Losing Weight Omega style , Simple ,Fast and Easy

So, I am not a big talker.And I really hate the legnthy blogs so I will make mine short but sweet.


I have tried every diet known to man! I am thirty years old with four kids so it just seemed like nothing would work.I finally found something that worked but for my budget it was way too too expensive.So I have an at home way to acheive the same results with half of the expense.



So you are all justing foaming at the mouth wanting to know which program I tried that worked.... I'll get to that but let me tell you how much this program costed me first... For a month on "their" program it cost me 540.00 bucks USD! With the economy in its current condition can you believe they were charging that much?!!!! I can't , and the very sad part was it worked for me immediately. The food was delicious and the consultants were incredibly nice.I lost 5 lbs the first five days.So, the name of this very good and expensive program is Jenny Craig.I could not afford the program.So, I decided to make my own very similar program.



I found that when I followed the menus and just had to pop my food into the oven or microwave , I did well.So the flexibility that other diets offer just didn work for me because I would run out of points early in the day and either be hungry the rest of the day or go over my points drastically!


So here goes my plan for structure


Why not get my own low fat prepared frozen breakfast ,lunch,dinner and snack and make my own menu.So thats what I did I went to the local grocery store (Savemart) and purchased 7 smart ones breakfasts, 7 lean cuisine and smart ones lunches, and seven healthy choice and smart ones, a box of special k and nutrigrain bars,one box variety pack 100 calorie snacks , a few smart ones desserts, some vitamins ,a gallon of fat free milk, and some veggies and fruits.


With those items which I bought each brerakfast lunch and dinner for less than two bucks by the way!My whole week worth of food cost about 55 bucks.( I did have two coupons from the smartones website and the lean cuisine website)

Now here is how I planned and gave myself structure for my diet.


Breakfast- Eat a frozen breakfast or special k cereal

half to 1 cup fat free milk

med sized fruit about the size of a fuji apple


2 hours later I would eat


Snack- Nutrigrain or special k bar



2hours later



Lunch- Frozen lunch

House salad w/Fat Free dressing ( as much salad as you like)


2 hour later



Snack- Med sized Fruit



2 hours later



Dinner-Frozen Dinner

at least one cup of vegetables



2 hours later- one of my desserts 100 calorie pack or smart ones dessert or low calorie popcorn



So, I made a menu with the specific meals that I would eat on specific days.SO that it took the "what to eat" aspect out of my week.FOr example- Day 1


Breakfast- Frozen egg mcmuffin sandwhich 210 calories

Lunch- Beef Chow mein 280 calories

Dinner- Smart Ones Pizza 290 calories w/Zuchini for the vegetable

After dinner snack- Chips ahoy 100 calorie pack


As you can see, even after you add the salad dressing, the fruits and vegetables I will still be under 1200 calories for each day! That is the secret! So I essentially am getting all the benefits of the high priced diets with 40 percent of the cost.Which I dont get the one on one weigh ins and consults, but I bought a scale and measuring tape and perform those tasks myself. SO now that you know my plan, lets consider this day one and I will log my progress on the "Omega Diet" from now on.My current weight 209lbs.I will add a picture and update this blog once a week with my new weigh and measurements.
