If you are overweight and find it difficult to stick to weight-loss programs, try this diet. We have never heard of a failure with this diet for those who genuinely make it part of their eating routine. It is natural, painless, and sensible.
The “10 Percent No Diet Diet” doesn’t require a change in what you eat, just a slight change in how much you eat. It will help you steadily lose weight for as long as you like.
The “10 Percent No Diet Diet” works in a similar way to the tithing (giving 10% to the church). It means you eat about 10 per cent less than you normally would. Take nine bites and leave the tenth. Cook nine spoonfuls instead of 10. Mentally divide your meal into 10 parts and give the tenth part to your dog (if one part looks bigger than the other nine, make sure the bigger one goes to the dog!)
It doesn’t seem much, but after 10 days you will have eaten only nine days of your normal food intake. If you are getting married in 10 months’ time, by the time your wedding arrives you will have eaten only nine months’ supply of food and will have saved a whole month of food bills and will fit better into your wedding outfit. If you make sure you do even simple exercise (such as walking briskly or bike riding for 30 minutes) and cut down on foods loaded with fat or sugar, it may contribute another 10 per cent or more weight loss.
This easy way to lose weight makes you think before you eat. You don’t cut down so much that you still feel hungry, yet you continue to eat what you eat now if you want to.
Simply buy less, cook less, and eat less. You will feel better while you save money and watch that excess weight slip off to reveal the real thinner, lovelier you! And, most importantly, write about it! Think about you eat, keep a journal of it, and every weekend read what you’ve eaten that week.
