It's been awhile...time for a DIET!

I'm going to chronicle something that is slightly embarrassing to me, but if I put it out in the open I cannot back out of it or "cheat" if you will.  I have steadily gained some pounds since stopping a medication I was prescribed, which had the lovely side effect of helping decrease my naturally ravenous appetite.  In the end I lost weight and felt very comfortable with myself.  I think I needed a little aid to get back there, or start the process of getting back there.  I don't want to do it the unhealthy way or medical or OTC option to get me back to comfortable.  I'm just going to eat well.  I'm doing it the right way: diet and exercise.  


So what am I talking about?  The Kaiser Permanente diet plan.  Yes, Kaiser.  I was given this diet years ago (probably close to a decade) and I remember doing it, but never having the will power to complete it.  Thankfully, things have changed and I have a will power of steel, well perhaps aluminum.  I do, however, have a very supportive partner and parents so I think I can succeed at something for 3 days.  


So hear it is, the diet (the website I found it on also has user feedback, which I find helpful):

Day 1

• Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit, 2 tbs. peanut butter, 1 slice toast
• Lunch: 1/2 cup tuna, 1 slice toast, a coffee/tea
• Dinner: 3 ozs. meat, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup beets, 1 small apple, 1 cup vanilla ice cream

Day 2

• Breakfast: 1/2 banana, 1 egg, 1 slice toast
• Lunch: 1 cup cottage cheese, 5 saltine crackers
• Dinner: 2 hot dogs, 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

Day 3

• Breakfast: 1 hard boiled egg, 1 slice toast
• Lunch: 1 oz. cheddar cheese, 5 saltine crackers, 1 small apple
• Dinner: 1 cup tuna, 1 cup beets, 1 cup cauliflower, 1/2 cantaloupe, 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

Apparently with this diet you are supposed to loose 10 lbs in 3 days.  I'm not trying to go that extreme.  I've gained 6 lbs from the weight I've been for at least 6 months.  I haven't been eating well, which is a contributor.  I just want to drop a lb or 2 and I would be content. 


Off to buy groceries and then try this out.  Wish me luck!
