How I Lost 51 Pounds In 4 Months Using The Simplest Diet Plan In The World.
Like many people I've been on dozens of diet plans over the years
ranging from Atkins to South Beach to Weightwatchers to Jenny Craig and
lots more besides. In fact, I've eaten enough cabbage soup to satisfy a
small country! I'm 5 feet 10 and I used to weigh 230 pounds and needed
to lose a good 50 pounds to get myself in some short of shape. And then
it hit me. It's seems so logical now and so simple but I had ignored
the simplest weight loss solution of all. Here's how I discovered it.
I was over in the UK on vacation and saying with an Aunt. We were
having tea together and my Aunt was watching her favourite daytime TV
show called "Today with Des and Mel." The host, a rather charming guy
called Des O'Connor was being asked how he stayed so trim and slim and
indeed virile at aged 70 (he had just once again become a father) and
he gave me the simplest weight loss solution I have ever heard. In fact
you'd be seriously challenged to find a fitter and more vibrant looking
70 year old anywhere on the planet.
Des's answer was that he only eats one meal per day in the evening, and
in fact eats as much as he wants at that one meal sitting. During the
day he may well graze on a bit of fruit and naturally drinks plenty of
fluids but he swears by the plan and has done for over 40 years.
This seemed so simple and ridiculously easy and I was very doubtful
whether it would work for me. However, it's based on pure logic. By
missing out on significant calories during the day, the body makes up
for it in the evening and then stores up calories to keep you going the
next day until your evening meal. However, I'm no scientist or doctor
and I'm only interested in results. Here's how it worked for me.
Week One was a little challenging. I did nibble on the odd cookie to
keep me going with my morning black coffee. I missed the social aspect
of lunch but contented myself with knowing that I was doing my health
and body a huge favor. In week one I lost 6 pounds and in the first
month 15 pounds dropped off my body! However, having been on many diet
programs over the years I was worried it could all come back.With this
in mind I started a gentle walking program in the evenings after my
meal of the day and this really helped me with my energy levels. I
really didn't want to visit a gym or stress myself by running.
I was eating everything I wanted in the evenings, including ice cream
and lots of ribs and fries etc. However, after the first month my body
seemed to start regulating itself and I didn't seem to crave these
heavy rich foods as much. I think my body started to learn that it
needed to eat well and wholesome in the evenings so it could get
through the next 24 hours.
In month two I dropped another 13 pounds. In month three I lost a
further 12 pounds and in month four another 11 pounds making for a
total weight loss of 51 pounds in FOUR months. Truly amazing. I'm still
staggered by it. I don't recommend this plan for life and have slowly
reintroduced a healthy breakfast and a very light lunch. It's a truly
great plan for losing excess weight quickly though - and works like
nothing I've ever tried before.
One year on and I'm still at my target weight of 180 pounds. I still do
my walking exercise most evenings and feel 1000% better with loads more
energy. I've recommended this plan to dozens of friends and I have to
say it's worked for 90% of them. Give it a shot, the odds are that
it'll work great for you too! Check with your doctor first though to be
safe.
