This isn't a recipe really, but a short narrative of what it has taken to burn off some of my , hmmm.......excess middle.
On March 10 i got back to Louisiana from a trip North and the next day began THE DOCTOR'S QUICK WEIGHT LOSS DIET. I saw the book many years ago, printed in 1971, and bought a used one on Amazon for under a dollar, along with the companion QWL Cookbook.
Now, on March 21 I am down 12 pounds. I think it is mostly around the middle as i am going to need to cut a new hole in my belt later today.
Easy diet, and I've never been hungry for a minute. Short synapsis: All protein, NO carbs....... so, lots of beef, chicken, turkey, shrimp, fish, pork, eggs, and cottage cheese, all with the fat and skin off. Spices, condiments allowed. Coffee, tea, water, sugar free drinks, all you want. Get hungry, go eat an egg, or another slice of roast beef or a burger. If it's not in the first part of the list, DON'T EAT IT.
Now, i think I have "hit the wall" and will switch to the second part of the diet which is all veggies and fruit......again, no or low carbs. And, when i crave a burger, i'll switch back by the week or ten day period.
Notice there is no beer , Scotch, Rum, Gin, Whiskey, Wine, etc on the first list. There's no desert, no chocolate, no pudding, ice cream or pie. Dang.....easier if you just don't look at any of it. Of course, Diane has been baking up a storm, making Angel Food cakes (twice) Brownies (twice), and cookies (twice) since March 11. So, while she eats cookies I humbly sit with a small dish of plain cottage cheese.
But, my Uniform now goes on me again. I may be able to suit up and play a tune for Jack as he snoozes off to dreamland instead of just showing up in blue jeans.
Jdupre' had this whole thing figured out long ago. He's trim and fit as a fiddle and has been passing on the potatoes and rice for a long time. Smart guy, that joey.
Guess I'll go have a hard boiled egg and get to work.
