Just don't stop eating.
- Eat twice as much protein than you currently do.
- Decrease your sodium intake as low as you possibly can
- Decrease your carb intake, if you eat carbs, eat complex carbs (brown rice)
- Increase your vegetables
- Drink 2 liters of water a day
So ... Cook a boat load of beef/chicken/pork on the BBQ with no salty barbeque spice/sauce. While the grill is still hot, cook up some vegetables.
Go with about a pound and a half of protein per day (split into 5 servings - breaky-snack-loonch-snack-dinner). Every time you eat the protein, eat double to amount in veg. Have your carbs at breakfast and lunch.
Make about 5 days worth to get you through the work week.
At the end of the day, have one glass of wine or beer. (This is your Fruit/Sugar - good before bed)
Do this 6 days a week, pick one day to eat a moderate amount of whatever you want.
What is described above is the basics of :
- The Six Week Body Makeover
- The Atkins Diet
- The South Beach Diet
- The Paleo Diet
- etc etc
They are good for dropping the weight quickly. Once you are where you want to be, change it up a little.
Yeah, I was thinking along these lines. I have done it before when such times have came upon me!
It works that much is for sure. I tend to save up my beerings for a saturday :O)
I like walking into work with almost a pound of meat, then explaining that I am on a diet. The most common response is ... "How much did you eat before!?!?"
Once you speed up your metabolism, you can eat anything.
That is very true. Walking into work with a pound of meat is a good thing. In my work they would think me a savage, we have no cooking facilities!! hehe
