Dear Diet Editor,
I am in need of free diet plans. Can you provide me with web sites that provide them?
Thanks,
On A Budget
Dear On A Budget,
I have been following free diet plans even before I needed to lose weight. What comes to mind, excuse the pun, is there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Have you heard of the free Grapefruit Diet?
Or the free Cabbage Soup Diet?
How about the free Mayo Clinic Diet?
Using common sense, there is only one free diet plan that really works.
Lose one pound of body weight by reducing 3500 calories. The calorie deficit may either be achieved by less food, increased activity or both. If you lose at a greater rate than 1-2 pounds per week, you are losing water and not fat. You WILL see a regain when you quit following your “free plan.”
Nobody, but nobody loves the word free more than me, but I value most my freedom to chose.
Bon Appe’tite!,
Diet Editor
