diet tip for FFN's

[spazlabz]

WATER!
I am so serious here, it may not work for everyone, but I started a diet recently that has me eating 5 meals a day and drinking a gallon of water. here is the thing; I ate the 5 prescribed meals but I cheated like freaking crazy! You know.. eat healthy all day and when your sitting in the recliner at night ya want a snack..... I snacked!

But I swear almost daily i can feel my clothes getting a little looser. It is kind of freaking me out.

My wife is doing it and noticing very positive results too.

Yes...All that water does not stay in the body long heh heh but so far the extra trips to the water closet has been worth it.

I've been on Nutrisystems for three weeks. Same kind of thing, three small meals plus snacks mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and in the evening. Plus a minimum of 64 oz. of water per day. As of this morning's weekly weigh-in I've lost a total of 20 lbs. so far, but still a long way go.

I considered NutriSystem myself Toby
for me the decision was based on cost and convenience. I am using StaxSystem and the benefit to me is that the food can be bought at the grocery store so the whole family can eat the same or similar things.. my kids have to have a slightly high caloric intake since my youngest is still growing and my oldest is in good shape.

That way I am able to remove as many temptations as possible and will slow down on the cheating
however, my plan is also that when I have a sweet tooth craving to hit the multi grain mini delights from Quaker.. The freaking chocolate drizzle and cinnamon streusel are incredibly good. And if you wash them down with a fair amount of water they will fill ya.. well me.. up for hours

Man, I wholeheartedly agree with this water tip - I don't diet, but anytime I drink more water, I notice weight comes off really fast.

good for you toby. What are u paying for ns?

all you really need to do is eat 5-6 sensible meals every day. NS makes it convient if u dont want to deal with cooking.

Ive lost 50 pounds to date. fucking last 10 are a bitch though =(

Since I'm on their auto-reorder plan I get a 10% discount plus free shipping. My cost is $319 every four weeks, so $80/week. I also get a fifth week of food in each of my first three shipments. That was the promo they were running when I signed up.

I'd spend at least half that or more at the grocery store to replace those entrees if I weren't using NS and that not counting the cost of eating out or delivery pizza at least once a week, which I just don't do any more. I figure it's costing me $25 to $35 per week.

I'm a notorious nibbler while I cook, and portion control is a major issue. That's what made me decide to go with a plan like NS rather than fix the same kinds of things myself as I've tried to do several times in the past.

I think the food is reasonably tasty, and I have some options for go-withs at each meal. (perishables like fruits & veggies, whole wheat bread, brown rice, dairy, etc.)

So far so good, but I have another 18-24 months to go to reach my goal.

Good luck Toby it definitely sounds like you have a plan that is working for you bro and keep it up.

Lots of water is definitely a must when dieting. and all those extra trips to the wc counts as exercise
