DHL lost 85 pounds in 1987



Yes in 1987 I lost 85 pound in less than four months and I did under a M.D’s supervision. Here is the diet in a nut shell. All I had to eat every day was 600 calories. That was it, Oh I had to walk for at least one hour every day and the pound came off like water off a ducks back.

Our neighbors Doug and Marsha said they could see me shrink a little each day. It didn’t take long before my cloths start to be too large.

What I had to eat was powdered protein. It came in 100 calories little packets. I just dumped the package into a class and added Diet Coke. I could have used water but the diet Coke gave it some flavor.

Just so you know it did not have the same ingredients as Slim Fast, but whatever it was it really worked. I had to walk the one hour a day, but could not do any stressful exercise.

During the diet I had to go to Japan on business. The hard part of the diet was explaining it to my Japanese business partners. Once the Senior VP Mr. Inacoma got the picture he took over explaining my diet to everyone we ate with.

At the time I was in Japan they didn’t have Diet Coke but rather a Coke called Light Coke. Every time we went by a vending machine that had Light Coke, Mr. Inacoma would get me a can of it. By the way Japan had more vending machines than you can ever imagine.

After 10 day I was back in the good old USA and about 30 pounds lighter. Now it was time for some smaller cloths. There was No alcohol drinking while I was on this diet.

Finally I hit my goal of 160 pound and that was from 244. Now it was time for a complete redo of my wardrobe and to tell you the truth I hadn’t felt as good as I felt in years and years.

My Doctor did worn me that people would say I was too thin or even worse that I might have some very bad health problem. People did say I was too thin and there were those that would secretly talk to Micki to see how long I had to live.

It is twenty three years later and I am still alive, but not as thin. Here is what I did wrong. I started to eat pasta not a little but a lot that was because at that time pasta was suppose to be the perfect food. Oh I start drinking again.

I never got up to 244 again but I did put on a lot of weight. Though I must say all during this time after the large weight loss I keep walking all most every day plus having a weight lifting program.

As of Dec. 26, 2009 I have told everyone that would listen that on Dec. 30, 2010 I would be 185 and if I am a little less that 185 that will that’s OK. I am on The DHL diet and you can read about on one of my past blog or E-mail me at www.dhalind@gmail.com and I’ll send it to you.

Happiness with wealth to you
