My Weight Loss Plan - The Method Behind the Madness

    Hey, All!  Now that you have read my first blog post, "How to Lose Weight for Real", and you may say, can I really lose weight doing this?  I would say yup, it worked for me!  I am going to tell you what is really happening when you lose weight according to my plan.  

 

    Stop ordering delivery - Do take-out or dine-in.  Delivery gets you food quick and easy, making it seem like a good choice.  But that just packs on the pounds quickly.  If you order take-out, it's not delivery, yaaay.  I don't even get pizza delivered, we have to go to Domino's and pick it up (carry-out).

 

    Fast food will pack on the pounds.  OK.  If I eat the Big Mac burger, its only 560 calories but most of the good tasting burgers are 1,000 plus calories.  Burgers are somewhat the enemy.  When I was bigger, I use to eat burgers everyday, I really don't know how much weight I gained, but I knew better.  One thing, you also can eat one that is home-made, but it replaces your monthly burger.  The beef patty is fattening any way you make it.  Remember, eat one only once a month.

Update: Turkey burgers are OK! Just no beef patties.

 

    Restaurants know the phrase "Fat equals flavor".  They need to put fat into the food to make it melt in your mouth.  The chemicals in the burger are also bad news.  With my plan, you eat one once a month from a sit-down or take-out restaurant.  Like, Chili's...etc.  You can eat that 1,000 calorie burger and still be on the right track. No fast food burgers, please, unless you have not had one in 2-3 months.

    For exercise:  Do up to 20 jumping jacks or less a day.  If you can't do 1 or 2 yet, just jump in place.  This is the secret exercise that has helped me lose all the weight.  It gets your heart pumping and tones you up.  Every time I go to the doctor, the nurse asks me am I doing any exercise.  I say I do 20 jumping jacks a day and they are pleased and say that I'm getting good cardio.  I don't do any other exercises.  I abhor the gym.  It's a tricky place.  You go and exercise all day, yet the pounds don't come off.  

    At the gym, you grow muscle, but muscle makes you weigh more.  I was the one with my family and I, going to the gym at 12 am in the morning, working out till we are pooped, and getting McDonald's french fries on the way back home.  Even without McDonald's, I rarely lost any weight. Remember this phrase, "It's all about the food".  All the exercises may not make you lose pounds.

 

       With eating on my plan, you can eat about anything except fast food (get a free day once in a while). Fast food can make you big really quickly.  When eating at home, you can eat almost anything.  If you know how to cook, great!  If not, someone else is probably cooking. The reason you are so free to eat, is because probably nothing in your kitchen will have as much calories in it as something from a fast food restaurant. 

Here are some more tips about why you can eat like this:

 

Breakfast - eat breakfasty food unless you don't have any.  I listed some foods on another post, like cereal. 

 

Snacks - I eat a bag of chips (individuals), cookies, a candy bar (yes, even Snickers), bagged snacks...etc.  Eat one snack at one time.   If chips or Cheez-its are in a large box, put your portion in a sandwich bag or paper towel.  This will give you a pick me up and it will keep you full.

Lunch - Try not to eat dinner for lunch, unless it is something that is lighter than a dinner meal.  The list is on my other post.  Sandwiches and chips, air fryed food, hot dogs, go to a casual sit-in or take-out restaurant.  You may not want to eat dinner for lunch because it is a heavy meal and you'll be too full to eat dinner later. 

Snack - same

Dinner - eat what you want that is take-out, dine-in or made at home.  

Dessert - of course!  Pies, cakes, ice-cream, Twinkies etc.  You can eat it because it gives you a treat after dinner.  You can get them from anywhere.

 

Snacks - I eat a snack before I go to bed.

Now, that I've told you the method to my madness, you can try my plan.  It seems impossible that this could work but it happened to me.  I say 'NO!' to some new healthy lifestyle, exercise forever, and eating extra healthy.  After this weight loss, I feel bad for overweight people who listen to professionals that say you have to change your life or you won't lose weight.  It hurts my heart every time I hear it.  

 

You are beautiful and handsome now, but losing weight is something you may just want to do, and its not impossible.   In the bible, I read that everything is impossible for men, but all things are possible with God.  Have fun!
