The Diet Based On Common Sense

In this article I am going to describe what I believe is the perfect diet, a diet built on common sense. I have attempted a number of different weight loss programs over the last few years, most with very little success. The problem with most of these diets was the fact that what they were expecting me to do and eat was just not practical and in certain instances, possible. I am more than happy with this common sense diet as it has not only helped me to lose a lot of weight, it has also enabled me to keep the weight off. I hope this diet proves as successful for you as it has for me.

The Common Sense diet

The first thing that you need to do with the common sense diet is to keep a diary or log of what you eat and drink in a typical week. On the first week, therefore, you need to eat and drink as normal. At the end of the first week you need to assess what you have eaten and drank, this is actually quite scary and eye opening. I could not believe how much I actually ate per week, I felt such a slob when I read it. You then need to think about which items you could do without for the second week, the aim is to reduce your food and alcohol intake by just ten percent.

Fatty foods must go

I decided that I could, I thought, quite easily do without chocolate, crisps and peanuts. I would also attempt to not drink alcohol on the Friday night as this would lead to a multiple of sins, calorie wise. On paper it seems so easy but in reality it was actually very difficult. I had to be very disciplined and determined as my demons regularly tried to tempt me to be naughty.

To be successful with any project you need to work hard and at times sacrifice certain things and attempting to lose weight is no different. I was desperate to attain a lower weight and therefore was willing to do almost anything.

What I had to remember was the fact that I was only going without ten percent of my normal food intake, this surely was not that dramatic.

I am happy to report that I have now reached my target weight and I have never felt so good.
