs and fries etc. However, after the firstmonth my body seemed to start regulating itself and I didn'tseem to crave these heavy rich foods as much. I think my bodystarted to learn that it needed to eat well and wholesome in theevenings so it could get through the next 24 hours. In month two I dropped another 13 pounds. In month three I losta further 12 pounds and in month four another 11 pounds makingfor a total weight loss of 51 pounds in FOUR months. Trulyamazing. I'm still staggered by it. I don't recommend this planfor life and have slowly reintroduced a healthy breakfast and avery light lunch. It's a truly great plan for losing excessweight quickly though - and works like nothing I've ever triedbefore. One year on and I'm still at my target weight of 180 pounds. Istill do my walking exercise most evenings and feel 1000% betterwith loads more energy. I've recommended this plan to dozens offriends and I have to say it's worked for 90% of them. Give it ashot, the odds are that it'll work great for you too! Check withyour doctor first though to be safe. About the author:Adam Minsky runshttp://www.Nutritional-Supplement-Resources.com.
