The Best Diets

Hi! Sorry we took so long to get this set up for y'all to read. Both Chipotle and I have been busy with our lives, but we still think about our blog and our typing away for you. Also please send us emails and post comments- we'd love to hear feedback from you guys! 

Moving on. Here are the diets you sent into us:
The Easiest (but slowest) Diet

"My diet was just to simply cut out junk food. I made a rule for myself to only be able to have high-calorie snacks on Saturday and Sunday.. it was pretty helpful. After that, I just took the easy opportunities to burn fat like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, taking the shopping cart back into the store instead of putting it into those cart holders outside (The employees will love you for this act of kindness, especially in the winter time!). And also taking the long way in the mall, looking through every store you think you might need something (This method is good for your health and bad for your wallet!). Doing all this everyday, I lost 22 pounds by the end of the year. So, if you're a person that just DOES NOT like exercising, this diet is the one for you, because soon, taking those 'extra opportunities to burn fat' will start to slide into your habits, and you won't even remember about the losing weight thing. You will forget you're burning calories at all. Its a great surprise at the end of the year!" Beth, age 45, Rhode Island


The Fast Diet

"Hi there. I want to let you know how I lost my weight! In the morning I would eat something low carb and high fiber. Then for lunch  I eat salad or a sandwich. Dinner, I eat high protein and some carbs and then a tiny sweet thing like 1 home made chocolate covered marshmallow. I ignore the junk and don't think about it I am VERY STRICK on myself and make myself feel bad when I eat bad. I am training myself NOT to like bad foods. Like I used to LOVE Oreos now I think they are DISGUSTING!!!! I am about 5ft. tall and I used to weigh about 145 now I weigh 130. That's a lot of weight for a short lady like me! I have been on this diet since September and am still on it and am still loosing! See how fast that was!!! WOOO!!! Sorry, you girls bring out the spicy in me!" Tawny, Abilene, TX Age 20

Another Fast Diet

"Hi Chipotle and Jalapeno! Here is how I lost weight. Well, I better start from the beginning: I've been a history teacher for 12 years now, and I've always taken interest in history all my life. I don't know, it just is really interesting to me. Anyway, I love going to Washington D.C. with my husband for vacation.. but I've only went 1 time... I know, I made it seem like I've been there alot, but I haven't (I could have went in high school, but my parents didn't have the money). But anyway, when I went, I wanted to see everything, and I didn't want to be rushed or be on a schedule, so I didn't go with a tour guide or anything. Anyway, I was staying there for a week. Well, I did a lot of walking doing somthing I love. And you know what that means- I lost weight. I didn't lose a bunch. Just 7 pounds, which is a pound a day. I know it isn't alot, but I figure if I save my money and go there again, I could stay longer- maybe, say, 14 days? Thats 14 pounds lost there. But, what I'm trying to say is lose weight doing somthing you love- you don't have to go to Washington D.C. like me, but you could go to.. anywhere. Anywhere you think you might walk alot. And when you do get to your vacation spot, try and walk to places as much as possible. Then you'll increase the number of burned calories!" Ann, age 36, Pennsylvania

Thanks so much Beth, Tawny and Ann! I'm sure your diets encouraged some people to lose weight. Thanks to all that participated!
With Love And Spice,
