The Idiot Proof Diet

I thought I’d post a little diet update since I mentioned the Idiot Proof Diet about a month ago.

The Idiot Proof Diet is awesome!!

I’ve done Weight Watchers with very good success, and until now hadn’t found anything to surpass it. The reason this diet is so good is that you make all your food choices up front and it then spits out a menu for you. You don’t have to constantly be making choices about what you’re going to eat. That’s always been such a downfall for me as I have very little willpower. I could make pretty good choices when I was single, and didn’t have the regular temptation to finish my kid’s chicken nuggets and fries, or my husband’s every other night requests to go out to eat. But now, I find it almost impossible to stick to a diet.

Another nice thing about the diet is that you get to take several days off every 11 days. That makes it MUCH easier to say no to cookies or cake. I just tell myself, I can have that on my day off. It makes it easier to turn down knowing I can have it in several days if I want it. I’ve found that one day is enough. More than that, and I go a little too crazy with the food choices.

So… the 1 month results: I’ve lost about 12 pounds and that’s with very little exercise, some cheating and not doing as well as I should have, especially on days off. I still have a hard time resisting those chicken nuggets- gotta work on that.
