As I was cooking this evening I had an idea for a new diet plan. I have to work the kinks out but here is the basic idea:

You can eat anything that takes 2 or more steps to prepare.
Fruits and veggies would be the only exception to the rule.
Of course drink 6-8 glasses of water and exercise as much as you can.
Stay away from the TV.
Distract yourself during your main munchie hours.

Just think, you wouldn't be eating candy, no cans of pop, no fast food. Preparing food takes time and energy. You tend to eat the right things when you have to stop and think about it. Want a snack? Can't have a cookie unless you bake one. Can't have chips. You could have fruit, veggies or popcorn. Want dessert? You have to prepare it. Cake, bake it. Pudding, make it.

You would most likely be eating a lot less preservatives and salt as a result. Interesting, eh?
