Tone Matters. Use It Well.
@tbp0701:
With your recent accomplishments still fresh in mind, I researched the Mediterranean Diet and located a website that will tailor your food preferences to a diet that will help one lose weight in 30 days.
However, because weight loss should theoretically be a lifestyle choice that will last many years, I've downloaded from the diet's website all 7 of their available PDF books (obviously, with a minor cost) that use my choice of foods with respect to the Mediterranean Diet.
The difficult part will be reviewing these PDFs and beginning with the diet. (A lot of the diet involves eating 4 to 5 times a day in much smaller portions, so most of the digested food is progressively used as energy, and not stored as fat)
Because the diet is designed for fast weight loss (a 30-day diet plan), it made much more sense to try to lose weight gradually, in 3 to 6 to 9 months time, rather than as a crash-style diet. Gradual weight loss is also healthier for your body, which can also strengthen and tighten the resultant loose outer skin as the weight comes off. A 30-day diet would cause flabby skin, with no under-supporting muscle to take its place.
I've not yet begun with the diet, but will be reading the PDFs so as to discern what meal choices will work more appropriately for gradual weight loss. My feeling is, that I don't wish to go "cold turkey" entirely with this diet, but ease into it, over the course of several weeks. Will revisit this post again soon and let you know how you've inspired me to make this work.
