This is freaking awesome. I’ve been following the weight loss progress of JR from A Keyboard and a .45 for a while now. He’s got himself a sensible plan that actually works.
He went from this:
To this:
In just 120 days! That’s 84 pounds of weight loss in just 4 months! If you want to know more just look at his blog post that I stole the images from. He links to the diet program he’s using at the bottom of the post. Now, it is a commercial product, and that generally triggers my BS meter, but I’ve seen a very similar program, if not this actual program, work for other folks that I know
Aside from JR I’ve seen one of my uncles go from being so overweight he needed help getting out of a chair, then to having open heart surgery, getting on a similar plan, and at this year’s family reunion somebody had to fetch some rope so he could keep his friggen pants up because he lost so much weight. The other guy I know of 3rd hand is somebody I knew as a child that hit 500lbs. He got on a similar program and he’s now 170lbs. My brother interacts with him on a regular basis. He’s a real person and the program he was on actually worked. Actually it’s still working for him because he admits he can’t go back to regular food. He has to stay on these diet programs, but that’s a rather extreme case.
What these programs do isn’t rocket science. If you eat fewer calories than you burn in a day you’ll lose weight. There’s really no mystery behind the science of the matter. However what these programs seem to excel at is keeping you feeling “full” even though you ate very little in caloric content. That’s not something most of us can do in our own kitchens.
