The Two For One Diet

Are you trying to loose a few pounds, but can’t keep yourself away from eating out? Try the two for one diet. You will loose weight, save money and have more fun than any other diet.

The concept behind the diet is simple: share your food with a friend.

Restaurants give FAR too much food for one person to eat at a single serving. Typically people either take the extra portion to-go (for late night snacking) or they loosen the belt, and swallow the rest down. The “two for one diet” encourages you to SHARE your dish with a friend.

If you are the type who likes to order appetizers, a main course and then dessert, you probably find it very difficult to stick to any sort of diet while out to eat. The Two For One Diet makes it easy to taste everything while maintaining reasonably healthy portions. Share an appetizer, share a meal, share a dessert… it’s that simple.

Question: What kind of diet lets you eat appetizers, a meal and the dessert?

Answer: A good diet.

You see, if you can eat what ever you want, you are more likely to stick to a diet, and will have a more, well rounded diet. Diets that encourage you to cut out your carbs or fats or sugars are just unreasonable, and in the long run will cause you to limit your diet, and thus rob you of the full range of nutrition available in the foods you cut out.

The real key to dieting (and I’m not the first to say it)… EAT LESS FOOD. It’s that simple.

So why is it that when we go out to eat, we order appetizers, full meals and desserts and try to consume them in the proportions given to us? The fact is, going out to eat can be a healthy way to socialize and get out and about. But if you stuff yourself until your button pops, you’ll be tired and lazy and ready for a nap.

Here’s a thought. Start your own Two For One dieting group. In a group setting, you can order more dishes and desserts, and share between the group. Just make sure to keep the ratio at two to one, so that everyone is sharing and nobody is forced to consume a full meal all by themselves.

If you regularly took all your “out to eat” sessions per week and turned them into “Two For One” dieting sessions, you will loose weight, save money and have more fun because you won’t be so stuffed you can’t move.

You will not go hungry on the two for one diet, and you don’t have to deprive yourself of the tastes you love. You do not have to limit what items on the menu you can or can not eat, and most of all, you don’t have to pay for it later with all the extra pounds that restaurant eating can put on.

Spread the word and start your own two for one diet or dieting club. Get your friends involved. Imagine meeting once a week to chat and eat and laugh and eat, and dieting all the while. Oh what a perfect world it could be.
