Free Diet Dinner Menu #14 - Choose & Lose Diet Plan

Steak & Tators

About 35 years ago, I remember a diet that was circling the Diet Village that consisted of enjoying all the steak, potatoes and salad that one wished to eat at one sitting. The remainder of the day consisted of water. Because this type of diet encourages both starvation and bingeing - it can wreak havoc on the body.

As a note, I must add that my boss at the time was on this diet plan and lost a considerable amount of weight (about 50 pounds). Shortly after she lost the weight, she quickly regained the weight. Generally, quick weight loss equals quick weight gain. Even so, protein is an important part of the daily diet - and our basic Steak & Tators is packed with protein.

Enjoy the following for about 450 calories:

2 1/2 ounces of extra lean sirloin steak grilled, oven roasted, pan roasted (using cooking spray or a bit of olive oil) - about 145 calories

1 small baked potato (120 calories)

1 side salad consisting of 2 cups of baby spinach OR chopped lettuce, a few cherry tomatoes OR 1 small chopped tomato, a bit of cucumber and a serving of light salad dressing (about 100 calories)

Any variety of bread (bread sticks, roll, etc.) up to 70 calories +

Pat of butter/margarine
