Booya, WooWoo!!!

Today's Weight: 179.0 lbs

Finally. lol...I have started a new diet that has helped me detox and start shedding weight again. Like I said before, it wasn't my exercise that was holding me back, it was my eating habits. I got this diet from my favorite magazine ever, FitnessMagazine.com

Ill just copy and paste. Ive made a few moderations to this diet to make it bearable...but here's the gist:


Dr. Flavor-Full's Diet
His Menu
Secret sauces and extra seasonings get the boot! Nutrition researcher David Katz, MD, won't overexcite his taste buds while trying to lose weight. "The more variety of foods and flavors you introduce, the more appetite is stimulated," Dr. Katz explains. "If your diet resembles an all-you-can-eat buffet, you're going to eat a lot." Dr. Katz also says that restricting meal options will help eliminate temptation. Redundancy is the safest bet.

Aim to consume 1,200 to 1,500 calories a day, and stick to the plan for four to six weeks, he advises. Take a multivitamin to get the proper nutrients. Adhering to this program for the full six weeks should help you shed up to 20 pounds, he notes.


Protein: Egg whites, beans, lentils, skinless chicken (white meat), white fish (e.g., flounder, tilapia), nonfat cottage cheese, walnuts, and almonds.
Carbs: Mixed greens, broccoli, spinach, mixed berries, whole-grain cereal from Kashi, Health Valley, or Nature's Path.
Fat: Olive and canola oils.
Beverages: Water is the mainstay.

Dr. Katz's Sample Daily Menu
Breakfast: Bowl of whole-grain cereal with skim milk and mixed berries

Lunch: Mixed green salad with lentils and egg whites

Dinner: Mixed green salad, grilled fish or chicken, cooked vegetables, and whole-grain bread, pasta, or grains

Snack: A mixed-berry salad or a handful of unsalted almonds or walnuts
