My first diet program for fast weight loss and fat burning was copied from my sister. She lost a lot of weight, and I didn’t like the way I looked and thought I would feel better by shedding some excess fat.
Like any dieter, the only information I knew about was “calories.” At the time, my sister was telling me that calories caused body fat to accumulate. Being young and naive, I set out to rid myself of calories. I stopped eating, save for an egg and one piece of toast for breakfast, nothing for lunch, and salad and chicken for dinner. I quickly lost 13 pounds.
I felt great when I could fit into clothes that were previously too snug, but became exhausted and just damn irritable and mean. The diet ceased being a diet when I broke down and obliterated myself with an unending stream of food: cookies, ice cream, cake, pizza, etc. — all in a period of six hours.
I felt so mad, discouraged, and upset after that. Instead of getting right back on the diet that was severe, but still accomplishing what I wanted, I gained 15 pounds in a few weeks by eating relatively normal. Now, 2 pounds fatter than when I started my first diet, I began to strategize.
I needed a new diet — a better one. Everywhere I looked from the newspaper to magazines, to the library and book stores, I found plenty on the confusing topic of weight loss. I purchased all of it. I read everything. I reasoned I would absorb and digest every bit of info out there on dieting and become an authority!
Surely, if I read everything available pertaining to the subject of weight loss, I could figure out or find the best diets and disregard the bad ones. Well, in doing so, I became more confused, as I’m sure many of you are right now.
