<h3>Why it works</h3>
This technique, the Welland, Red day, Green Day, Method, works for several reasons. First, you have a short term small goal, get back to the current weight target you set for yourself. This is highly achievable, after all you were at this goal only days ago. Second, you get the wonderful and immediate reward of eating what you enjoy after only struggling for a few days. Third, and this is important, you should be gradually losing fat and not muscle because you are interleaving days where you eat ample food with days where you cut back. Your body will not go into famine mode. Losing weight in small increments is sustainable. With the Welland method you are always moving towards your long term target. Fourth, this approach is easily built into a daily habit and it can be kind of fun. On Red days you joke with your friends, no going out to eat unless someone wants to share a plate with me, "its a red day" you say with a bit of sadness. On the green days you celebrate a little. "Wow, the cheesecake looks good, I'm having a piece!" you say, your friends ask about your diet and you can answer "yes, but today is a GREEN day!!".
Good luck and please let me know how it goes for you. I'll be adding a forum to this site within the next couple weeks, until that is in place please email me at matt @ kiatoa . com. with your comments, thoughts, criticisms and anecdotes (positive ones I hope).
Please humor me and call this method the "Welland red day/green day method". Thanks. I'm giving this back to the world for free, it would be nice if I got a little credit for the idea.
