I am not sure why I have to always figure things out the second time around, but I guess that is just one of my failings. I bought the Every Other Day Diet over a year ago and floundered around with it.
I just didn't take it seriously and kept telling myself the tomorrow I would start in earnest--ha!
Finally I got tired of carrying around 50 extra pounds and I went on the hCG diet. It was pretty brutal, but I lost a lot of weight because I didn't cheat at all.
After losing the weight I gained about 10 pounds back and was in a panic. That is when I thought of the Every Other Day Diet and why I had bought it in the first place. I hate the trapped feeling that diets give me!
This time I sat down with my wife and we read through the Every Other Day Diet and took notes so that I could get the measurements exactly right.
I am down 5 pounds this week! And I have gone out to eat with my wife twice. Awesome! It should be noted that I am also jogging 2 miles a day for at least 5 days a week. So that allows me to lose more.
I am looking forward to next week to see how this calorie shifting will work against plateauing. In the past, the second week is where I usually hit a plateau.
I'll post here again next week.
Thanks Jon and all of those who worked to make this diet possible.

Comment by Paul Tooley on February 14, 2012 at 4:14pm Update: To borrow a phrase from Micky D's "I'm lobin' it". Due to my work I had to take my wifew out to eat last night for Valentines Day. Lucky for my I am on the Every Other Day Diet because I took her to Carraba's Italian Grill and I had stuffed ravioli. Fantastic! We had special red velvet cup cakes for desert and I woke up this morning and had lost 1/2 pound.
Plan it right and the Every Other Day Diet can let you really enjoy eating while still losing weight.
I am a fan!

Comment by JBF Coach Sarah on December 23, 2011 at 9:55pm Great to read your story Paul - I'm sure you're not alone feeling trapped in traditional diets. EODD is, I agree, a stroke of genius and a plan that works because it has so many options and possibilities that will fit any of life's situations.
Go on vacation - use the primer plan.
At home, be stricter.
Keep it up, and keep us posted!
Merry Christmas - you just gave yourself a great gift!
A listing of all Jon Benson products coming soon!
