Fad Dad Thin Dad Report - Week One

Week One Results

Week One has come to an end and the results are in…I know that some people may wonder how this is possible, but these are the facts.

Waist - Lost 1 1/4 inch, Chest - lost 1 inch, Arms - lost 1/4 inch on each arm, Thighs - lost 1/2 inch on each thigh. For A Total inch loss of 3 3/4 inches

Not bad for the first week. I hope you noticed that I measure my progress in inches lost because weight doesn’t matter. It is how big or bulky your body is that really matters. Who cares what you weight is as long as you easily fit into your favorite pair of clothes that make you look great. Will I be able to keep up this type of inch loss? Probably not. Usually the first couple of weeks is the largest reduction. That is why you want to take advantage of this and use the loss as a motivation for the next week.

Review of Fat Dad Thin Dad Weekly Objective

Last week I had a birthday weekend celebration for my wife in Dallas. We had fun and didn’t over do anything. I ate according to my health management program (see my post from Saturday) and did my 2-a-days for exercise. In fact I liked the fact that I got to use 3 different pieces of exercise equipment. I noticed my pants on Sunday were a little looser than normal and was really surprised to find I had lost as many inches as I had.

This next week, my objective is to do more of the same except I am not going on any trip. The focus will be to eat fresh fruits and vegetables along with my meatatarian life style. Yesterday I had a meatatarian salad which was two pieces of ham, two strips of bacon, two link sausages, and two eggs over easy. I cut them all up into small pieces and mixed them together.

Why are you eating these types of foods?

Here’s a little secret. I have taken time to find out what makes my body work most effectively. That is why diets don’t work. By focusing in on these types of foods and exercising the way I do, I know what the end result will be - because I have done it before.

Why Are You Losing Inches So Quickly?

Because when you give your body what it wants and needs (this is different for every “body”), it will go back to its normal mode of operation. I have found my body likes fresh fruit & vegetables and lots of meat. It also needs a ton of cardio in addition to the normal workout. Whether I like it or not, that is how my body functions. I have run test after test and when I put this combination together for me, it works.

Every “Body” Is Different

People may ask about whether you need long cardio workouts or certain eating plans. The real answer is that every one is unique. That is why you should find out what works for you. Ask you health care professional which would be the best plan to test and monitor the results. Not working, let your health care professional know so they can recommend one that will. Remember that life is a test, but you only get one life. So enjoy it to the fullest and don’t fall for all the crap in this diet industry. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Grapefruit Diet

Have you tried the grapefruit diet? You know the one where you have to eat “x” number of grapefruits a day with hardly anything else. It is supposed to increase your metabolism and burn off fat. While the fresh fruit is probably good for you, the biggest challenge is that if you drastically change your eating pattern from what you eat now to mostly grapefruit, you may be in for a big shock.

Diet After Effects

One friend of mine who tested this diet, ended up with an allergic reaction to grapefruits. Due to the acidity levels that changed in his body from eating so many grapefruits, his lips swelled up. So he ended up gaining from doing this diet. Here he wanted to reduce and all the grapefruit did was puff him up. Just another reason to check with your health care professional before attempting any new diet.

Quick Overview of Grapefruit Diet

We discovered yet another video for your enjoyment which talks about this interesting diet. It doesn’t cover all of the specifics, but it sure is fun to watch.

What Does Fad Diet TV Think?

First, grapefruits are good for you as is any fresh fruit. Just make sure you don’t have any allergies. We are strong believers in eating fresh fruits and vegetables as going natural is usually a common sense approach to eating. However, your body needs more than just one type of fruit. Also no fruit will burn off all of your sins from eating incorrectly.

We rate this diet as good only from the fresh fruit vantage point. However, it too is bogus because you have to ask yourself, “Can you live on this for the rest of your life?” If not, then tag it as bogus.
