So Scott and I are going on the Dr. Phil Diet once more. We tried this diet a few years ago with much success...that is until Scott injured his knee and had surgery. Since that time, we've tried other diets and alternative but not with consistent success.
Our main goal is to simply eat healthier foods, replacing the junk foods with healthier choices along with portion control. Dr. Phil's diet will simply be a guide for us to follow in eating healthier - stocking our kitchen with High response cost, high yield foods - foods that take a great deal of effort to prepare and eat. So instead of quick fix foods - like frozen pizza or lasagne, canned vegetables, or frozen desserts - we've stocked up with fresh vegetables (green beans, yellow squash, black eye peas...) and fresh fruits (melons, grapes, apples, bananas, watermelon...) from the produce section/fruit stand. Our new eating plan includes fresh meats, even calling for some red meats, pork, fresh seafood (tuna), as well as chicken. Desserts aren't entirely eliminated - just replaced with healthier choices such as yogurt, frozen yogurt, fruits, etc...You can even have your tea and coffee under our new eating plan:-) And, we are even treating ourselves on the weekend with foods we enjoy, we're just not going overboard!
Scott has already lost 2 pounds this past week. Though I've not lost any weight, I am feeling much better because I'm eating healthier. I'm a sugarholic but I don't feel as though I've missed out on anything. I find that I am more satisfied with these healthier foods and not struggling with hunger issues.
Whether I lose any weight or not is unimportant - adapting a healthier diet is.
In His Love, Cathy
