Petite Advantage Diet

I was browsing at the library and found this book. Well since I've not lost any weight lately, I decided to check it out. I would like to lose a minimum of 10 lbs and ideally 15, but I haven't done much to even try lately. Well today is the day. I will update the blog as I go along.

The plan is 1100 calories a day for 2 days, followed by a 1600-calorie day. The plan is high protein, high fiber, low calorie, and low fat. You eat more calories in the early part of the day. He recommends some fiber capsules before dinner. On this diet, you can also drink tea, coffee, and wine (in moderation of course). He says wine with a meal works to metabolize food faster. YES!!!!

The book says petites should NOT do long sessions of intense cardio as it just makes you hungry and even 28 extra calories a day on a short person really adds up. It says 3 times a week of weight training and 60-90 minutes a day of unintense (is that a word?) cardio. Well the exercise definitely is up to par with me. Last night, I did my favorite workout: 20 minutes of weights, 15 minutes of cardio, and 15 minutes in the sauna. 

So this diet plan is very specific. Typically, this is what kills most diet plans, but I have the time to cook and plan, so I have no excuses. This morning, I had scrambled egg whites with turkey bacon, reduced fat colby cheese, and pineapple. I could barely eat it all I was so full. Lunch is 1/2 sweet potato with reduced fat sour cream and cheese, pinto beans and broccoli. Dinner is fish with spinach salad and ONE glass of wine. I'm planning on sticking to the 21-day meal plan. 

So Hayley got a new job as a hostess at a restaurant. http://www.thelemonbar.net/
They gave her a nice raise and told her they would do another money review and raise in 90 days. They also told her that she could wait tables when she turns 18 which is in 8 weeks.
