Jay's Fruit Diet - Update

I don't know if any of you out there have tried Jay's "fruit for
breakfast and lunch" diet but I did and have these results to post:

I have been doing my own version of this for 6 weeks or so. I started
out for the first week or two doing exactly what Jay did. After 2 weeks
I could no longer eat fruit for every lunch so I started just trying to
be sensible about my lunch intake. I no longer am stopping at Taco Bell
and eating 1000 calories of that stuff for lunch. I also am only
allowing myself 1 can of regular soda per day instead of my usual 3 or
so. I then eat pretty much whatever I want for dinner and just watch my
portions.

Results: went from 200# to 189#. I think if I decide to throw a little
exercise in there I would probably drop another 10#. We'll see. I am
jsut happy as hell to be below 190#

Thanks Jay for starting me on this journey!!

Awesome, Jon! I didn't mean to start a new "Pilot's Diet" here, but what
the heck.

BTW: After several months, I'm still with it, and expect to be for life.
The strawberries at this time of year are awesome -- big as plums, and sweet
as candy. I'm munching on them all day long, am never hungry (I throw in
apples, bananas, and an occasional flavored rice cake once in a while, for
variety), my blood pressure is normal (the whole reason for starting this,
as you may recall) -- and, best of all, I'm at my target weight of 175
pounds!

I haven't weighed 175 since COLLEGE, 23 years ago. It's an amazing
feeling, having your pants fall off without a belt! :-)

23 pounds have melted away, almost without effort. I'm never hungry (did I
already say that?), and I still eat one "normal" meal each day, which can
include ANYTHING. Cake, pie, ice cream, beer, margaritas, fried chicken --
who cares? Whatever you want to eat, it's yours, cuz you've eaten nothing
but healthy fruits all day long, eliminating tons of fat and calories from
your diet.

Knowing that the "Reward Meal" is waiting at the end of the day makes eating
fruit easy -- especially when I'm literally gorging myself on the stuff.
And something interesting I've discovered: After a month or two of eating
fruit all day long, your capacity for greasy fried foods goes way down. You
would think I'd be absolutely stuffing myself with cheesecake at the end of
a "fruity" day -- but that's just not the case. I don't know if your
stomach shrinks, or if your tastes change, or what, but I'll sit down ready
to really go at it, and I'll be full LONG before I expected to be.

And, finally, no more Tums, Rolaids, or Prilosec every night, because I
don't have acid reflux anymore. That has been an unexpected and VERY nice
side effect.

I think I've stumbled across the easiest, most successful diet, ever.

The eye plays funny tricks at this hour of the morning. I would have SWORN
the first time I read this it said that "your testes change".

Well.... Jay did say "fruity" and.... "It's an amazing
feeling, having your pants fall off without a belt!"

Maybe!

You know, I expect this kind of stuff from the Left Coasters -- but
from a fellow-Wisconsinite?

That ain't right...

Hey, watch it with the left coasters comments there Mr. H. You just
happen to have a couple of them as paying customers in the next few
weeks! :-)

Glad to see a little infighting between the Midwest folks. You go Jim B!

I think your eyes saw the word "shrink" and you mind then saw what it
wanted to see.

"Pilot's diet?" Over the past few years, between the two of us, my wife and
I have shed about 60 lbs. That translates to an extra hour of cruise fuel
endurance when we're flying together in the Arrow with our usual mountain of
baggage.
