Like any girl I’ve ever known, I have always been in search for the perfect diet. Being on the voluptuous end of the spectrum (and petite at that!), it’s so easy to gain weight in a short period of time (Coz where else will all the calories go on my 5 foot frame? Aside from my boobs, that is.). So I’ve tried a number of fad diets and even took some weight loss pills in the past (which I am not proud of). Though I did reach my desired weight at that time, I was always hungry and moody. I plan to change all that by sticking to a diet plan that does not spell starvation. I may not be fat, but I do need to trim down in preparation for this summer’s activities (like surfing!). So I started asking around on Plurk and on Facebook. They all gave amazing answers like eating more veggies, exercising, swimming, eating the right amount of carbs, etc. But what really caught my attention was this diet plan shared by a friend of mine in Facebook, Michelle Tandoc-Pichereau. She shared with me Robert Lee Brewer’s diet which I promise to follow starting today. I hope to lose at least 10 pounds (20 if possible) to prepare myself for this summer’s activities.
Peter’s healthy meal preparations will definitely help. Here are samples of his dishes…

My Diet (which was actually created by my little brother Simon, the stormchaser)

Okay, while I was in Ohio recently, I had a late-night conversation with my stormchasing little brother, Simon, who lives in Oklahoma. We don’t talk often, but when we do talk, it can sometimes last hours. We used to run long distance, so you learn how to either talk to others or talk to yourself (or both).Anyway, he casually mentioned he’d lost 20 pounds in a few weeks as part of his preparation to do some mountain climbing and hiking later this summer. And his only workout was a once-a-week hike, which is better than nothing, but it’s not like he’s working out every day either. So I asked him what kind of diet he was on, expecting something ridiculously absurd (and unhealthy), but here’s what he gave me:
