Post #12 Diet News...

My wife and I have been using a specific diet plan for about a year and half. Of course, we don't always stick to it. Holidays and summer cookouts make it tough. But we have been trying for quite a while to get healthier. The diet is pretty simple: it basically is fresh fruit and veggies: no bread or processed foods. We can have some dairy and a little brown rice and oatmeal each day. Obviously you can drink as much water as you can handle and you supplement the diet with workouts.

Last year, I won a "Biggest Loser" contest at work, losing 30 pounds in about 3 months. I didn't gain it all back, but did put on some weight over the year: a two-week Guinness, fish and chips diet in Dublin will do that to ya'.

We are doing pretty well. We had some stir fry tonight with sugar snap peas, carrots, onion, and green peppers. Then we did a 40 minute workout, alternating on the cross trainer and weight training.

I feel good, and have more energy. Plus I hit a little milestone this week so that keeps me motivated! If you are looking for a diet plan and have not done well in the past, you might want to check out this plan.
