65 Gram Diet

Since I gave out a litter teaser in my last post, here is the diet that I pulled together myself using ideas and systems that worked for me in the past.

It's really nothing spectacular or new, but I haven't found anything exactly like this described anywhere without making the diet/lifestyle extremely more complicated. This is easy, free, and not particularly restricting, so I hope a few people might try it and tell me what they think.

When I originally did this diet plan in 1998, and coupled it with exercise Monday-Friday, I lost 100 lbs between January and December. So, there are some long term advantages without having to give up your sweets or carbs or dairy. :)

Dieting Update

Like I said I got too busy last week to post on the blog, but here is my 17 Day Diet update:



I will say that this is not an easy diet to follow if you are not already eating healthy. I don't know that I would recommend it for most people, because it does not address cravings in your system, which I would imagine creates a very high failure rate. I mean, if it was that easy to beat your cravings, we would all be a lot thinner and healthier, right?

That being said, I am not giving up on "dieting" I just think I need to get the idea of a diet out of the picture. A diet is a temporary routine to help you lose weight, but the real key to long term success and weight loss is to change your eating habits permanently. It's not easy to break your cycles, but I am not giving up yet!

I'm going back to my old system of eating that worked very well for me in the past, but then I decided that all of these media hyped books and strategies on weight loss were surely a lot better and smarter than what I was coming up with. The problem is, none of these experts have found anything that works for me, and I've found these diet plans too difficult to stick with. So, I am initiating the "65 Gram Diet" which is really a lifestyle, and I'll post up a video with more details on that shortly.

Thanks so much for reading!

17 Day Deit - Day 4 w/Cheats and Changes

My last blog for the day I promise! lol

I'm a little behind with posting these 17 Day Diet updates, but this is where I was on day 4. I'm going to try to catch up tomorrow and have it all current. But I made the decision to add in some changes to the diet plan, because it just wasn't working for me. Is it an excuse? Yes. Is it genuinely difficult to reprogram your body and not get any cheese, carbs, sugar, and other foods that were staples in your body? YES!

So, I'm trying to find a happy medium where I'm not starving and unhappy, but also working towards a goal. Honestly, I think if the 17 Day Diet was formatted in reverse, so that you did the third cycle first, then worked food out of your diet (instead of starting on a very restricted plan and adding things in every 17 days) it would be much easier for a lot of people to follow. But not getting any carbs or very many sugars doesn't feel like a realistic plan for me at this point. And without further excuses, here are my cheats and changes to the 17 Day Diet:

Are You Dieting?

I feel so bloated with weight since leaving vacation that I wanted to do something. So, here goes nothing I guess!
