• What’s wrong with most diet plans, and how to make healthy changes with the minimum of pain.
  

  Personally, the actual 12 steps from food-based (and other) 12-step programs worked better for me. I tried controlling my eating with various rules about what to eat, and found that it didn’t stick until I dealt with the core beliefs and feelings that led me to…

  Red meat is fine, and absolutely no reason whatsoever to cut out seafood or poultry. In fact, seafood is probably one of the more healthy foods you could ever eat. To even suggest cutting it out is flat out stupid.

  The rest of the stuff, yes, but this is simply vegan spam. Buried.

  A vegan diet will make you grow moobs. You will also start perioding all over the place.

  Its not as hard to eat reasonably as people think. This is my typical daily diet.

  5:15am granola bar (carbs for energy for the gym)
  7:15am Protein Shake
  7:30am Bowl of Oatmeal, high in fructose and carbs, energy and insulin spike for protein synthesis
  9:00am South beach diet meal replacement bar (20g protein, 200 calories)
  12:00 Either a 8-10oz salmon fillet, or 10oz chicken breast with 1 1-2 cups of brown rice or whole wheat pasta
  3:00 Either a can of tuna, some vegetables, or some fruit
  6:00pm Pretty much same as lunch
  9:00pm 1 1/2 - 2 cups fat free cottage cheese.

  Now keep in mind, I’m a heavy gym goer, the above diet is for me, as its a bit above my maintenance levels for building muscle, but at the same time losing fat. I have some before and after pictures if you don’t think it works.

  Most people think that in order to eat healthy, you have to eat shit you won’t like which is complete bullshit. Your problem is based on the fact that you have acquired the love for the stuff that ISN’T healthy for you, IE: taco bell, McDonald’s, etc.

  Another thing to keep in mind when you change your lifestyle in regards to eating.
  1. Don’t think of it as a diet, it makes it tedious and you will likely fall off the wagon in a short amount of time.
  2. You can have a cheat meal or two a week and its not going to kill you.
  3. Go get some exercise, all it takes is 30 Min’s on a treadmill, 3x a week and it will make a huge difference.
  4. Treadmill not your thing? Look into HIITS, this is almost guaranteed to make the fat fall off you, but its not for the squeamish, its rough, but takes 10-15 minutes opposed to 30-60 minutes.

  Hope some of this is useful to someone out there. If you have any questions, send me a message.

  Also, egg yolks and read meat are actually GOOD for you.

  The title should be renamed to: A 12-step program to becoming a Vegan.

  Penn and Teller have thoroughly proven that 12 step programs are BULLSHIT!

  Oh dear. Another diet. I’m so taking a leaf out of my Grand mother’s book. She lived to be 89 and she had never been in worse health when put on a diet at seventy. After she told the doctor and everyone who protested what they could do with their precious diet she perked up no end!
