Successful Weight Loss!

A few years ago, a friend of mine at work needed to lose about 30 pounds.  She investigated all sorts of diets and came up with a plan.  She would eat cereal for breakfast with a piece of fruit.  Then for lunch she would bring chicken, steak, fish or tuna fish with a salad and some sugar-free Jell-o with Lite Cool Whip and eat sparingly at the evening meal. 

The first problem she encountered was eating with the rest of us in the break room.  We all had foods she was hungry for but couldn't eat on her diet.  So she went to the boss and asked if she could take her lunch hour from 11:30 to 12:30 so that she could eat and be finished before the rest of us came in with our tempting foods.  It was approved and that is what she did.  At 12:00 she would go back to her desk or go shopping until time to go back to work.  This worked out well for her.

I am not sure how much meat she ate, but I do know she would eat 1/4 of a chicken, usually the thigh and leg. She never ate any white meat of the chicken, I guess she didn't like it. She probably ate about 3 or 4 ounces of steak or fish. 

After about 3-1/2 months, she had lost her 30 pounds and was feeling good about herself and her accomplishment. 

I am not recommending this diet to anyone; this is simply what worked for her.  Losing weight is possible, it is revitalizing and refreshing when we have accomplished our weight-loss goals.
