Default The Taco Bell Diet

i love taco bell, eventhough we all know it's not *real* mexican food

when i was in college, i had an image problem and wanted to lose some weight, but i didn't want to not eat what i love to eat, so this is how i shed 30 pounds in 6 months:

breakfast: coffee, fat free milk, no sugar, and plenty of cigarettes

lunch: 2 regular tacos (180 calories each with cheese, according to taco bell) without cheese, 1 large ice tea no sugar, and plenty of smokes

dinner: something sensible and small portioned, and lots of smokes.



i didn't really exercise (walked a lot more), but i DID start eating VERY slowly. i'd eat one taco (lots of hot sauce), stop, smoke a couple of cigarettes, drink lots of ice tea, and slowly disect the second taco. i went from a 38 waist down to 31 waist in 6 months, it also coincided with my return to korean/asian clubs with a vengeance at that time. so whenever i hear "young turk club", "H-O-T", or even "Anh Jae-Woo" (sp?) i remember the days of Taco Bell and Korean clubs

there you have it, Mingster's Taco Bell diet.

of course i threw caution and exercise to the wind after i got married (why? i don't know) so 5 years later i'm back to my old "glory and guts", but i did manage to quit smoking (now for 10 months!!! yeah!)

Wow, that sounds particularly healthy, Rich...especially the
"smokes" part!

Maybe you could turn this into millions of dollars the way that Gerald (sp?) guy did it with Subway?!

Congrats on the 10 months of no smoking! I quit smoking 4 years ago and now I have a hard time believing I ever was a smoker.
