#1 Resolution – Lose Weight (Day 4)

by Jack Lee

Today is day four and one of my favorite breakfasts has been oatmeal which is now going to be in my diet plan on a regular basis. I found that by mixing in cinnamon, raisons, bananas and substituting sugar with Equal or something similar, its very low cal, and it stays with you. Nutritionally this is very good breakfast.

Jack, I did Feather River Hospital’s Life Changes weight loss program. Its basically the 7 day Adventist diet with meat. A controlled portion of protein, 6 ounces, vegetables, 2 cups and a piece of fruit and water to drink. In 6 months I went from 286 lbs to 190 lbs. Exercise is not part of the program. It works for people in wheel chairs. You have to be watchful of calorie counts on food. You stay full by eating mostly vegetables that are very low calorie. I leaned to buy and cook only healthy whole foods. It is a like change in eating habits. I backslid sometimes. Going back to eating the right foods takes time to take the weight back off. My body mass index say that I should be 180 lbs. I never got that low. At 190 I think I am too skinny. I cannot get used to my face looking that thin in the mirror after all these years. About 200 lbs is perfect. I went from living in sweat pants and short because size 47 pants rolled down in the front when I wore them to size 32 jeans with no muffin top. It changed my life. I can never go back and because I know how to eat I never will. I used to believe that old myth that when you get past 50 the weight stays with you. It must have been started by fat people or people that sell processed food.
