Live and Let Diet
I’ve been trying to lose 30ish pounds now for some time and nothing has really inspired me to continue any eating plan. But last week Heidi and I were watching Alton Brown (which we do love so) and he laid out an eating plan that seems simple enough to follow. I will eat from the daily list every day, the 3 times a week at least that often, from the once a week list no more than that and the never list… well, never.
Daily
- Fruits
- Whole Grains
- Leafy Greens
- Nuts
- Carrots
- Green Tea
3 times a week
- Oily Fish
- Yogurt
- Broccoli
- Sweet Potato
- Avocado
Once a week
- Red meat
- Pasta
- Dessert
- Alcohol
Never
- Fast Food
- Soda
- Processed meals/frozen dinners
- Canned soup
- “Diet” anything
Eat breakfast every day, no exceptions.
Like I said, I haven’t been able to stick to a real plan, but this one seems simple enough. Plus, I still get some great food. Like his Sherried Sardine Toast.
