Unfortunately, losing weight is more difficult for some people than for other people. Some
people have the ability to lose weight quickly and some people don’t. My weight loss plan
will generate different results for different people, however, my plan works for even the
people who have been unable to realize successful weight loss on other weight loss plans.

When my husband attempts to lose weight with my plan, he is able to lose 10 pounds per
month or more even though he is 45 years old.

During my entire life, I have never lost more than 5 pounds per month no matter what I
was doing. There has been many times during my life when I was doing some serious
exercise, one hour per day, for 5 days per week and I wasn’t losing any weight.  I finally
created a meal plan that does work for me whether I am exercising or not.

You can anticipate losing anywhere from 4 pounds per month to 10 pounds per month on
this plan depending on your genetics, body type, percentage of muscle in your body and
your age.

This weight loss plan is worth the effort because it does work.

If you want to thoroughly understand all of the details about my weight loss plan and why
it works; you should invest in both of my books:  ’Dawn Perucca’s Weight Loss Memoirs’
and ‘Dawn Perucca’s Weight Loss Crash Course’ and my audio CD:  ‘Dawn Perucca‘s
Weight Loss Crash Course’. You should read both books and listen to the CD many times. 
The information in the Crash Course Book is a quick summary of what is in the Memoirs
book, however, it is not duplicate information. The information on the Audio CD is the same
information that is in the Crash Course Book.

You could listen to the audio CD several times or read, ‘Dawn Perucca’s Weight Loss
Crash Course’ book to understand the basics of my meal plan and why it works.

My books and audio CD explain everything you need to know about how to increase your
metabolism and how you can dramatically increase how many calories your body burns
while you are at rest.

You can learn how to adjust your diet to increase your metablolism and start burning fat
while your body builds muscle with any of these 3 products. My audio CD is almost 37
minutes.  My Crash Course book is 14 pages of text and 4 appendix pages that reference
other people and their websites. My Memoirs book is 55 pages of text and 4 appendix
pages. Most of the people listed in the appendix of my books promote weight loss,
physical fitness and / or how to earn money online by helping others.

Both of my books and my Audio CD are available for $37.00 ($14.00 less than if you
purchased these items separately). If you are not interested in owning all 3, you can
purchase: ‘Dawn Perucca’s Weight Loss Memoirs’ book for $17.00, ‘Dawn Perucca’s
Weight Loss Crash Course’ book for $17.00 or Dawn Perucca’s Weight Loss Crash
Course’ audio CD for $17.00.

Those would be your only expenses.

The chances are high that you will ultimately spend less money on food than you have in
the past after you adopt this new meal plan. Consequently, you will be saving money if you 
consider the big picture.

One of the reasons many people struggle with weight loss is because some people have
a huge appetite and huge cravings.  Many diet plans don’t offer enough food to even make
the hunger go away and they don’t prevent people from having extreme cravings. On this
diet plan, women eat every 3 hours and men eat every 2 ½ hours.  Eating small, frequent
meals is one of the things you can do to increase your metabolism. Every time you eat,
you will be eating some lean protein. The lean protein helps people feel more full, keeps
hunger gone longer than many other types of food do. Frequent intake of small amounts
of protein helps build muscle and prevents muscle loss. One pound of muscle burns
approximately 35 calories per day and one pound of fat burns approximately 2 calories per
day. Just adapting this new style of eating will help your body burn more calories while you
are at rest.

Protein is found in red meats, seafood, nuts, peanut butter, chocolate peanut butter, beans,
eggs, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, and cheese. You will be able to consume a large variety
of different types of foods on this meal plan. Consuming a large variety of fruits and vegetables
daily will give your body the nutrients your body needs to help alleviate extreme cravings.

This meal plan has many different strategies engineered into it to maximize your bodies ability
to increase it’s metabolism.

Every day you would be allowed to consume the proper portion sizes of red meats, turkey,
chicken, pork, seafood, eggs, fat free yogurt, fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese, cheese,
almonds, pecans, walnuts, peanuts, any type of bean, potatoes, sweet potatoes, whole
grain bread, whole wheat bread, pumpernickel bread and other types of bread that are not
made with white flower, any type of vegetable, salads, coleslaw, low-calorie salad dressings,
olive oil, skim milk, some low calorie desserts like sugar free pumpkin pie, sugar-free
cheesecake without the crust, low-calorie ice cream.

One of the strategies within this meal plan involves when you eat certain types of foods.
The types of foods that can cause your blood sugar levels to rise quickly (naughty foods)
should be consumed early in the day.  Late in the day and 2 to 3 hours before you go to
bed each night is when you should be extra careful about which types of foods you
consume on this meal plan. Your body does not burn nearly as many calories when it is
asleep as it does when it is awake. Consequently, this meal plan does not allow sloppy
eating soon before you go to bed.

On this meal plan the types of foods and beverages you would try to avoid would be foods
that are high in saturated fat (bacon and sausage are examples), butter, breaded and deep
fried foods, high- calorie salad dressings, 2% or whole milk, excessive quantities of any food
or beverage that is high in calories, foods that are made with white flour or white sugar, fruit
juices, alcoholic beverages, French fries, potato chips and other starchy carbohydrates that
you have trouble consuming small quantities of.

Another one of the strategies on this plan involves eating small, frequent meals, women eat
every 3 hours, and men eat every 2 ½ hours on this plan.

Eating a variety of foods when you eat is also one of the strategies. Your body can process
a combination of foods more efficiently than it can process individual foods.

If you return to your old eating habits after you have lost weight on this plan; you will be
likely to gain the weight back. If you realize while you are on this eating plan that you don’t
mind eating this way for the rest of your life and decide to keep using these new eating
habits, you will be able to be a little bit sloppy with your eating habits after you reach your
goal weight and you should be able to maintain your weight.

This meal plan encourages the consumption of fruits, berries, vegetables, pecans, almonds,
walnuts, peanuts, whole grain bread, eggs, skim milk, fat free yogurt with low calorie
flavorings mixed into them, seafood, lean meats and more types of foods every day.

This meal plan allows you to do a little bit of cheating if you eat the naughty foods in
moderation early in the day or just before and / or after you exercise.

Whether you are someone who can only lose about 4 pound per month no matter how much
effort you put into losing weight, or if you are someone who can lose 10 or more pounds per
month, you can expect to lose the most weight as soon as you begin this new meal plan.
Expect your weight loss results to slow down a little bit after the first couple of months. The
closer you get to your goal weight, the more slowly your weight will disappear. Once you
reach your goal weight. You will be able to be a little bit more casual with your eating habits.

Most people are able to lose weight more quickly during warmer climates partly because
sweating burns calories. You may be much more successful with losing weight during the
summer than during the winter if you live somewhere that has large climate swings.

Also, you should realize that whether you lose weight by adjusting your eating habits without
exercising or if you lose weight by adjusting your eating habits and exercising. The people
who did exercise while they were losing weight will be more likely to be able to keep their
weight off because people whose bodies have a high percentage of muscle will burn
significantly more calories while they are at rest than people whose bodies don’t have much
muscle. If you didn’t exercise while you were losing weight; you, should consider doing some
exercise after you have lost the weight to help keep the weight off.

I, Dawn Perucca, earned a Degree in Exercise Physiology at Indiana State University. I was
very active in gymnastics and distance running when I was growing up. After I passed the
age of 26, I started gaining some weight.

At first, I thought, I would be able to just exercise and lose the weight whenever I decided
to make that a priority.  I did get around to exercising rigorously. I exercised for about 45
minutes to an hour each day for 5 days per week. I did that for 9 months. All of that effort
only allowed me to drop 5 pounds.

That was when I realized this weight loss business is more difficult than I thought it was
going to be.

I tried to avoid consuming sweets most of the time and I ate low calorie foods most of the
time. I thought that would get rid of my excess weight. That plan failed. My weight was
staying the same.

Eventually, I got around to doing a low carb diet and I was finally able to lose about 5
pounds per month. Nine months later, I was down to the weight I wanted to be. I didn’t
realize it at the time, but, I later discovered. The low carb diet had worked for me because
consuming all of that protein helped my hunger go away and stay away longer than most
other types of foods do. Also, many of the foods that have a decent amount of protein in
them, have a fantastic thermal effect. Many of the types of foods I was consuming at that
time used up a significant amount of calories as I digested them, consequently, my net
calorie consumption was much lower than it would have been if I had been consuming foods
that have a low thermal effect. Eventually, I lost most of my energy when I was on the low
carb diet. Energy comes from the consumption of carbohydrates. My cravings were
becoming worse the longer I was on the low carb diet.

When I was 43 years old, my left eye started hurting. That pain wasn’t going away,
consequently, I scheduled an appointment with an Ophthalmologist. He sent me in for an
MRI. The MRI detected I have a brain tumor. Steroids were prescribed for me immediately.
The steroids I was taking gave me extreme hunger 24/7. All of a sudden I was consuming
a lot more food and I was not being that careful about what types of foods I was eating. I
was told my tumor was cancerous and it might be the most aggressive type of brain tumor.
I was told that if it was the high grade glioma type of cancerous tumor; even if they were
able to get rid of it, it would probably reappear very quickly. All of a sudden, what I was
eating and how much I was eating didn’t seem that important anymore. I had to be on the
steroids to get rid of the swelling around my tumor and left eye. I was on the steroids for
2 ½ months.

My tumor was biopsied 5 weeks after it was discovered. The biopsy results revealed my
tumor is not cancerous.  It is a type of tumor that I was probably born with, or it began
growing when I was very young. It is part of my left thalamus and cannot be removed.  It
will not be likely to increase in size or move around, however, it could produce internal or
external cysts. External cysts are what I don’t want. My surgeon suspects an external cyst
did develop and started pressing against my left optic nerve.

All of a sudden I was aware that this tumor is not going to shorten my life. It was, however,
causing me some pain all of the time and I was getting extreme headaches any time I tried
to do too much exercise or if I became overheated.

Getting back into shape, suddenly became a high priority for me. I did not want to feel this
way for the rest of my life. I was very concerned about how much damage this tumor could
do if I didn’t take good care of my health.  I was determined to learn how to lose weight and
keep it off.

I aggressively researched the topic of weight loss and learned all I could about it. I did not
want to do the low carb diet again. I did not like how it had made me feel and I knew that
consuming unbalanced nutrition over a long time was not a good plan.

I knew I had to overcome the issues I have always had with extreme hunger. I knew that
I need to eat more than most females do to make my hunger go away. I also knew that
the net calories you consume do matter.  I realized that even if my calorie maintenance
level is much higher than the calorie maintenance level of most females my age; I must
have been consuming more calories than I was burning because I was not staying lean
anymore.

Once I acquired all of the knowledge I could regarding weight loss; I completely
overhauled the way I had been eating.

Even though I am 45 years old, as soon as I started eating this way, my fat started
disappearing. As my fat disappeared, my headaches decreased. As my headaches
decreased, I was able to do significantly more exercise. My Brain Surgeon confirmed;
after I had lost a decent amount of weight and my headaches were dramatically better,
that having less fat around my tumor would severely decrease the amount of blood flow
and swelling I could have around my tumor. He agreed that I was doing exactly what I
should do to try to help myself.  What really surprised me is that this new eating plan
is so much easier to do than the low carb diet was. I am planning to eat this way the
rest of my life. I need to strive to be lean for the rest of my life and this is the best
plan that I know of to achieve that goal.
