Food Network fans, have you seen the Alton Brown special "Live and Let Diet." What do you think?
Brown explains how he lost so much weight, revealing it's in part from eating sardine and avocado sandwiches. Think of it as a kicked-up tuna sandwich. He says the avocado provides a nice smooth and creamy buffer to the salty sardines. Kind of like canned tuna and mayonnaise.
If you like sardines, it might sound better than prepackaged, frozen diet food. But I can't imagine many people would be able to eat them on a regular basis like Brown does. He actually says they're good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. That gives me the chills.
Here's more of what Brown proposes in "Live and Let Diet."
Eat daily:
- Fruits
- Whole grains
- Leafy greens
- Nuts
- Carrots
- Green tea
Eat three times a week:
- Oily fish
- Yogurt
- Broccoli
- Sweet potato
- Avocado
Eat once a week:
- Red meat
- Pasta
- Dessert
- Alcohol
Never!
- Fast food
- Soda
- Processed meals/frozen dinners
- Canned soup
- "Diet" anything
Eat breakfast every day, no exceptions.
