Bacon Sandwich Diet Information
(How to loose regular weight week after week without feeling hungry)

This is 'MY STORY' how I lost 15kg in 6 months without starving myself and feeling hungry all the time and minimal daily exercise!

If you have tried every diet under the sun and failed then this might work for you too?

I can't say its really a diet as such. I stumbled across this by accident. Im not sure why it worked for me but if I stuck to it and didnt snack in between meals or eat double the amount or bad packet salted snacks, then the weight started to come off about a kilo per month without really trying.

It was not until I went to the doctors for my 3 month diabetic check up and blood test, he said; you have lost weight. I said; well I havent been dieting or trying HAH, thats odd! Then I weighed myself and sure enough I was 3 kilos lighter then when he weighed me on the last check up. Then another 3 months passed and the same. Even my sugar levels started to come down. I had lots of energy and was never hungry. I didnt stay on the bacon sandwich diet strictly after 6 months, as one does get fed up with it after all. However the weight didnt increase if I was careful.

If you want a fast loss diet then check out the fatloss4idiots below instead.

So what was my magical formula?

before <<<<<<< Before ...... After >>>>>> After

well I guess I broke the dietations rules, scr__ them ;)

I explan first, and give detailed amounts and ingredients below:

1) 2 Meals a day! not the recommend 3 or 5 small meals by health professionals.

Im probably like so many world wide - just no time in mornings to sit down and eat a load of carbos and sugars hidden in cereals with the bonus of some fibre. I am not a morning person. I tend to have gotten jobs (shift work) that worked the evenings and started in the afternoon. I loved to sleep in until 10am, and stay up to 2am. So skipping the most important meal of the day was easy.

Instead my most important meal is called BRUNCH!!! (10am to 1pm depending what you are used to; as a time for a first meal of the day)

but DO NOT panic this diet can work for morning people too.

The key thing missing 1 extra meal is your lossing 1000 extra calories per day. Thats a load of extra exercise to burn that off.

Your second meal is a regular dinner 6 to 7pm (and not all you can eat deal, you still have to be reasonable. and no fast foods - a biggy! fast food should be restricted to a treat, once or twice a month only - not a habit. Whats worse is many even have it for breakfast and lunch!)

The key with the bacon diet is the right amount of fiber, fats and protein. Its the protein that actually tells your brain when your not hungry, according to new research. Protein turns of the hunger.

believe it or not, a egg and bacon breakfast is recommended for diabetics as it has the right amount of proteins and fiber (with whole meal bread) and less sugars then many boring breakfasts to keep the body happy all day until the evening meal. The bacon sandwich works better I think and easier and faster to cook using just a toaster and microwave as explained below.

Also, some research has found egg and bacon regularly eaten by children under the age of 10 compared with cereal children actually had better brain function and scored 10 to 30% higher in tests and memory quizzes. It was found the key was Omega-3 and other Omegas found in eggs was vital for brain function! The other common sources for Omegas other then vitamins/supplements was from fresh fish.

So DO NOT KNOCK the old english breakfast!

You could add a egg in the sandwich, but eggs have alot of fat and other bad things (as well as good things) in them, so stick to a add egg treat to once a week. Its better to buy supplements or have seafood or fish in a couple of meals a week,

2) low fat milk shake (with a plant extract for added fibre and indigestion), Take on a empty stomach before any other bewerage or food.

Now if you dont have BRUNCH and a morning person, you could take this milkshake in the morning.

3) Regular glasses of water every 2-3 hours during the day.

4) A standard main meal daily.

5) supplements as a extra boost,

6) 30 minutes walk daily recommended after the sandwich, for example: dog walking , if doing that for your job anyhow it dont matter, just walking to a park and back. or up and down the street and back. You just have to get out the house if possible.

Why walk? sun light on face and hands gets the vital vitamin D ! it burns extra calories

7) Use your brain more for calculating stuff. A idle brain, one just watching TV all day would only burn 400 calories. But a thinking brain like programming a PC, mathematics, word processing, and other nerdy thinking jobs, could easily burn double to quadriple the calories!

So simply, walking 15 minutes in any direction from your door step and back and more use of the brain will burn up those calories.

Its said the human body only needs 2000 calories a day. Well a burger and fries is easily that if not more. Thats Just one meal! and you have 2 more meals in a day left.. so you could easily eat double triple or quadriple the calories your body needs.. so what does it do with the extras? of course your body stores it as fat! you gain weight!.

A bacon sandwich depending on bread used can range from 300 to 600 calories a slice of bread alone! and the bacon slice also 400 to 500 calories with the fat/bacon rine removed.

so a bacon sandwich we are looking at 1200 calories and the main meal about the same.

8) I actually drink a cup of tea with no sugar with some milk in the mornings (10am like, although one should have the milkshake first if possible), and 1 glass of pepsi max or cola zero during the day. If 'one' could avoid the sweetening chemicals then it would be wise. Replace these with water would be best solution, but this is a realistic diet plan and diet soft drinks only have like 4 calories so you can get away with it. Coffee is meant to have good anti cancer properties... but everything in moderation as they say. You can find out other HEALTHY FACTS in this book I recommed: NaturalPlantCures.com

Pros and Cons of the Bacon Sandwich Diet

Pros: It is easy to stick to for many months. Should be able to loose weight slowly.

Cons: Some people can't eat meat such as vegeterians, some can't eat because of religious obligations (pig meat), and some countries do not even have smoked salted shoulder bacon rashers/slices (they surely do not know what they are missing out on... its a taste buds delight) However all is not lost, one could find a alternative to bacon, perhaps salty ham or other lean meat cutlets or maybe a soya substitute?

Personal Note: If you're SERIOUS about losing weight, I would URGE you to check out a brand new concept I just found out about :

Fat Loss 4 Idiots

This diet actually works BETTER than the Bacon Sandwich diet, and it allows you to lose 9 lbs every 11 days ... while eating many of your favorite foods.

Sound impossible? I thought so too, until I tried the amazing new method known a "Calorie Shifting", which actually "tricks" your body into burning fat.

What the Bacon Sandwich Diet is NOT

The Bacon Sandwich diet is not a rapid loss diet. It is a way to change your bad habits without making your self hungry, and giving you a fighting chance to succeed in loosing weight or maintaining weight.

The Recipe

The Bacon Sandwich Details

2 Slices. Any kind of bread white or brown; what you like. However, read the side of loaf, find a brand that with the lowest calories per slice, try to get one with 500 calories or less. Of course, whole meal bread is better for you then white but will alter the taste of the sandwich, some like some dont. Im the do not kind. I like a neutral tasting bread. Some white bread have added hidden fiber so get that brand if available.

1 normal size pig shoulder bacon rasher/slice. Note! the picture of shoulder bacon above. It has all the fat on one side. Not strip bacon that has much fatty strips mixed with the meat. Not all bacon is equal, the best tasting I find is salted bacon not sugar cured with a light smoked flavor. UK/AUS/NZ style shoulder bacon is the best.

Cook the bacon slice in 800 watt microwave oven for 1 to 2 minutes, this will release most of the fat and fat/salt adds added flavor to the rest of the slice of meat as it cooks. Leave the bacon rine on. This is the easier option and it adds extra flavor to it as it cooks in its juices.

After its cooked then cut of the fat (rine) and any white bits. Eating fat is silly as it goes to your belly and clogs up the heart and veins. There will be some fats absorbed into the meat anyhow. You need some fats in diet, but less saturated fats are healthier for you.

Now this is the best bit.. Toast the 2 slices of bread in a standard toaster. For some reason it enhences the flavor of the bacon sandwich rather then doughy bread.

Lightly spread some margarine on each slice. Do not use butter, it is pure fat and saturated fat! it also changes the flavor.

Now the margarine brand I used was called golden canola (aus/nz have it, not sure if the rest of the world do?). Its 60% less saturated the butter, has no transfats and has essential Omega-3 added and zero Cholestrol, hunt around for a similar brand with the same features. Every country have different rules which ban them adding bad stuff into the margarine so it changes the texture and flavor. USA is worse for bad margarines, and contain many bad things. Avoid trans-fat margarines. Margarine with Omega-3 is great for the brain, since most foods lack Omega its a great way to add it back into your diet. If you can't find a nice tasting margarine or a safe one in your country, then stick with butter as it will probably be better for you, but spread it thinly.

The Main Meal

1 Hand size piece of fish, shell fish or palm size piece of steak, lamb or chicken.

3 Table spoons of mash potatoe (boiled) or handful of oven baked wedges/fries but alternate days

1 to 3 handfuls of cooked spinach, or cabbage or silverbeat.

1 Table spoon of carrots, or similar vegetable.

If you don't want cooked vegies, a nice baby spinach, lettice salad with grated carrot and a light olive oil dressing will do the trick.

Have a multi-vitamin supplement with a glass of water. this is optional but can add extra elements that may be missing in your diet. If your suffering tiredness then you most likely missing something in your diet. Example, is some vegetables can lack trace elements depending when soil they grew in.

The Morning MilkShake

Now this is optional but I have a daily shake, and maybe a key element to the diet working and keep the bowls good and reduce cancer risks of bladder and bowl.

First you need to buy some SLIPPER ELM. You can order some online here. Make sure its pure slippery elm, not one with corn flour added.

You also need a good shaker mixer. I use magic bullet. You can order one here. Why do you need to electrically mix it, well simply the herb will float and wont mix using a spoon only. also it wont foam up with a serious mixer doing it.

Plus you need a good flavoring for the Milkshake. A powerd milk flavor is best with minimal sugar. (I use chocolate flavor as works best with the Slippery elm as it can have a not so nice gritty taste. So a strong flavoring is best. Stronger the better I guess).

You need to buy the lowest fat milk about. Here in my country its a Yellow top. It will have a warning such as 'no good' for infants. It tends to be more watery as the fat is removed but may have added vitamins and calcium. Which is good idea as many woman can have weakened bones and need more calcium in their diets. Also calcium is vital for healthy viens and blood flow. You can find more info on such herbals again in the herbal book meantioned before.

Fill the mixer cup almost to the top. (magic bullet cup sizethat is! Not the extreme mixer cups sizes).

1 Table spoon of Slippery Elm

1-2 Table spoons of Choco Milk Flavoring

Blend it for 1 minute. It should be nice fluffy tasting milkshake.

Take this first thing in morning before the sandwich, 15 minutes before hand or longer if wish.

It will give added fiber to the diet, and coat the bowls and slow fat absorbing and will cure you of re-flux and other tummy upsets. (again you can find out mor ein the herbal book if you wish)

Finally, Water!

Now TAP water always has added chemicals. Many say they poison you especially in large quantities. This is debatable, but I would recommend for your daily glasses of water to order a pure magic or similar brand to make you some crystal clear water. taste so much better! You can order here

Seven Keys to Success

  1. Follow the diet religiously.
  2. Drink at least 4 glasses of water per day
  3. Dont cheat and snack inbetween, you should find you dont get hungry
  4. Complement the diet with a good multivitamin tablet.
  5. Print the information on this site so you can refer to it daily.
  6. Dont over do your course size and if you need a drink with the main meal then a small glass of red grape juice. As red grapes contain vital compounds to reduce fatty build up in viens and heart. (Find out more interesting facts in the herbal book meantioned above)
  7. DO some exercise daily and get some direct sun light on your face,

[ ( O ) Order Eat This, Not That! Thousands of Simple Food Swaps that Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds--or More! ]
Description : Eat what you want, when you want--and watch the pounds disappear!

Americans spend more than $400 billion a year eating out, and behind each burger, turkey sandwich, and ice cream sundae is a simple decision that could help you control your weight--and your life. The problem is, restaurant chains and food producers aren't interested in helping you make healthy choices. In fact, they invest $30 billion a year on advertising, much of it aimed at confusing eaters and disguising the fat and calorie counts of their products.

All of that has changed with EAT THIS, NOT THAT!. This book puts the entire food industry under the spotlight, and arms you with the savvy tricks and insider information it takes to eat well no matter where you are. With EAT THIS, NOT THAT! you're the expert in every eating situation, from the frozen food aisle to your favorite fast food joint to your local sports bar. You control your food universe--and lose the pounds you want--because, unlike every other customer, you'll know the smart choices to make--instantly!

EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is jam-packed with secrets the restaurant industry doesn't want you to know. For example: * Burger King doesn't want you to know that a BK Big Fish® Sandwich and fries have a whopping 1000 calories--nearly half your daily caloric intake! (Fish is usually healthy, but not this kind. Find out why with this book.) * Pizza Hut doesn't want you to know that a standard pizza in Italy contains 500 to 800 calories, but the same meal at Pizza Hut can top 2,100 calories! (You'd need to ride a stationary bike for more than three hours to burn off this mistake. Instead, eat all the pizza you want by making smart choices. EAT THIS, NOT THAT! shows you how.) * Macaroni Grill doesn't want you to know that a single serving of their Grilled Teriyaki Salmon has more than three times your daily allowance of sodium! (Cut your risk of high blood pressure by making smart choices at the same restaurant. You'll find them inside.)

If only you knew the industry secrets, you could eat at any of your favorite restaurants--or chow down on everything from the company vending machine to your kids' Halloween buckets--and know that every decision you made was smart, healthy, and the best possible choice for you. For example, did you know: * At McDonald's, an Egg McMuffin® is actually a healthy choice, with just 300 calories. (The Hotcakes pack more than double that amount!) * At Krispy Kreme, all you need to do is order the Very Berry Chiller instead of the Mocha Dream Chiller, and you'll save 500 calories! (Do that once a week and you'll drop more than 7 pounds this year--without trying!) * At Chipotle, you can cut 570 calories out of your Chicken Burrito just by ordering it as a bowl (without the tortilla) and asking them to hold the rice. (Same great taste, but with 94 fewer carb grams!) * Choosing a cinnamon roll at Au Bon Pain over Cinnabon will save you 463 calories and 20 grams of fat! * In the freezer section of your local supermarket, a turkey pot pie from Swanson's has 610 fewer calories than a turkey pot pie from Pepperidge Farms. * In the produce aisle, you'll get twice the vitamin C--and nine times as much vitamin A--simply by picking red bell peppers over green ones. (Who said eating healthy was difficult?)

And that's why EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is going to change everything. It's time to level the playing field. We're all tired of sneaky calories adding to our waistlines, and having to starve ourselves or spend hours on the treadmill trying to burn off the damage. Now--for the first time--you're in charge. With this simple illustrated guide to thousands of foods--along with the nutrition secrets that lead to fast and permanent weight loss--you'll make the smartest choice every time!

{ Rating: 5.0 out of 5 }		 An Enlightening Book
I have all three of the books in this series and this is the best. It covers so much material but uses colorful pictures and short informative descriptions. Things like choosing meats using the terms stamped on packages and the color and type, choosing vegetables, spices, fish and lots more are simply shown and explained. Part of the book is like the first book showing which products in most food aisles are better to buy and which are less desirable. Great concept and guide that will at least aid you in loosing weight or eating better.

{ Rating: 4.0 out of 5 }		 Really Good, Healthy Eating Plan
The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is because I agree with reviewers who say some of the ingredients are tough to come by. I personally have not had that problem but can see where others have. I find this diet easy to follow especially since MUFAs are really filling and help me maintain control over my appetite. The recipes are good and versatile, even for someone like me who's allergic to tree nuts. I don't know if I've lost weight because I don't get on the scale but my clothes are getting looser. The first four days are a bit draconian (I cheated by having hot chocolate made with 1% milk and Zero sweetener from Whole Foods which kept me from getting a headache) but I did notice a change in my level of energy and that I felt "cleaner" somehow. And hey, any diet that allows chocolate has to be a big hit with women of a certain age.

That being said, the number of calories this diet suggests (1600) seems high unless you are exercising (which I am). I would think you could cut back on the amount of snack calories and still feel pretty strong. You won't lose weight that quickly but you won't starve, either, one of the reasons Weight Watchers was so tough for me. To be fair, the book contains a chapter on how to exercise so you can't just sit in front of the tv eating and expect to see great results.

One caution, do NOT buy this book directly from Rodale. They charged me $39.94 and when I didn't send my first payment in on time (it being the Christmas season with its inherent craziness), they added a $4 surcharge, so now they say I owe $43.94. I could not reach their customer service and was left on hold listening to New Age music for about 15 minutes. So I'm sending the book back as soon as my copy from amazon comes in.

Description : What to eat, what not to eat, and how to think about health: a manifesto for our times

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." These simple words go to the heart of Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, the well-considered answers he provides to the questions posed in the bestselling The Omnivore's Dilemma. Humans used to know how to eat well, Pollan argues. But the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused, complicated, and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists-all of whom have much to gain from our dietary confusion. As a result, we face today a complex culinary landscape dense with bad advice and foods that are not "real." These "edible foodlike substances" are often packaged with labels bearing health claims that are typically false or misleading. Indeed, real food is fast disappearing from the marketplace, to be replaced by "nutrients," and plain old eating by an obsession with nutrition that is, paradoxically, ruining our health, not to mention our meals. Michael Pollan's sensible and decidedly counterintuitive advice is: "Don't eat anything that your great-great grandmother would not recognize as food."

Writing In Defense of Food, and affirming the joy of eating, Pollan suggests that if we would pay more for better, well-grown food, but buy less of it, we'll benefit ourselves, our communities, and the environment at large. Taking a clear-eyed look at what science does and does not know about the links between diet and health, he proposes a new way to think about the question of what to eat that is informed by ecology and tradition rather than by the prevailing nutrient-by-nutrient approach.

In Defense of Food reminds us that, despite the daunting dietary landscape Americans confront in the modern supermarket, the solutions to the current omnivore's dilemma can be found all around us.

In looking toward traditional diets the world over, as well as the foods our families-and regions-historically enjoyed, we can recover a more balanced, reasonable, and pleasurable approach to food. Michael Pollan's bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we might start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives and enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy.

{ Rating: 4.5 out of 5 }		 One of Us...One of Us..join us..forever and...ever
I have to say I'm prejudiced towards this kind of book that offers the reader a "lifestyle". With that said, I probably follow a lot of the ideas in the book, but I didn't have to read the thing to come to obvious conclusions like eating fewer portions of food will make you thinner. Really? Processed food is bad for me? Wow, I've been living a lie.

Though it won't explain how some people live healthy and long lives and they eat crap, drink too much, and smoke.

I'm impressed with the way these books tend to spread through the NPR-New Yorker crowd and make everyone jump all over themselves with enthusiasm. I heard Pollan on NPR and it seemed that his "wisdom of the grandmother" was a little too wistful and a bit false.

My grandmother smoked like a chimney and boiled the hell out of everything that she cooked, draining most of those nutrients out the door. Maybe if I had super-Oma or idealized nanna, she might have opened the oracle and showed me the way to live better and not be so nasty.

We eat differently than people two generations ago. To compare they way we eat to the way they ate is loaded with comparisons that don't make much sense because the conditions are much different. Processed food was not nearly as pervasive as it is now.

After reading the Jungle, I don't think anyone is going to make the case that sausage from a local company counts as "good honest" food compared to the way that some larger companies load their meats up with preservatives and fillers. Given a choice between a rat or some guy's finger and MSG, I think I'll go with the MSG.

It will be interesting to see what the next fad will be. Maybe it will be that processed food is better for us. I can't help thinking about that scene in Woody Allen's now dated film Sleeper, where a man wakes up in a totalitarian future to find two people trying to explain what his "health food store" was all about while they explain that smoking was found to be healthy and red meat was also good, especially when it's fried.

Description : Life-Altering Secrets from Today’s Cutting-Edge Doctors and the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Ageless

Today’s most trusted advocate of anti­aging medicine, Suzanne Somers, deepens her commitment to helping people lead healthier, happier lives by opening their eyes to cutting-edge, proven remedies and preventative care that most doctors just aren’t talking about with patients: longevity medicine and the more progressive study of bioidentical hormones.

As we age, certain hormones diminish, creating an imbalance that can set off everything from perimenopause to cancer, beginning as early as our thirties. This hormonal imbalance is causing many to feel depressed, anxious, fatigued, sexless, sleepless, and ultimately ill, sometimes even terminally. What’s more, Somers and twenty doctors in the field of antiaging medicine argue that the processed chemicals in foods and pharmaceuticals we ply ourselves with are actually slowly eroding our bodies and minds. So we’re getting slammed twice. From estrogen dominance to deceptive thyroid problems, people are suffering, and most don’t have access to the treatment they truly need to get better and thrive . . . until now.

Breakthrough explores cutting-edge science and delivers smart, proactive advice on the newest treatments for breakthrough health and longevity.

In addition to being a pioneer in a rapidly growing health field, Somers is a passionate, caring individual whose own life was derailed by disease and brought back to unimaginable, feel good heights that she wants you, too, to experience.

{ Rating: 4.0 out of 5 }		 A must Read, but a little wordy
Suzanne Somers does a great job of explaining bioidentical hormones with her group of doctors. She is very repetitive and the treatments recommended will financially break the average person. The recommendations, however, are insightful and well worth a try, if you can afford to. I did get some supplementation ideas from this book and will give that a go. We will see if BREAKTHROUGH medicine makes it into mainstream and our health insurances pick up some of the tab, because what she says does ultimately make sense.

If I could afford to, I would do all the tests recommended and get on these natural alternatives, now before I age and before I get sick.

This book is recommended and the rating of a 4 is because she is longwinded and repeats herself. Otherwise, read and enjoy, I did in a couple of days. It has a lot of useful information.

{ Rating: 4.5 out of 5 }		 Excellent book for families
This is a great book. I've tried many and not only are the recipes high fiber, low sugar, and low fat but my kids (4 and 8) thought they tasted great. My husband loved the marinara sauce and the "new meatballs". I may be an experienced cook but I found the recipes very easy to put together unlike some other low fat cookbooks, and the ingredients easy to find in the grocery store. Definitely a home-rum in my view!
