RUSH: I\u2019m getting so many e-mails — because people see my weight loss on the Dittocam — and I\u2019m getting so many e-mails, ‘Why can\u2019t you tell us what –‘ Folks, it\u2019s not that I won\u2019t tell you, it\u2019s just I can\u2019t. It\u2019s too complicated. I mean putting the menu together is a jigsaw puzzle every day. It would take me 45 minutes every day to tell you what the diet plan is and answer all your questions about why it works. All I can tell you is is that it\u2019s about 1500 calories a day, but you don\u2019t count \u2019em. I don\u2019t know the caloric intake of one thing I\u2019m eating. All I know is that it adds up to about 1500 calories. It\u2019s a factor, but it is the way the proteins, the complex carbs and the fats and even some fruit get put together during the course of the day. For example, you cannot have two proteins at one meal. So I cannot have one night Surf and Turf. I can have five and a half ounces of fillet, seven ounces of chicken or fish, but I can\u2019t combine it. I can\u2019t have three ounces of beef and four ounces of fish. I don\u2019t know why. I just follow it and it works. I\u2019ve never lost weight faster than this diet. But it\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to tell you; it\u2019s just I can\u2019t. <\/p>\n

‘Well, why don\u2019t you put the menu up?\u2019 Because I\u2019d have to put the recipes up and it\u2019s not the business I\u2019m in. I\u2019m not trying to deny anybody this. If you want to lose weight, trust me, I\u2019ve done every diet there is, and they all work. They all work. I\u2019ll tell you what. (interruption) I\u2019m not going to go on Oprah to talk on it. Don\u2019t make me laugh. You disturbed my train of thought in there, Dawn. I was going to say something about this, trying to recapture my train of thought here. I\u2019ll tell you the first three days of this diet, first three or four days are Atkins. You just pound as much protein and fat as you can. If you have a steak, dip it in melted butter, have lobster scampi, scallops scampi, shrimp scampi, no vegetables. No fruit. First week I lost ten pounds. That\u2019s the first three or four days of the diet is Atkins. After that, it goes to this 1500-calorie regimen. If I didn\u2019t have help doing this, I couldn\u2019t do it myself. It\u2019s a jigsaw puzzle putting it together every day, to do it right. I started March 9th. This is June 1st. So June the 9th is going to be roughly 90 days, right? Three months and I\u2019m at 58 pounds this morning. I was at 55, it\u2019s leveled off now to about three and four pounds a week, three to four.<\/p>\n

I do not think about food, this is real food, not boxed food. Real food. The recipes are the key. I look forward to it. I don\u2019t feel deprived. I can see eating this way the rest of my life in fact and be satisfied. Now, I\u2019m not going out. I could but the problem with that is you can never trust the chef at a restaurant. You can tell \u2019em, ‘Please do not put any oil of any kind on the chicken breast.\u2019 But restaurants are in the business of their food tasting good and they do that with fat. Fat is what makes food taste good. And even if you know the place you\u2019re still running a risk that they\u2019re telling you they won\u2019t do it — I want seven ounces of salmon, not seven-and-a-half, not eight, I gotta trust that when it comes out of there it\u2019s seven ounces, you don\u2019t want to go in there with a scale and weigh it, besides it\u2019s precook weight that you have to measure. So I wish you could tell you, folks, but it would be a full-fledged business. ‘You could put the recipes on the web.\u2019 No. I\u2019m not going to turn RushLimbaugh.com into recipe central. If I wanted to do all this I could do it myself right here. <\/p>\n

‘Okay, well, then what did you have for breakfast?\u2019 I\u2019ll tell you what I had for breakfast. I had two ounces of an egg beater omelet with four ounces of fat free milk to stretch it and a quarter cup of chopped vegetables, mushrooms, green pepper. Red pepper you can\u2019t have, green pepper you can, and some tomatoes. ‘What did you have for lunch?\u2019 Chicken salad on one piece of low fat whole wheat bread. But the chicken salad, see, I can\u2019t tell you how to make it. All I can tell you is it\u2019s delicious. It doesn\u2019t have any mayonnaise in it. It\u2019s not the chicken salad you\u2019re thinking of. But it does have some lettuce in it; it\u2019s delicious. Dinner, twice a week I have five-and-a-half ounces of fillet, half of a baked potato, a little side dish of pasta and a quarter cup of broccoli. When I started this I got mad, I said, ‘I\u2019m not going to lose weight eating this much.\u2019 I couldn\u2019t believe it, but it\u2019s worked. <\/p>\n

No exercise except golf. You cannot drink, no adult beverages. Well, probably now if I wanted to have a glass of wine once or twice a week I could do it without throwing the diet off. But when you\u2019re starting you can\u2019t. It\u2019s not the calories. Alcohol gets metabolized as pure sugar and that requires insulin, and insulin is the biggest enemy of weight loss because insulin is what\u2019s necessary to store fat. So any diet worth its salt you\u2019re going to be eating very little sugar so that you trigger as little insulin as possible because that shuts down the weight loss process, that\u2019s why alcohol is banned. And now the only alcohol diet that works is if you don\u2019t eat anything then you can drink all you want. But the minute you eat something you\u2019re dead. I don\u2019t know too many people who can just drink all day long and be functional. But that\u2019s the only alcohol diet I\u2019ve ever seen that works. I could name you a couple of people that do that, but I would get sued for revealing trade secrets of famous people. So I\u2019m not going to do that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
