I have spent the last 13 months eating the perfect diet: 5-6 small meals each day, good protein and healthy carbs (mostly fruits & veggies) at each meal, plenty of fiber, etc., etc. The results are pretty impressive and should serve as undeniable testimony to the program.
Even with this powerful example nearby, a co-worker of mine has decided that it is time to lose weight by adopting some pretty crazy eating habits. I have watched this person gain a good bit of weight by getting out of control with soda, chips, snacks, etc. Now, to my horror, she has decided that a high protein diet is what will change her course. The last few days I have watched her make her lunch, which is absolutely disgusting--2 naked hot dogs and several HUGE chunks of Velveeta. Ick!
I can't believe that ANYbody would think that this kind of eating could be healthy! Short term it might work, but it will probably get too boring before there is any REAL effect. If it DOES last, clogged arteries and high cholesterol are certain.
Lesson? Let's eat food that looks like it did when it came out of the ground: whole grains, fresh veggies, fresh fruits, etc. They don't call it "mother nature" for nothing, ya'll!
