Hi Tom
Everything that Alice has said is exactly right. I was on a diet is was The
Ideal Weight Loss program. To begin with I had to buy their food, which
were maily shakes that you mixed with water. Later on as the diet
progressed you could include meat or protein into it. I think this is the
way it works: the more protein you had the better as protein burns fat and
thus builds muscle. A person on the diet I was on had to have 2 meals of
at least 6 onces of protein. Eggs also count as protein.
Good luck
Linda

Hi, Tom,
There are some simple things you can do to cut back on carbohydrates and
fats. If you get too hung up on exchanges it will be hard to continue
because you will become frustrated. Exercise common sense when planning
meals: have two vegetables and eliminate the potatoes and bread for
example. Have half a bagel instead of a whole one or only one piece of
toast instead of two. Oh and by the way: corn is a grain, not a
vegetable. One of those vegetables can be a salad. Be careful of those
so-called "lite" dressings that are low fat. They are high in sugar.
You're better off making your own salad dressing using good quality olive
oil, balsamic or red wine vinegar and herbs.
Eat whole fresh fruit, but be careful of the ones high in sugar, grapes
and bananas. The fiber in the whole fruit, such as an unpeeled apple,
digests more slowly and leaves you feeling satisfied for longer. With the
warm weather arriving, you can have salads as meals, a chef salad, or a
salad with cooked chicken or hard boiled eggs and a little cheese. You
can be creative.
Good luck!
Alice
