The Burrito Diet

All I can say is COUNT ME IN! I’m a girl with Irish and German ancestry yet my favorite foods are Italian and Mexican. I could eat Mexican food every single day and last week I almost did. You know when you call the fast food place around the corner and they not only recognize your voice but they know your order and that you’d rather have a free Coke instead of a Pepsi you might be calling too often. And well if you can’t relate then you’re just not doing it right.

OK, so I’ll admit that I can’t fit into most of my jeans (etc.) anymore but I still can’t decide if depriving yourself of the very things that make you happy is the right way to live life. Granted I would rather not become overweight or obese and worry about the health and social problems involved with that but give up eating salsa, guacamole and chips? No thank you!

So imagine my excitement when this ended up in my inbox today! Someone lost 80 pounds eating burrito’s everyday! The unfortunate catch to this is that it still requires some physical activity. I’m still waiting for that diet where you can eat and drink whatever you want, while sitting on your couch channel surfing.

So the burrito is still not the magic weight loss cure I’m looking for (that I know of) but it makes me happy to think about. Matt who’s supposedly lost 80 pounds in 8 months has written a book and has a website. I’m not recommending you try it of course but if you want to read more or download your copy of The Burrito Diet please do and if you end up trying it keep me posted on how it goes until then a girl can dream right?!

I love Mexican food too, I'll try the diet if you will!

The burrito diet sounds like the most delicious, gassy diet ever. It would probably even surpass Atkins in flatulence terms. Um, how did I start talking about farts?

Anyway, I also don't understand why there's not a diet that encourages you to sit around and get fat, but not actually get fat. This is a mystery that I lump in with, "Why can't they just make cigarettes that AREN'T bad for you, but are still addictive?" These problems seem to have win-win solutions.

So funny! I am with you on not depriving yourself - I've gone up a size in jeans (but I refuse to buy new ones, now there's a quandry) but I don't think the way to be healthy is self-deprivation. Bring on the margaritas!
