On Sunday, Steve and I started our diet. We are going to try to do it for 6 weeks. It consists of eating about 1000 calories for three days and then on day four you get to pig out (2000 calories for women, 3200 for men). If you are perfect at following this diet you can lose up to 5 to 8 pounds each week. It is aimed at increasing your metabolism. This is basically the same diet that I did a year ago. So far I'm seeing promising results! Now to keep with it.
Last time this diet made me realize how much I was eating as well as the quality of the food I was eating. I had a hard time eating the 2000 calories because my stomach was use to having less.
As we were looking at the different exercises it is interesting to read how many people disagree with others. Have you heard that Lambert Adophe Jacques Quetelet came up with the BMI and he said it shouldn't be used to measure how fat or fit a person is? Interesting. This is one of the many things we've learned in our research. Most of the information seems to be up to the individual to find what works for them and what they enjoy.

Diet.....I hate that word....... :D
Good luck & more power to you, girl.
Let me know how that works out?!?!
I was going to ask you where you got K's birthday cake? Since you guy's are Albertsons lovers if you got it from the new store and if it was any good? Thanks
That is awesome!! I am the worst at sticking to a diet, so good job!!
Rachel: I know it's one of those awful four letter words.
Shauna: yes we got the cake from Albertson's/fresh market. It's the same quality as before.
Thanks Natalie and Cassi!
Every diet has its up and downs. Just be careful. 1000 calories isn't very much and if I went from that to 2000 I would have horrible stomach cramps. I've found that if you eat right and exercise you will be healthy and it won't matter how you look :)
Good luck with your diet. I keep thinking that I should do something but then I just decided to do nothing at all.
What would be your menu plan for 1000 calorie day? I MIGHT steal K's transformer cake idea for Allens birthday if you don't mind? MAYBE!
