SHORT-TERM
DRASTIC DIETS TO
JUMP-START WEIGHT LOSS!

Over the next few pages, you will see several diets that will help you jump-start your weight loss efforts. Keep in mind that any time you severely restrict your food intake, you run the risk of vitamin deficiency. It's a good idea to take a multi-vitamin daily.

Several years ago, while on vacation in Jamaica with my friends, we created an eating plan that I hoped would end, once and for all, my struggle with food. Alas, it did not (big surprise!), however, it does fill in nicely when I need to lose weight quickly or when I need to jump start my weight loss efforts.

A few weeks prior to this vacation, my good friend, Lisa, had underdone gastric bypass surgery. After studying her new eating habits and talking back and forth, we developed the 5-4-3-2-1 Plan.

I have always been a volume eater. Given a choice of eating a small amount high-caloric food or a large amount of low-caloric food, I would choose the one that gives me the most volume.

I gave myself a time line of two weeks. I figured that I could do anything for two weeks. After about three days, I got “in the groove” and discovered that it wasn’t really so difficult at all.

I wasn’t hungry. I attributed that to waiting a minute between bites. The fourteen-bite limitation pretty much covered a typical frozen dinner, which indicated to me that that number of bites was considered a reasonable portion size.

I lost what I considered a reasonably significant amount of weight in two weeks, enough so that I decided the plan was a “keeper” for those times when I needed a drastic program to jump start my weight loss efforts.
