Jay's Fruit Diet - Update
I don't know if any of you out there have tried Jay's "fruit for
breakfast and lunch" diet but I did and have these results to post: I have been doing my own version of this for 6 weeks or so. I started out for the first week or two doing exactly what Jay did. After 2 weeks I could no longer eat fruit for every lunch so I started just trying to be sensible about my lunch intake. I no longer am stopping at Taco Bell and eating 1000 calories of that stuff for lunch. I also am only allowing myself 1 can of regular soda per day instead of my usual 3 or so. I then eat pretty much whatever I want for dinner and just watch my portions. Results: went from 200# to 189#. I think if I decide to throw a little exercise in there I would probably drop another 10#. We'll see. I am jsut happy as hell to be below 190# Thanks Jay for starting me on this journey!!

I didn't mean to start a new "Pilot's Diet" here, but what the heck. BTW: After several months, I'm still with it, and expect to be for life. The strawberries at this time of year are awesome -- big as plums, and sweet as candy. I'm munching on them all day long, am never hungry (I throw in apples, bananas, and an occasional flavored rice cake once in a while, for variety), my blood pressure is normal (the whole reason for starting this, as you may recall) -- and, best of all, I'm at my target weight of 175 pounds! I haven't weighed 175 since COLLEGE, 23 years ago. It's an amazing feeling, having your pants fall off without a belt! :-) 23 pounds have melted away, almost without effort. I'm never hungry (did I already say that?), and I still eat one "normal" meal each day, which can include ANYTHING. Cake, pie, ice cream, beer, margaritas, fried chicken -- who cares? Whatever you want to eat, it's yours, cuz you've eaten nothing but healthy fruits all day long, eliminating tons of fat and calories from your diet. Knowing that the "Reward Meal" is waiting at the end of the day makes eating fruit easy -- especially when I'm literally gorging myself on the stuff. And something interesting I've discovered: After a month or two of eating fruit all day long, your capacity for greasy fried foods goes way down. You would think I'd be absolutely stuffing myself with cheesecake at the end of a "fruity" day -- but that's just not the case. I don't know if your stomach shrinks, or if your tastes change, or what, but I'll sit down ready to really go at it, and I'll be full LONG before I expected to be. And, finally, no more Tums, Rolaids, or Prilosec every night, because I don't have acid reflux anymore. That has been an unexpected and VERY nice side effect. I think I've stumbled across the easiest, most successful diet, ever. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Over the past few years, between the two of us, my wife and I have shed about 60 lbs.

I think your eyes saw the word "shrink" and you mind then saw what it
wanted to see. RST Engineering wrote: The eye plays funny tricks at this hour of the morning.

I've been calorie counting myself. I stepped on the scales a while
back and it shockingly said 238 lbs. That's higher that I had ever been in my life, so I've relegated myself to 1800 calories per day. Doesn't matter what I eat. I can have a burger if I want; milkshake if I want; 5 Mountain Dews per day if I want. The only catch is I look at the Nutrition labels on the back of EVERYTHING (and I only eat at restaurants that publish their Nutritional Data). I do the math to figure out the # of cals in everything I eat, then write that down. Once I make it to 1800 - time to stop eating for today. I can still drink all the water I want (and if I get REALLY hungry I can eat dill pickles as they have almost no calories). I've managed to get down to 228 lbs now. It's slow going (weight usually drops off at around 1 to 2 lbs per week), but given that I can satisfy any craving I have, it makes it a lot easier to stick to. Though it's a ways off, I'm hoping to get back under 200 lbs (haven't been there in about 8 years). Of course this is all for piloting too. I've been looking at various homebuilt airplanes, and quite a few of the single seaters that I'm interested in (namely the Nieuport 11/17 replicas) don't look like they would lift me + full fuel off the ground . I'm hoping to improve that situation LOL. |

Congrats to both of you! Notice any change in fuel burn?
I lost 40 pounds over the last couple of years. The Pitts is definitely more spritely at the top of the verticals than it used to be. I can do some cool gyro stuff I don't remember doing before!
