Proven New Year Diet

2. I will lose weight from the 1st of Jan, 2010.
3. I will start this resolution on the 2nd of Jan, since the 1st of Jan is the New Year party hangover day and I will need sugar for strength to start my diet.
4. I will not eat more than 1 sweet thing a week. (coffee and tea do not count.)
5. Coffee and tea do count! Just checked that every spoon of sugar adds 30 calories. I will drink them unsweetened.
6. Just tried unsweetened coffee. Will not survive it. I will cut out the 30 calories from my breakfast instead, by not eating half the apple.
7. I will not eat the left-over Christmas cake. I will instead give it to my neighbours who will return the favour by sending back more home-made sweets, which I will NOT eat.
8. unless they send their coconut barfi, which I cannot resist, so will eat one a week (allowed by my diet resolution) but coconut gets bad soon, so must finish in one day.
9. I will cut out snacking in between meals.
10. I will cut out meals, when I do give in to snacking.
11. I will chuck out all the snacks in the house. (maybe not these crisps I’m munching on right now, because they are exceptionally good, and they are made of chilli-potato, which is healthy, since chilli is good for the heart).
    ok, I will keep the snacks, but only for emergencies.
12. Midnight chocolate cravings do not count as emergencies. I will eat carrots instead.
13. No more chocolate !!!!!!
14. (unless someone gifts me chocolate, which I can’t refuse, because that would be rude).
15. Read somewhere that chocolates help in avoiding migraine attacks, which would qualify them as a medical emergency.
16. Go vegetarian.
17. I will cook only with olive oil, which makes Mediterranean people live longer.
18. They also eat lots of fish, so I cannot go vegetarian.
19. Eggs are high in cholesterol but also high in calcium. ????
20. Compromise. Eat eggs only in things like cakes, puddings and pancakes.
21. Do not eat hidden fats. (Does cabbage have hidden fats? Must check, till then, do not eat cabbage).
22. Also do not eat pumpkins, radish, tendli until the above point is checked out.
23. Substitute instead with plenty of vitamin supplements.
24. Vitamin supplements leave a bad after-taste, so have them disguised in a small chocolate pastry (chocolate is a medical emergency, as just proven here).
25. Do not eat out more than once a week.
26. ok, eat out, but order sensibly. Drink soup.
27. Do not drink.
28. Just read that Alcohol kills the appetite, so drink a lot.
29. High-fibre diet. Order lots of fried nuts and cashews with drinks.
30. Drink plenty of water (Beer is only 5% alcohol, and 95% water).
31. January is full of friends’ birthdays, so should this diet start from Feb?
