Losing Weight is Easy - Keeping it Off is the Hard Part

Have you ever tried dieting but it left you feeling hungry or deprived? What if someone could show you how to lose weight and keep it off without eating low calorie food. I can give you the answer to dieting while still consuming what you love to eat.

Most diets are meant as a one size fits all. This does not work for everyone. If you have tried dieting in the past only to gain the weight back, you are not to blame.

The first step is to start changing how and somewhat, what you eat. Take your time getting use to each step. You can move slowly and easily through the changes.

To start off, on the first day, add a low carb protein to all snacks and meals. Some dairy and non-meat alternatives are tofu, half and half, milk, sour cream, egg whites, cheese, eggs and cottage cheese. Most fish, meat and fowl are low card.

To start with, for day one, the menu for day one for breakfast you might have a bowl of cereal. Add scrambled eggs to it. Chicken noodle soup, maybe a cookie and a roll and butter are your lunch. Tuna salad could be added to this. Evening meal would consist of 1 to 2 meatballs, fruit, garlic bread, a drink, spaghetti with sauce; add another 1 to 2 meatballs.

If you are comfortable following day ones guideline, move on to day two. For noon and dinner meals, add a salad and/or vegetables. Make sure to stick with day ones guideline as well.

For day three, we add a late night snack. For breakfast, have scrambled eggs, coffee with creamer or milk and a little bowl of cereal. Leave out the chicken noodle soup at lunch but keep the other foods mentioned. Make a choice between garlic bread or spaghetti with sauce. As for the snack, celery and cucumber, drummettes, little chocolate bar and a little bit of potato chips are the late night snack.

The guideline for day four the nighttime snack does not change. Breakfast-coffee and milk, 2 scrambled eggs and then the cereal. Lunch is going to be a salad, chicken, then roll and a cookie. Dinner consists of an appetizer of Shrimp Dijon, salad, green vegetables, 3 or 4 meatballs then spaghettis with sauce or garlic bread.

From day 4 to day 5, the only change is to add the New Orleans crustless quiche. The meals stay the same.

A change occurs at lunch time for day 6. Drop the cookie and the roll but add a tuna stuffed mushrooms. There is no change for breakfast, dinner or the snack.

All meals and snack stay the same except for breakfast on day seven. Sausage is added to morning meal.

Starting the diet is easy. The meals listed are just samples for you to give you an idea of how the diet works.

Follow all the guidelines for continued weight loss. Remember that losing weight slowly means you are less likely to gain it back. Expect to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.

If there is a particular activity, such as walking, that you love, add this to your diet about 3 weeks after starting it.

I have been following this diet and do not feel deprived or hungry. After a 20 pound weight loss in 2 months, I will continue to follow it. Drink a lot of water.
