A Simple Plan!

I want to talk some more about this diet by Tim Ferriss. I am still working on doing the 20 pounds in thirty (30) days Click Here!
He states it is possible to do this with diet, exercise and a supplement regimen. I don’t really care about losing 20 pounds that fast. I would be happy with ten (10) pounds!

This diet is a variation of the “slow carb” diet. Click Here!

It really is a simple diet. All I have to do is remember these four (4) things:

No white carbohydrates.
Eat the same foods over and over. This keeps it simple.

Do not drink your calories. Eat them but do not drink them. Drink water, tea or coffee, no cream, no sugar, no sodas. Click Here!

Choose one day a week. Take that day OFF! Eat and drink whatever you want that day!

Remember to eat from this list of foods. If you go out to eat, substitute a salad or veggies for potatoes or rice. Click Here!

PROTEINS: egg whites with one whole egg for flavor, chicken breast or thigh, grass- fed organic beef, and pork

LEGUMES: lentils, black beans, pinto beans

VEGGIES: spinach, asparagus, peas, mixed veggies

Eat all of these you want and eat four (4) or five (5) meals per day.
Click Here!

On your day off you can eat cake, candy, chips, whatever you want to eat!

Mix and match foods from the list of foods you can eat . Have fun ! Remember life goes on whether you are skinny or FAT! Enjoy every moment because it does not last long!

God Bless!

I'm Swimming In a Sea of Food!

Everywhere I look I see food. I sometimes think I am hallucinating, but then if I am why is it that I can walk over and get a plate of food and eat it? There is no easy way to diet. I do not care what anyone says, it takes a lot of stamina to say NO to the foods you love day after day! Click Here!

How does it happen that food gets such a hold on you? For years I was thin but one day I woke up fat and I have been fighting the fat everyday since. I have been on diet after diet ever since. It never lasts. I lose some pounds, gain more back. Then I weigh more than I did to start out with.Click Here!

This time I am trying to change the way I eat period. I am eating healthy, low fat or no fat food, with a few of the good carbs thrown in. I am staying away from sugar, sodas, and all sugary foods like ice cream. Boy do I miss it. I am eating veggies, fruits, whole wheat bread and some proteins. After I stay off the sugar and fried foods for a while it gets easier and I do not miss it so much. I have even lost some weight. Click Here!

I read a lot and last week I read that drinking water can boost your metabolism and help you shed pounds. It stressed that a lot of times we think we are hungry and actually, we are thirsty. There have been studies done that show drinking about a pint of water boosts your metabolism by as much as 24 to 30 percent. Based on this study, drinking this much water over the period of a year could burn about 18000 calories which would burn 5 pounds in a year. This is another reason to drink water.

You know a great way to eat your veggies is in those steamer bags. They are easy to carry for lunch and easy to steam and even easier to eat! They taste good and they fill you up. Fruits are great for you to eat also. If I cannot find fresh fruit, I buy frozen and they taste fresh once you thaw them. Lunch for me is a steamer bag of veggies and some fruit for dessert. Click Here!

I have been doing this for about the last 7 months and I have lost 56 pounds. But let me tell you one thing, do not get off the diet. Once you get off and start eating all that junk food and sweet stuff again, it is hard to get back on the diet and you will gain weight. So do not even think about getting off the diet. stay on it and get thin!

This is a few tips to you from me! I just want you to know if there was a way to eat everything you love, and lose weight I would be on it! The best way to do it, is get on a diet and stick with it and you will grow thin! Click Here!



So Happy dieting!

Life on a Diet! Pass the Salad Please!


Another day one ounce lighter! Boy what a difference that makes. I feel thinner already. Only the rest of my life to go!

It is not a diet. Click Here!It is a way of life! Boy that makes it easier to take! Whatever you say. Whatever you call it. It is still a diet! Why is it when I think diet, I automatically want ice cream? Get over it!

I am eating healthy one day and fasting the next. It is easier than living 7 days on a diet. Click Here! It works for me so I deal with it. One day I will be thin again.

I have decided that eating is an addiction. I am a food addict! I love most foods and ice cream, in particular. There is nothing in the world that tastes as good as Blubell Homemade Vanilla Ice cream! But there are several things I must do to get thin and here they are:
* Stay away from sugar.
* Eat lots of vegetables. Steamed veggies are very healthy and good for you.
* Eat 3 fruits per day.
* Stay away from fats, especially trans fats and saturated fats.
* Eat soup and salads. Use low fat salad dressings.
* Exercise.

I can do this because I want to do this. I will feel better and be healthier! Click Here!


So pass the salad please and have some yourself!

Have a great day and take care.

Make Mine a Banana Split Please!


I know I am on a diet. I am on a mission to lose weight. It is the most difficult thing I have ever done. I quit smoking 20 years ago with less pain than I have with dieting. When I think the word diet, I immediately think Banana Split. Click Here!



Split my banana in half lengthwise and top it with 3 different kinds of ice cream and top it off with whip cream. I will have my banana all dressed up if you please. Oh, yeah, don't forget the pecans. Click Here!


In my life as a fat woman I have spent 75% of that time trying to get thin! Click Here! I have not succeeded yet. I keep trying but I can relate to an alcoholic or a drug addict. I am addicted to food. All kinds of food. I think diet and I want a buffet table set up with hamburgers, French fries, fried fish, baked potatoes, sour cream, cheese, chicken fried steak, ice cream, bananas split lengthwise, pecan pie, pumpking pie, potato salad, BBQ ribs, pork loin, everythimg. All kinds of food. Bring it on right now!

Why should I go on a diet? Click Here! I love food too much to think about dieting. I gave up smoking but I cannot give up my food. I know I weigh too much, my cholesterol is too high, my blood sugar levels are skewed, my blood pressure is too high and I am pre- diabetic. However, that is all that is wrong with me. Otherwise I am perfectly healthy.

But I keep remembering what the doctor said. You have to get hold of yourself. You have to lose weight, get your cholesterol lower and your blood pressure lower and and etc...

I might as well crawl in a hole and die! Well at least I can eat until I die. Hi, I am Lucy Peacock. I hold teaching credentials and math degree. Click Here!


But I might die sooner if I do not get on a diet, right? So I will give it one more shot. I will try that low GI diet Click Here! I have been reading about. It is suppose to help me lose weight, lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and blood pressure. I can probably lose 20 pounds in a week. So here goes.

What's for Dinner? Diet I Bet!


I woke up this morning and realized it was another diet day. One day I eat and one day I diet. The dog gets to eat every day! Where is the justice in that? So I just got up and took the dog for a walk. At least the dog was getting thin and trim! Click Here!

I have been on a diet for most my adult life. There is no easy way to diet. The minute I decide to go on a diet, I want some Bluebell ice cream and I cannot get the thought out of my mind! I am addicted to Bluebell ice cream. So is the dog.

Diets Click Here! come and diets go. I hate all of them. I just want to wake up skinny in the morning. It is very hard to avoid all the foods I love. I mean who wants to think about spending the rest of their life without eating a chicken fried steak with french fries?

But I apologize. I am just feeling sorry for myself. I am having a pity party! But instead of getting me some Bluebell ice cream, I am going to go eat a banana. Wow! A banana, just what I want! Click Here!


I keep thinking all I have to do is eat healthy, avoid sugar, eat more fruits and vegetables, and exercise! Well, I am starting my day today with the exercise! I shall go walk the dog right now! That always perks me right up, makes me feel better, and it's a fun way to exercise. We meet such nice people along the way!

So eat, drink and be merry, but keep it diet Click Here!
and take the dog with you so you will walk faster!

Have a nice day. Hope I meet you on the dog trail!
