Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 's Daily MessageFridayJuly 07, 2006 DIET TALK Yesterday I went to the beauty supply store to buy my shampoo, and there I met 3 ladies who wanted to talk diets with me, and you know me; I can talk diets with the best of them! These ladies were each 50-100 pounds overweight, and I just knew they had been on trillions of diets before. The first lady was on the Cabbage Soup Diet. Have you tried it? Well, you make this soup filled with broth, vegetables, and cabbage, and you eat it at every meal. The cabbage works as a diuretic, and you go to the bathroom quite a lot. You also can get dehydrated quite a bit! You can only stay on this soup diet for one week at a time. Me? I stayed on it one day! LOL! The second lady ate only one meal a day at around 3:00 PM. She told me a friend of hers was on this diet and lost lots of weight. Hey, I tried the One Meal a Day Diet decades ago! This one put me in a very bad mood because I felt punished. No breakfast, no dinner? I`m outta here! The third lady was doing her liquid thing. She drank five shakes a day and ate two diet cookies. I went and tried the magical diet shakes, too, and I was on them for four months. I lost quite a bit of weight and really didn`t look that great. The minute I went back to solid foods, you know what happened. I told these ladies that they were all on weight loss plans that were unrealistic to stay on. How long can one exist on soups, shakes, and starvation? I told them they didn`t really understand what to eat to lose weight the safe and realistic way. I went over the food groups with them and pointed out the best choices in each of the groups. I gave them examples of meals that were satisfying and that would keep them on program. I also invited them to come to a class at Slimmons. I know we all get tempted to overeat, and we also get tempted to try a fast way to lose weight, but you know the right way to lose weight! I know you are stronger now to face your temptations and say no. Say yes to your FoodMover today! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
