Three times I’ve puffed up way past my healthy body weight. Three times I’ve brought it back down and it seems more hopeless each time!
The first time I managed to reduce my weight by starting to train karate. That worked just fine, even if I did have trouble going down stairs for awhile because my knees shook so bad.
The second time I restricted my meals to one ordinary portion of a meal; no seconds, no desert and that too was not bad but it took a longer time.
This time I was off training with back to back injuries for two years. Ouch! It seemed to be pretty hopeless until Pamela, my dear one, decided she had to do the South Beach Diet. She read the book and got the rational. She read the recipe book and told me, "These look good!" ignoring me when I glanced askance at her.
(When she ignores me I get to practice making faces at her - too much fun to resist, right guys? !)
So in August 06, I went on the diet and dropped 15lbs very easily and quickly. Then I went to phase 2 and hovered at the same weight until the next summer. Since I was not happy with where I was hovering, I got serious again with a strict phase 1 effort and have dropped another 20 lbs. in two months. It’s so easy I think I’ll keep going for 185, woo hoo!
Well, that’s my story and I recommend this book and diet for anyone wanting an easy and workable diet to lose some pounds. It is easily worth the money…
Just remember, a good workout three times a week is very beneficial too!
Here’s a sample recipe:
