3 months ago I decided to try an experiment. I wanted to lose weight but didn't really like the idea of a strick diet per say. I have never really been one to follow a lot of rules. The idea of weighing each portion and following a chart to see calories and fat etc... seemed like to much work. So instead at each meal, Breakfast, Lunch and dinner i would make my usual plate, then I would take 2/3 of everything off my plate and pass it over to my wife. I also eliminated completly any mid day or late night snacking.
Not sure if this is a real diet system or just a lazy mans way of cutting back, but either way after about 2 weeks I started to realize that I was actually feeling full at the end of each meal. I had an increased amount of energy and I was also sleeping more soundly and feeling more refreashed in the morning. The weight started to peal off, not as dramatically as I thought it would be a couple of pounds a week started dropping.
Today 3 months later, I go for a 4 mile walk with my wife every evening after dinner. I play golf on Sundays, although I'm not sure if that's reall exercise.
I have lost 24lbs and have never felt better. Not sure if this will work for others out there but the basic logic of it seems sound.
Good Luck to All!
