1. KISS Diet: The Only Diet You'll Ever Need
So here is the problem. You like millions of other people enjoyed the holidays and
what with all the rich calorie laden meals, cookies, cakes and candy canes you put
on a few pounds. You probably resolved that as soon as January second rolled
around you would lose some weight. Well the second of January has come and
gone. You gave dieting a try but after a few days you quit and you gain back the two
or three pounds you did lose.
You have tried every weight lost plan there is and never really got any lasting results.
You have seen the ads on TV and the internet. You read magazine articles about
losing weight and watched celebrities strut their stuff. Weight reduction plans run the
gamut from fast, cleansing, detox to Paleo, high carbs and low carbs. What is a
person to do? Why can't I lose weight? If only I could find a diet I could live with and
actually enjoy eating the meals.
Well there is such a diet! I call it the K.I.S.S. Diet or the Keep It Simple Silly Diet. You
see most every diet out there is doomed to failure. Why? Because in order to lose
weight and keep it off you need an eating plan that is easy to follow, easy to prepare,
uses common everyday ingredients, one that will not break your food budget and
that you will enjoy eating.
Most diets out there call for expensive and unfamiliar food items and/or require long
prep times. Using exotic spices with unfamiliar tastes may be okay when you are
feeling adventurous but not as a regular addition to your meals. The K.I.S.S. Diet
uses everyday familiar foods, comfort foods if you will and a few simple principles.
Now I am not a doctor or dietician I am just a regular guy, who with his wife has tried
nearly everything under the sun to lose weight and failed! Finally a few years ago I
looked at all the highest rated weight lost programs and took the common elements
they shared and developed my own system that has worked for my family. This is
not a problem you can buy. I do not have a book, DVD or meal plan to sell you. As I
said this is a Keep It Simple Silly plan that I freely share. So without further ado here
are the key points.
1. Start each day with a lean protein breakfast. It can be eggs. I like mine poached.
But a slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, non fat free plain yogurt with
fruit or a smoothie.
2. Lunch is a salad or vegetable laden soup.
3. Dinner lean protein either meat or vegetarian.

2. 4. Snacks: Fruit, low fat cheese, handful of nuts, non fat plain yogurt, olives,
Hummus, etc
5. Drink plenty of water.
6. Avoid sugar in all its forms.
7. Do not eat any food that is white.
8. Eliminate processed foods from your diet.
9. Move! Walk, walk, walk! Insert five or ten minutes of some kind of exercise every
day.
10. Get enough sleep!
Now I admit there is nothing new in this plan. In fact you probably knew all this before
you read this article. But sometimes with all the hype out there regarding weight lost
and new diets we forget the simple truth about eating. This truth is "Everything in
moderation." You probably remember your Momma saying this, right?
My point in trying to grab your attention with my diet was to help refocus you and
remind you that you don't need to spend buckets of money, drive all over town
searching for strange foods or spending hours in the kitchen preparing unfamiliar
meals. The solution was always right in front of you in your refrigerator and pantry.
So relax use the simple principles above and rest assure that over time you will lose
weight and keep it off for good!
