The biggest reason for trying the Plan Diet.. is because, well I'll tell you later.
The Plan Diet seems to be the latest fad diet on the market. Reviews are for the most part positive. The PD plan is fairly simple. Start with simple foods and work other foods into your diet plan.
According to the PD we are FAT because of reactivity to foods. Well some comes from overeating of course and lack of exercise for sure but .. If you are reactive to say bread your body can see one slice as 1000 calories.
The book "The Plan" is a pain in the bum to work with. Always flipping pages to find recipes then back to the day to see what you need to eat.
Its takes some work to as well as some grocery shopping.
A main breakfast food is flax granola. Said to be tasty and addictive. NOT!
The good think I noticed is that weight loss is immediate. I am guessing it is from water weight and bloating that you would lose on any diet that dropped you to seeds for breakfast, veggies for lunch and dinner and for Me 80 ounces of water per day.
So we (my Amazing Wife) and I started the plan.
We stuck pretty much to the plan for 3 days. On the morning of the 4th day I had dropped 4lbs.
That evening was Pesach so we broke the diet with gefile fish, matzo ball soup and a variety of other passover foods. I had kept the water intake up.
Day 5 I gained back 1 pound
Day 6 was second night for a Pesach Dinner.. more matzo, egg, horseradish wine etc.
Guess what gained another pound.
Day 7 was Easter brunch with friends.. so what the heck! Ate bagels, cream cheese, cheese cake, jojo taters.. drank 80oz water..
Day 8 no wieght gain.
Day 9 we started the diet from day 3 and followed it closely, except added a protein bar and a slice of bread (recipe from Tom S added oats). and butter.
Day 10 dropped .2 lb, So today we are having dinner with My brother so that will blow this day.
The Amazing thing though and the reason to keep trying this diet is this. yes finally I will tell you.
I SNORE! Enough it keeps Amazing wife up at times. BUT since starting the diet the snoring has almost disappeared.
So I am bound to keep working with it to find the foods that could be the culprit. Could be just the bloating?? If so need to find the foods that do that.
Along with less snoring though my mood seems to have gone to the darker side. I have been hungry before and not affected by it as far a mood goes.
Could it be the body doesn't like veggies? Could it be the hunger pangs? Not sure but that is the reason I though to write the blog. If I can take notes about mood and what I eat perhaps we can cure the snoring but get back my morning GOOD moods!
