Chef is on a 50 pounds in 12 months Weight Loss Program
Foodiess: I am in need of some rehab. Fat has zombied my body and I am attacking back.
Not ashamed to put this out there to my readers… I am challenging myself to drop 4.2 pounds in 30 days every 30 days for a year (50 pounds). Can it be done….???? OH Yes! I am using the weight loss plan described here in my blog (read below). It is a proven healthy weight loss plan with many great wellness benefits to help me stay on course and continue on track.
If you are equally bound and I am your catalyst to move in similar direction, please join in…Lets do it! No claim that the entire journey of body rehab will be fun but it will be none the less interesting.
So what am I really doing… How is all this coming together
Get tuned up for the Weight Loss plan
Now it is time to rethink and move on my food intake. I am altering the type of intake. Fruit for cookies, Salads for sandwiches, water for cold coffee drinks. Good proteins for meats….no junk food at all and finally a real effort to reduce bread intake (ouch). This is the gist.
Tuning up for any plan can be a ease into the weight-loss plan get your body fully prepped for a full on food group change. If you are the low energy high carb grazer or a full fat muncher the change into a weight-loss plan that differs from your usual can be a challenge. The answer is in a short two day body shock addition to the plan.

This is the layout for this plan. It is highly doable….I have only 30 days to think about and the solid goal is 4.2 pounds per month. My body will adjust to the routine of eating and drinking every 2 hours. I will be running to the restroom frequently. The trade off is tremendous.
