There are good and bad drinks, however this diet is about timing so ideally you will drink white wine, white spirits if you can with diet mixers such as tonic or soda water. White wine spritza may well be an 80's fashion drink but makes your allowance last much longer. For every glass of wine have a large glass of water, plus a large glass of water before you go to bed this also helps reduce hangovers.

Every night have a mug of hot water with slice of lemon

Portion control... I found I cooked double portions compared to perhaps a meal I would get in a restaurant. Portion control is easy, take a normal size dinner plate, for breakfast and lunch you should see at least 1/3 of plate empty. The height of you food should be no more than 2 CM. For desert you should have a smaller plate probably 1/3rd of size of dinner plate.

Please do this approx, remember this is about a life change not controlled diet experiment!

Fitness control... You need to work out 3 times a week for at least 40 minutes allowing for a 5 min warm up and 5 min stretch warm down. Monday, Wednesday and Friday work well. Dont worry about going to a gym I workout from home. My living room with all furniture pushed back makes for a good dance studio. In first month, you need to enjoy working out if it becomes a hasle you have broken all chance of loosing weight. Put all your favouite up tempt songs onto one cd and time if for 30 minutes. Your warm up should be stepping, lunges and a few squats basically you are warming up mussels. For 30 miuites dance your heart out! move your legs with perhaps some kicks to front, side and back, use your arms to punch forward and out to side. Squat to sound of music generally work up a sweat dancing keep moving and dont stand still if you are out of breath at least step on spot with some arm movements. After your dance work out do at least 50 stomach/ab crunches sets of 10 with 30 seconds rest will be good for beginners. After your first month invest in a kick boxing DVD workout video, you should now have a good basic fitness level. Kick boxing with dance will allow you to start toning all areas of your body with a maximum fat burn.

Note this is for someone of around 13/14 stone, larger you are longer you need e.g. 16 stone you need 2 months minimum and 18 stone 3 months minimum of dancing before you get into a dvd workout.

I am accounting that you will be doing light housework through week, if you dont add at least 20 minutes into your sunday which could be a long but brisque walk. Walking dog during week doesn't count as your exercise this is a little bonus!

Even though we're intelligent enough to know that our life is good, that most television programs and all commercials are negative, majority of people still sit there and soak it all in.

It’s scary to think how as a society we've allowed this to have such a profound effect on us. Television advertisers take most basic human needs, social stimulation and community, mix it with perception fallacies, like "we're not good enough" without whatever it is, and push it out. Why is it so easy to influence us on how we need to fit into social mode?

Some people say if you don't like it, just turn thing off or do without it. Or we need to be smart enough and just watch "good" stuff. Yet, even when we do that, there are still commercials.

Television is influential enough for humans to change their values and values of all generations that follow. Take a close look at someone who is financially well off and ask them how much television do they watch. The major respond, "they don't have time," some even say they don't even one a television set. Why? Because of its negative influence.

Television can and does bar our own success. This author tossed hers out five years and prosperity has doubled because of it. Her self-esteem is up 1000% and her weight down 35%.

Be smart in your life -- turn of darn tube off -- maybe then you can stop taking so many aspirins or depressants. Don't believe me, prove me wrong, try it for 30 days, and write and tell me that turning it off didn't improve your life.

Television is an addictive habit and all addiction includes a withdrawal stage. The same effect when you are getting off carbs, caffeine, or sugar. Even those are in body and television in your mind, your body will still react. Hence, be gentle with yourself. When this writer weaned off television, she paced in front of it every night just like opening refrigerator to see what’s available when you're not hungry. Television isn't your babysitter, majority of time it's a drug. Children will go through a similar withdrawal stage as well.

The only way to reduce withdrawal stage is to substitute it with something you like to do more than watch television. Make a list of these activities. It will help you when you are pacing in front of that bare spot.

Read a book, have a conversation, play with kids, write a book, there’s so much more to life. Start a business, write a book, volunteer, clean out garage. Oops, last one can't ever be better than watching television but, honestly, you will sure please your wife if you do it.

Take a stand, change by taking new action, and make better choices this month with your time. Eliminate television. Sit in front of a fireplace looking at family album laughing at everyone’s baby pictures. Do this and your self-esteem, and people you share more experiences with, is guaranteed to soar.
