OK... So J and I decided to go on a diet thingy a couple weeks ago (just to try it, neither one of us really NEEDS to diet). If you think back to our month of being vegetarian you will find the motives behind the diet to be very similar. We love the challenge.
This diet boasts that you can lose 10 lbs in 10 days. It really does work, but the one biggest problem with this diet- it's SO BORING!!! I mean, I've never done such a boring diet and I've tried quite a few over the years (mostly with my mom). J figured out that on this diet we were averaging about 600-800 calories per day (around 6 pts for all you Weight Watchers). So we made the executive decision to stop after 8 days because it obviously worked (I had lost 10 lbs by then) and it was badly affecting our moods. I'll put it at the end of this post just in case you want to give it a try. Seriously, it works.
One definite bonus: we learned how to make a few really simple, good tasting, low-calorie meals; we found a really great kind of cottage cheese; and rediscovered our love of salads.
We also had to drink alot of water on the diet.............. These pics are from day 5 at a work party at a bar when everyone else was drinking alcohol and eating sliders and stuffed potato skins and french fries.... dear God, the french fries....
