Tomorrow I start phase 2.

You could eat the whole thing. Take it from the diet queen, it&#39;s about calories and choices. You limit yourself to 1200-1500 calories a day. You could have a banana split! But nothing else the whole day. It&#39;s better to choose a balance of protein, carbs and sugars. Yes, sugars, as in fruit. And if you deny yourself totally, you will cheat, so one day waste a few calories on something bad you love. Within reason, or you&#39;ll be hungry later. <br />Don&#39;t eat a thing after 8:00pm. <br />Drink a lot of water, (carry a bottle with you).<br />By the way there is a hundred calories in a shot of vodka so liquids count too.<br />East all the cucumbers or pickles (not sweet) you want, carrots and celery too. I have tips for you. Free! then the hard part, keeping it off.Mary Ricksenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12676306822821614446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797552639458275193.post-88253991350927557352009-09-19T16:42:46.389-04:002009-09-19T16:42:46.389-04:00Good luck with the diet, Mona. My friend just started the Atkins diet. She had four eggs and bacon for breakfast, but can&#39;t have any carbs.Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040629694490652973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797552639458275193.post-16366550164549543772009-09-19T16:33:40.936-04:002009-09-19T16:33:40.936-04:00Thank you Donna for voting and for your good wishes about my diet. All the excercise I did last year didn&#39;t help but I plan to start Pilates next week, twice a week. This is my last hope.Mona Riskhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797552639458275193.post-63782898547378038732009-09-19T10:20:36.871-04:002009-09-19T10:20:36.871-04:00Hi Mona<br /><br />I just put in my vote for book of the week, then checked out your website and blog. Very nice. Diet is different for everyone, I lost 45 pounds in a year by walking (5 days a week for an hour, at a moderate pace-w/headphones and music)on my tread mill, and cutting bread from my diet. Now, I walk three times a week, for 40 minutes and am maintaining the weight I want. I wish you good luck with your diet. Take care, DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
