There is a Dukan Diet, by Dr. Pierre Dukan, which helps people lose alot of weight quicky and TO KEEP IT OFF! My neighbor has lost an enormous amount of weight and still losing. BPT is correct and said not to eat later than 8:30 p.m.
My niece was very heavy and she lost alot of weight and kept it off. She never eats after 6:00 p.m.
The best diet is to eat a LOW GI diet. Oatmeal or oat bran in the morning with skim or semi skimmed milk, or a plain, no fat yogurt with a few spoons of UNSUGARED meusli, i.e. Rude Health. Or 2 slices wholemeal bread or wholegrain bread with tuna, no mayo. Or just a small TEASPOON of mayo. Or make 1 whole egg and 2 extra egg whites for breakfast. Or a portion of cottage cheese.Eat apple or pear for snack or a few almonds or brazil nuts. Lunch has to be a protein i.e. grilled piece of fish, grilled chicken, no fat no skin, or sliced thin turkey roll, salad with herbs and lemon juice, vinegar and maybe a teaspoon of olive oil if u like it, and vegetables or quinoa with onions, mushrooms etc. No corn or beetroot, potato or rice. Learn to drink water with slices of lemon or lime. Fruit for snack. You can have a vegetable soup at night and also portion of protein, salad and vegetables. NO POTATOES, no white rice, only a few tablespoons of brown basmati rice, no white bread.
I make butternut squash soup with 1 onion, 1 red pepper, 1 sweet potato and a couple of carrots, whole cut up butternut squash and I add 1 cup of red lentils. Add some parve soup powder dissolved in boiling water and seasoning and boil for about an hour or so. Then you can blend with hand blender. This is delicious and can be eaten all the time.
My friend sticks to this and she has lost over 80 lbs and keeps it off. It is a new way of life. Don’t drink juices as as they have enormous amount of sugar. This is a great diet/way of life for people with a lot of weight to lose and who have diabetes, high colestarol, high blood pressure.
BPT was correct with the size of portions.
I squeeze about 50 -60 lemons at a time and then I put the juice in ice cube trays and freeze. I then put in to zip lock freezer bags and have squeezed juice ready all the time to add to water or to cook with. It is fantastic for Shabbos, so that you don’t have to worry about squeezing slices of lemon in your drink in error, with the spoon.
