Well, today was the first weigh-in for our at-work-12-week-challenge. While I was in line, one of the ladies from another office was talking. She had lap-band surgery in July and has lost 60+ pounds so far. But before she could even HAVE the surgery, she had to "de-fat her liver" and lose at least 10 pounds. They told her to go on a protein diet. She did, and not only lost the 10 pounds in the time-frame they gave her, but lost another 14 as well. She eats protein and vegetables. Protein. Vegetables. Hmmm..... Does THAT sound familiar? And now she only eats about a cup of food at each meal. Hmmm... what have I been saying (if only to myself) about the capacity of the human stomach per meal? A cup. Hmmmm.... seems I was on to something and I didn't fully realize it.
Let's see what I can do with THIS little tidbit of information.
