Diet plan suggestion

Forget about all the diet plans you hear and read about. I have the foolproof method of losing weight. I have lost 30 lbs in the last few months using this plan, so I am proof positive that it absolutely can work.

Pretty simple, actually. Simply go through having your spouse, who is the actual (really good) cook of the family, pass away and discover that you are NOT that good of a cook yourself.

Besides not having much of an appetite anyway, nor incentive to spend much time in HER kitchen, make most of your meals as simple and easy as possible. Like a couple pieces of fruit and perhaps a handful of nuts. A normal "meat and potatoes" kind of meal will consist of a ham sandwich and potato chips. Anything more complicated than that turns into something unappetizing with no incentive to try again in that pursuit.

Only eat when you get so hungry that you feel forced to eat something to shut up your grumbling and complaining belly.

So, nothing to it. Not that I think this would be popular with most people, but it DOES work.
