New Year weight loss plans ???

The meat part is interesting. I guess this is the ongoing debate. I'm
not sure how the biology works (whether our bodys are better off eating
fruit or meat as the current debate argues). However, I will say that
after eating a 10oz lean steak I am done, and have no desire to eat for
at least 10 hours. If I eat turkey or fruit (of about the same cals)
I'm ready to eat again in an hour. Maybe there is something to the meat
diet thing??

Dunno. But after eating fruit for this long, a ten-ounce steak now gives me
terrific indigestion.

In fact, if I eat a lot of rich, fatty foods -- beef, pastries, whatever --
it will be a "3-Rolaid" night...

IMHO, that's my body telling me something important.

Just curious Jay, how does this diet affect your energy level? I eat a
lot of fruite and vegetable, but I also eat a whole lot of meat and
grain also.

I eat all the fruit I want for breakfast and lunch. Apples, bananas, pears.
Throw in a low-fat yogurt, and some flavored rice cakes, and that's pretty
much my entire diet for the day...

....until dinner, when I eat what most people would consider an entirely
"normal" evening meal. It may contain meat, sour cream, beer -- pretty much
anything. Tonight it was a PB&J sandwich, bowl of beef vegetable soup, and
some chips, washed down with a Killian's Red. Yesterday it was a Hardee's
mushroom & Swiss burger with fries and a malt.

Although I would prefer to make lunch my "big" meal of the day, I've found
that the evening meal is more likely to be a social event, and people just
don't seem to understand when I whip out an apple at a dinner.

Energy. My energy level has never been higher. In fact, when I fall
off this diet (as I did at Montblack's over T-Giving, and at my
sister-in-laws over Xmas), I feel sluggish and dim. Aside from the weight
loss and blood pressure correction, the main advantage of the fruit diet is
that I feel much sharper after eating fruit then I do after eating a big,
fatty meal.

Too spendy, in time and money. Give me 10 minutes for $10 and I might do
it - once. They wanted, maybe, $50 for 30 minutes.

Hope the links hold

Mmmmm....Monica. She was sweet, and so were those shakes!

4 pounds in 3 days, my friends. You would think that shopping in the Mall
of America would have burned off SOME of those extra calories...?

I gonna give your diet a try for a few weeks to see how much I loose
and if I like it or not. I'm hovering around 2 bucks right now and I
think I should be around a buck fifty. I'll let you know how it turns
out.

If you like good apples (Golden Delicious are the most consistent, IMHO)
it's hard NOT to like this diet.

Of course, after reading how spicy you like your food, this whole fruit
thing might be too bland for you...

(I was raised on bland German-American food. Dad thought pizza was "foreign
food", and spaghetti was downright subversive. I don't think he ever ate
Mexican, not even once, and Asian food of any kind was completely out of the
question.... Meat....potatoes....meat.....potatoes....ad infinitum...for
74 years...)
