DRASTIC DIET #2:

MORE WAYS TO JUMP-START YOUR WEIGHT LOSS!

When I was younger and wanted to lose weight quickly I would do all sorts of crazy things like fast for days at a time.

I’m too old for that nonsense now and I hope that if I treat my body well, it will be good to me too.

I planned this diet to last for one to two weeks. While I call it a "drastic diet", I purposely included what I thought would be healthy choices in smaller portions.

BREAKFAST:

Protein shake with 1 c. skim milk

or

Steel-cut oatmeal with 1 c. of skim milk

LUNCH:

½ cup brown rice, with 1-cup bean mixture*, and ½ cup spinach

DINNER:

1 ½ cups vegetable soup*, and smoothie made with fat-free yogurt, 2 oz. juice, and fruit.


*My “bean mixture” was a concoction that I put together with a can of garbanzo beans, a can of kidney beans, and a can of black beans. Drain and rinse the beans and put in a large bowl. Add diced onion, celery, red and/or green peppers, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and four tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Mix well keep cold. It will easily last for a week in the fridge! SEE RECIPE


*My “vegetable soup” was made in a large pot on Sundays and lasted the whole week. I would mix two large cans of petite-diced tomatoes with a box of low-sodium chicken broth. Add cut up onion, celery, carrots, yellow squash, zucchini, green peppers, mushrooms, etc. Don’t add potatoes, peas, or corn, as they’re higher in calories. I would season this with salt, pepper, garlic powder (or chopped garlic), basil, oregano, tarragon, etc. Make it to your taste. You can’t go wrong. SEE RECIPE
