The Plan
This is the food plan I used to lose 90 pounds. It absolutely works but its no picnic in the park. Its hard and restrictive but at the time I needed something strictly outlined for me with a goal. I still use the basic core knowledge I gained from this diet.. (small meals, protein, no gluten, etc.) but now Im incorporating real food from the real world to keep myself binded to making better choices.
With that being said…. I felt obligated to post this as it really really does work and it worked for me… and hell, it could work for you?
This was created by a famous trainer/nutritionist ;-) that when combined with 30 minutes of exercise a day, you can realistically lose 25 lbs in 6 weeks. No gimmicks… its all pretty basic and just hard work.
When i do this, the thing that always helps me is to keep saying… “its only 6 weeks” in my head. When you think about it, thats not really that long? We can do that!

Things you need to know…….
1. Absolutely no salt! DO NOT ADD SALT – salt makes your body retain water and actually stimulates appetite
2. Invest in a good non-stick pan and cook your food in water or low sodium chicken stock.
3. If you exercise… the meal you eat before exercising you get an extra ½ Cup carb.
4. The use of spices (that don’t have salt) are a very good flavor enhancer. Mrs. Dash is an excellent product. The sundried tomato basil makes spaghetti sauce unbelievably good!
5. Also SPLENDA/Stevia is also a lifesaver on this diet
6. No Dairy! No cheese, no milk, no yogurt, no sour cream, no DAIRY!
7. Drinks: Water, Tea, and Coffee…. NO DIET POP!, NO FRUIT JUICE, NO Milk
8. As with pretty much every other diet you have ever been on… Drink AT LEAS 64 oz. of water a day … This helps flush toxins (which are stored in fat) out of your body.
I have shared this with co-workers and family and friends and all have had the same results…. lots of weight loss. So to all my Tumblr friends, instead of paying hundreds of dollars for this information, here ya go :-)
