The Weight Loss Program That Worked For Me
July 17, 2008
I have had a lot of issues and problems with my weight. It has had a major effect on my life, it knocked my confidence and I had an all round low self – esteem.
A coadunate of years ago I decided to conclude something about it, to try to lose some of my excess fat. I had heard of many different types of diet most of which I felt were not sympathetic for me and even sounded disgusting.
I decided on self – help, doing it my way. I knew that exercise would need to be a factor, however was not willing to join a gym. Gyms seem full of people who are modern thin! I started to walk a lot more instead of ballsy everywhere, and started to play tennis again, even though I must admit am tasteful rubbish it. I am not exactly the most athletic person and this basically was all the exercise I did.
The main reason I was overweight was because of my poor diet. I like to eat the types of food you are told not to. I love pizzas, a curry, chips, peanuts and especially alcohol. Most people I knew would tell me to cut out all of these from my diet completely – get real! Sorry, that’s not possible, I enjoy them quite much.
I thought about what to do and decided that I would start to write down everything I ate. I would eat a healthy breakfast and then would try not to eat until lunch. I am somebody who loves to snack, eating crisps and chocolate especially. I knew that to not eat anything until lunch would be difficult but I had a outline. Whenever I felt hungry or a long for food I would eat a polo mint or if at home would clean my teeth. Sounds crazy but it worked for me! I would also not eat between lunch and my evening meal. The evening meal would be my biggest meal of the day and would work in anything I wanted including chips. On the weekend I would always rejoicing myself to a takeaway and would allow myself some alcohol.
This type of diet needs a lot of juice and crasis, however you do not have to do that much exercise or cut any type of food from your diet.
