The POWER diet

     Since the initial publication of the Holidiet plan we have received thousands of letters describing life changes taking place as a result of its implementation in peoples' routines. This is the most rewarding part of being a semi-professional blogger. The truth of the matter, however, is that the Holidiet does not work for everyone, as evidenced by a few letters we have received by fans frustrated by failure when they did not lose the weight they expected. In the spirit of not leaving anyone behind I have been up night after night researching an alternative to the Holidiet for that vast minority who have not had success with it. I call it the POWER diet.

Overview:

     When one begins a workout regiment one may choose to "define" ones current muscles by doing several sets of several repetitions with a low weight. On the other hand one may also choose to build on the muscles they have by doing fewer sets and repetitions with a higher weight. The stomach muscle is no different, when you eat several small meals over the course of the day you "define" it and if you eat a few very large meals that muscle grows stronger and stronger. Now, most liberal scientists will have you believe that when your stomach muscle grows you are actually getting fatter and causing damage to your stomach and heart. New research shows that this is simply not true. The fact of the matter is as you ingest more fatty and sugary foods your stomach and heart get a great workout and they are able to operate at peak performance for years to come. If you eat "health food" such as salad, wheat, and low-fat meals your organs get lazy and tend to fail faster because they never have to work. With that in mind let me lay out this day-by-day diet plan that will save your life and save you money in the process! The basics are you eat 3 very large meals a day, each with a dessert to complement it. We will break down each meal and give you some tips to maximize your POWER diet experience.

Big Breakfast:

     The name says it all. When you wake from slumber the most important thing you should do is eat an extremely large and fatty breakfast. I recommend a healthy dose of bacon with any meal, but with the big breakfast it is a must. Enjoy all your favorite foods such as doughnuts, eggs, sausage, biscuits, and sugary cereal. Don't forget that gravy and/or cheese goes great over any kind of breakfast food, too. Eat to your hearts content but don't forget to save room for post-big breakfast dessert!

Dinner:

     This is your basic dinner, but eaten just slightly earlier (4-5ish for most people, but you can adjust to your schedule). Any kind of classic home cooking or fast food will do (fried chicken, meatloaf, casserole, pot roast, steak, etc.) Please remember that a salad is NOT a meal, no not ever. You also need to remember that following dinner is dessert. When having dinner and dessert avoid anything that is free of trans fats or anything produced by a weight loss company. Also, eating vegetables is fine, but canned veggies with plenty of additives are better than fresh.

2nd Dinner:

     Just before bedtime you need to eat another full size dinner to ensure your heart and stomach are working for you even through the night. Just follow the same rules as 1st dinner and you should be good. Fast food drive thru is also a sensible and quick choice for 2nd dinner/dessert (I recommend Taco Bell).

'Cheating' Weekends:

     If you follow the POWER diet for the entire work week feel free to reward yourself on the weekend by shedding the restraints of the regiment. After all, you've earned it! Eat whatever you want whenever you want. If you slipped up during the week simply take the weekend off to regroup and try again next week! You can do it, don't give up!
