Bud Light Summer Diet

I stepped on the scale this weekend and was appalled by the number it showed.  I knew my clothes weren’t fitting exactly like I wanted them to and I also knew that I hadn’t been feeling as great as I used to.  A lot of it I blame work stress for, but regardless, something had to be done.  I also have my brother’s wedding coming up in less than two weeks.  I still had to go dress shopping and was really feeling disgusted with myself.  I tried on a few of the dresses in my closet (some that I had never worn before) to see if I liked anything for at least the rehearsal dinner.  I was gravely disappointed that even my closet dresses were a little snug.  I went to bed on Saturday night feeling pretty miserable about myself and also knowing I had to go try on dresses on Sunday.  I also knew I HAD to lose 10 pounds by the wedding day.

When I woke up on Sunday morning, I knew exactly what I needed to do.  I needed the Bud Light Summer Diet!

Here’s a little background on this “diet”.  About 10 years ago, Pattie was spending the summer out in Long Lane.  We had gone to the country for an extended weekend visit and I couldn’t get over how good she looked.  Like way skinny.  She shared a combination of vitamins she had been taking and I was hooked.  For that summer, I took the supplements, ate like a bird, and drank Bud Light excessively.  I dropped 30 pounds quick and easy and never felt better.

Now, I know this isn’t a long term weight management system.  But, it is fast and effective if done right.  I does take a huge amount of commitment, but I’ve got that.   

So here’s how it works:  

 I down 2 Cranberries, 1 Echinacea, 1 Garcina Cambogia and 1 Gingko Biloba with a bottle of water three times per day.   

Then I put a B12 melt away under my tongue and go about my day.   

When I get hungry, I eat something small.  In the morning, I usually have a probiotic yogurt.  For lunch, I eat a turkey sandwich.  Snacks are typically a piece of fruit or a small slim jim stick.  Dinner is normal but just very small servings.  This works because the Garcina Cambogia is an appetite suppressant/weight management supplement.  I’m really not hungry at all! 

Instead of snacking in the evening, I drink a few bud lights.  They help me unwind from the day and curb any food cravings.

The cranberry supplements help keep my urinary track in check.  Since I am drinking a ton of water and some beer, it helps regulate the output to keep my kidneys function properly.  I go to the bathroom way more often, though.

For exercise, I walk at least 2 miles a day.  And then I just try to stay active and on my feet.  This has been easy, too, since the B12 kicks my metabolism in high gear.  I have sustained energy all day long.

The Echinacea supports my immune system to maintain increase health and lower risk for infections.  The Gingko Biloba supports memory.  So the effects of not eating much (lower immune, low energy, memory fuzziness) are all addressed through the supplements.

I started the combo of supplements on Sunday.  I weighed myself this morning.  I am already down 5 pounds!

So, like I said, I know this isn’t the healthiest weight loss strategies nor will it work long term, but I’m ecstatic with the results thus far.
