My other Weight Loss “Secret”

I have tried a few diets, but nothing really worked consistently. So, somehow I developed my own approach and that seems to work – at least for me. I am not saying this is the best diet ever nor am I trying to sell it or so. This is just the average Jane writing about her her diet success. My approach to diet is to start with the initial weight loss program and then move into the maintaining weight process. So, here is how I lose weight in a way that really does not keep me hungry and still allows me to snack every once in a while. Stay tuned in for the next few blog postings. I will break out the day into a few sections to allow for easier reading and enough detail. Here is a sample day.

Breakfast to Lunch Time

I eat a large bowl of Kellogs Special K mixed with fresh Blueberries, Bananas, or Strawberries. I don’t care about what the packaging says for the calories and how much I am allowed to eat. I mix it so that I am off to a good start and not starving before I leave the house. I use fat-free Lacto-Free milk. Normal fat free milk might do for you, I am just slightly allergic to normal milk and found that the lacto-free milk is better for me. Again, mix it to a portion you feel comfortable with – ignore the packaging recommendation. I counted my portion and I am probably around 250 – 300 calories per breakfast.

This usually carries me easily to lunch time with two small snacks along the way (to keep the metabolism running). When starting this diet it will take about a week before the hunger feeling during morning hours will disappear. I used to feel hungry after two hours again with my normal breakfast. Switching to fruit mixed with Special K and fat free milk has changed that and I am able to push longer before being really hungry again. Two small snacks along the way help to keep the hunger completely under control.
