Been giving this a thought, I need to change something.
Alton Brown has lost a great deal of weight and has kept it off. This diet is of his design and allows for pretty much everything just in limited amounts.
"Eat Daily" List - fruits, whole grains, leafy greens, nuts, carrots, green tea
"Eat Three Times Per Week" list - Oily fish (wild salmon, sardines, etc), yogurt, broccoli, sweet potatoes, avocado
"Eat Only Once per Week" list - pasta, one alcoholic drink, red meat, dessert
"Zero Times per Week" list - fast food, soda, processed meals, canned soups, "diet" anything (no artificial sweeteners)
Notes: Alton doesn't drink milk because it makes him want cookies, cake, etc. He has a breakfast smoothie with reminds me a little of the Eades' (of Protein Power) Paleolithic Punch (though Alton adds soy milk to his).
A fruit smoothie made with almond milk daily would hit most of that list, but I have to admit that I would have trouble eating leafy greens and carrots every single day. I am also not super in love with avocados, I wonder what could substitute. Everything else seems like it wouldn't be a problem though.
