How I Lost 51 Pounds In 4 Months Using The Simplest Diet Plan In The World

Like many people Ive been on dozens of diet plans over the years ranging from Atkins to South Beach to Weightwatchers to Jenny Craig and lots more besides. In fact, Ive eaten enough cabbage soup to satisfy a small country! Im 5 feet 10 and I used to weigh 230 pounds and needed to lose a good 50 pounds to get myself in some short of shape. And then it hit me. Its seems so logical now and so simple but I had ignored the simplest weight loss solution of all. Heres how I discovered it.

I was over in the UK on vacation and saying with an Aunt. We were having tea together and my Aunt was watching her favourite daytime TV show called “Today with Des and Mel.” The host, a rather charming guy called Des OConnor was being asked how he stayed so trim and slim and indeed virile at aged 70 (he had just once again become a father) and he gave me the simplest weight loss solution I have ever heard. In fact youd be seriously challenged to find a fitter and more vibrant looking 70 year old anywhere on the planet.

Dess answer was that he only eats one meal per day in the evening, and in fact eats as much as he wants at that one meal sitting. During the day he may well graze on a bit of fruit and naturally drinks plenty of fluids but he swears by the plan and has done for over 40 years.

This seemed so simple and ridiculously easy and I was very doubtful whether it would work for me. However, its based on pure logic. By missing out on significant calories during the day, the body makes up for it in the evening and then stores up calories to keep you going the next day until your evening meal. However, Im no scientist or doctor and Im only interested in results. Heres how it worked for me.

Week One was a little challenging. I did nibble on the odd cookie to keep me going with my morning black coffee. I missed the social aspect of lunch but contented myself with knowing that I was doing my health and body a huge favor. In week one I lost 6 pounds and in the first month 15 pounds dropped off my body! However, having been on many diet programs over the years I was worried it could all come back.

With this in mind I started a gentle walking program in the evenings after my meal of the day and this really helped me with my energy levels. I really didnt want to visit a gym or stress myself by running.

I was eating everything I wanted in the evenings, including ice cream and lots of ribs and fries etc. However, after the first month my body seemed to start regulating itself and I didnt seem to crave these heavy rich foods as much. I think my body started to learn that it needed to eat well and wholesome in the evenings so it could get through the next 24 hours.

In month two I dropped another 13 pounds. In month three I lost a further 12 pounds and in month four another 11 pounds making for a total weight loss of 51 pounds in FOUR months. Truly amazing. Im still staggered by it.

I dont recommend this plan for life and have slowly reintroduced a healthy breakfast and a very light lunch. Its a truly great plan for losing excess weight quickly though – and works like nothing Ive ever tried before.

One year on and Im still at my target weight of 180 pounds. I still do my walking exercise most evenings and feel 1000% better with loads more energy. Ive recommended this plan to dozens of friends and I have to say its worked for 90% of them. Give it a shot, the odds are that itll work great for you too! Check with your doctor first though to be safe.
