Who Wants to Lose Weight Healthfully?

[Adina P]

Aug 1st update: OPENINGS ARE CLOSED FOR NOW. Diet began Aug 1st.

 

As you may know, my education and job involve nutrition and dietetics.  I am a Registered Dietitian and have a certificate in Adult Weight Management.  I see patients in a hospital setting and counsel them on their diet and eating habits.  But I can only see so many people one-on-one in my small town of Walla Walla.  So I am in the process of putting together a weight loss program that I will publish later (early 2012?) in a book / multimedia / support community format.

The diet will be called the Satisfaction Diet.  It is a "no hunger craving / no banned food / easily lose weight" diet.  It doesn't involve any fancy supplements or anything other than natural products you can buy at your local supermarket.  It works by reducing your hunger pangs and making you feel satisfied after eating fewer calories.  This eating program will minimize all the reasons we ever say "I'm famished!" and will maximize all the reasons our body tells us "I'm satisfied".

What does this have to do with you?  I'm looking for guinea doodles!  OK, not doodles, but I am looking for people that would like to take part in a weight loss program.  I'm looking for success stories.  This will be as anonymous as you want it to be.  I will be setting up a completely separate social network (like DK) only for participants of this diet program.  So there will not need to be any cross-talk here on DK.  As early participants, this program will be completely free.  You will receive early editions of all the material I will be presenting.  The "book" won't be done when you start this program but the diet will be clearly given to you.  I will be available to all participants for counselling if there are additional questions.

I'm looking for twenty people. (Update: We will accept more as long as all are willing to actually take part.)  I hope to find twenty people who will be committed to doing this for 90 days.  Twenty people who will report their successes and failures on our private social network and who will support each other throughout.  Now this is NOT a 90 day torture test like P-90 or something.  It is a program where you will make some simple changes to your diet (and eat some natural but unusual snacks) that will naturally change how satisfied you feel and allow you to eat less with no hunger cravings.

Write to me personally if you are interested and I will answer any questions you have and if you are committed, will send you an invitation to our new private social network.

ME ME ME ME ME -----  PICK ME!!!!!!

[RoseAnn and Roger Fitch]

I am very interested in your program.

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

I could use some motivation! I wanna look good for my wedding and honeymoon!

[Donna K & Quincy]

I have 25lbs I can donate to the program. Just how unusual are those snacks? Are they readily available at the supermarket. I have lots of friends that also could stand to donate a few pounds.

Nothing on this plan can't be found at regular grocery stores and it is highly likely most of you are using this presently. It is just a different way of doing things and won't mean you have to permanently give up anything like 'carbs' or whatever is the popular 'bad food' of the season. I will respond to your private messages later. And please DO respond privately if you are interested (NOT only on here).

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Pick me.  I'm the third cookie up in this bag of Oreo's.  I'm the largest cookie.  Do you see me now?

[F, Calla & Luca]

I think you will be overwhelmed with requests. I just wanted to say that I love the word healthfully. I get so tired of hear about healthy foods when I didn't realize any were sick, with the possible exception of mad cow disease : )

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

No food is bad food.  That's right F. Parky!   I learned that one too.

[Anna and Achilles]

I responded via message but thought I should also here too. I would love to be a part of this program. I need help for sure.

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

I would LOVE to be considered! 

[Trudy Harlow]

ME!  Please?

Yes, yes, definitely!!!  My husband has lost 45 pounds but has reached a plateau, he should lose another 40+  He has Metabolic Syndrome.  I have reached 'that age' where the weight just doesn't come off like it used to, pre-menopause, oh what fun you have to look forward to!!!  :)  I've done some reading etc, but would absolutely be on board, it's hard to do this solo and would love a program, rather than a thousand clipped articles and random recipies that I've collected.  I'll talk to my husband as well, but he's kind of the hapless victim here - I'm the one that buys the groceries and does the cooking.  Thanks for the offer Adina.
