Diet of the Week
 

So we guys here about all sorts of different diets that you girls are on -- everything from lemon juice and maple syrup to 100% protein... what's the latest floating around the houses these days? Is it working?

Actually I started doing this every-other day thing.

No starving, and you don't feel deprived.

Basically, every other day I go vegan having little or no oil, no bread, and no granulated sugar. There is a LOT that you can have actually and there are no limits on how much food (but being sensible is wise).

The other days, I eat normal food and just don't go crazy (eat normally).

I have lost two dress sizes in 3.5 months without adding additional excercise (time is valuable).

So, this will help you loose weight in a safe and sensible manner without being too fast or too slow. It also doesn't cost much and is super easy. Yay!

hmmm... sounds reasonable enough. :) So what do you eat on those days?

Actually, my school does a really good job with making things Vegan.
(We were in the top 10 schools this year for that).

If there isn't really anything I want or looks appetising, I'll have a salad.
The salad would be the spring greens with anything else in it - usually tofu too- and either fat-free dressing or Balsamic vinegar with no oil(which I prefer). For dessert I will occasionally have fruit juice sorbet or my school has a vegan chocolate cake that is made with ground barley and corn flour without usingsugar to sweeten it ( a whole slice is only 90 cal!).

In the morning I make a soy protein shake or smoothie using whey protein powder and soy milk (mix cholate soy w/chocolate whey powder and a bit of ice - it tastes just like a milkshake with less than 200 cal!).

Substituions make a big difference and I have never found a diet I could commit to before this because I made it up for myself. Use it if you want too.

Be fore-warned the first day you will be going back and forth from the bathroom like 10X's - but I dicovered later that is really just your body flushing stuff out.

Uh, not to be rude or anything...But what does this have to do with Greek Life?

Good luck with your diet at any rate :confused:
