OK, here we go. The diet is so simple, I'm going to describe it in the following
paragraph. That's right. You don't have to read a whole book or shuffle a deck of
eating rules or mess with any indicators or charts. Just read the next paragraph and
you will understand all there is to know.
When you wake up in the morning, weigh yourself. You should
weigh yourself without clothes, or with the same robe every day, so you get a
consistent reading. Put the date and your weight on a piece of paper. Now, you can
eat whatever you want until 3PM. After 3PM, don't eat anything. Also, don't drink
anything that contains more than a few calories. Wash, rinse, and repeat. That's
it.
That's the diet in a nutshell. If you simply cannot do the diet on a given day,
don't worry. Just skip that day and go back on the diet the next day. The idea is to
make it easy for you to accomplish.
In order to see the progress you are making, take the weights you wrote down for a
given week, add them up, and divide by the number of weights you've written down.
This will give you an average. You might not have a weight for every day of the week,
but that's fine. Your weight chart might look something like this:
OK, you've got six days you were able to weigh yourself. Your average weight for that week was 219 pounds. Do this for every subsequent week and you should see results. Your results will vary, but should be within the range of 1 pound of weight loss for any given week. Once you have reached your goal weight, you can start giving yourself additional hours in which you can eat. Bump up your allocated time to 4PM for a week and check your weight. If it doesn't go up, keep bumping up the time until it does start going up, and then cut back an hour. Make sure you don't stop drinking fluids, as it is vitally important to keep you body hydrated. Also, make sure you have a decent portion of fruits and vegetables each day, but you should not have to go crazy. If you have an apple or banana here and there and some leafy greens, you should be fine. If you find that you are not losing weight as quickly as you want, or not at all, try adjusting the time you stop eating by an hour. So, instead of stopping at 3PM, try stopping at 2PM. Try that for a week and see if the results are better. Unfortunately, society does not look kindly on this weight loss plan, because most social eating occurs during later hours, when you are supposed to not eat. If you must eat, go ahead, but try not to. The key to the diet is that your body's ability to handle food you've consumed is best while you are still fresh and not about to go to sleep. As the day moves along, your metabolism starts to get sluggish, which is why it's best to eat earlier in the day. Give this diet a serious try. Keep it up for a month or six weeks. You will see results. |
