Inch By Inch Weight Loss

I have dieted my whole adult life. I’ve tried it all: Eating sensibly (HA!), fasting, giving up desserts, not eating between meals, eating only salads and vegetables, eating only protein, drinking lots of water and lots more that I can’t even remember. I thought one of the best diet plans was “eat less and do more.” Sounds like it should work. But, I think the problem with it was . . . There were no guidelines and no boundaries. How much food is less? How much exercise is more? It wasn’t easy to measure.

Eureka! I’ve finally found the answer. I’ve now lost 40 pounds and I’m keeping it off. It’s been over a year since I hit that goal. I know my eating habits have changed. Now, I’m much more aware of everything I eat.

My starter kit included a software program. I entered my stats and preferences and the program customized my plan. By following the personalized meals that were set up or designing my own menu thru the system, I lost about 2 pounds a week. Slow and steady.

The best part is that I lost fat, not muscle. With most diets, you lose muscle along with the fat. When you stop the diet, you start gaining the weight back, but it’s all fat. Diet after diet, you keep losing muscle until your metabolism is shot.

The secret with the Inch Loss Plan is Leucine. Leucine helps retain muscle as you lose weight. It’s a secret that athletes have known for years. Call me a believer. But, losing pounds isn’t the focus of the Inch Loss Plan. It’s the inches I lost! I lost 29 inches and they’re never coming back.
