Does anyone here know of a highly structured diet program here in Korea that provides all the food, and tells you exactly what to eat and when?

I don't have the self-discipline to go without a highly structured system, especially when I pass a Mickie D's everyday...

The structure is very important for me.

I don't know but I'd be interested to get info on one if such a thing exists. I walk by weight loss centers and "herb diet club" places all the time, but I doubt they're the same.

If you don't have the willpower to lose weight on your own, joining some dumb group isn't going to help.

Man, now that's what I call lazy.

It has nothing to do with will power. You can cook healthy and tasty food at home, even with the mini-kitchens we get in Korea. You dip into McDs because you're lazy. So lazy that you want food brought to your door. What's next? People put the food in your mouth and move your jaw up and down? Wow. I guess Wall-E was right.

In the west, you can buy healthy low fat meals at the grocery store that are quick and convenient. You can also eat out at subway, quiznos, etc. This is for people who don't have time or hate cooking. But here, that option doesn't seem to exist unless you want to eat Kimchi. Was definately more easy to keep weight down in the west, along with more fancy and spacious gyms. Heat and cold keeps you inside for part of the year and the only quick food is either gimbap or hamburgers. Definately isn't always easy to stay slim. Weight loss place that gave you instant meals and an easy to follow meal plan would be ideal. But I bought a pretty good book with some usual tips a few months back.

Some basic recipes, food groups, and good free weight exercises. I haven't done it religiously. But I have noticed some differences in terms of arm strength.

I think you could try this - I would but I watached it when I was a skinny kid so I did not use it....

You would look cool to just go to a food place and pull out your Deal A Meal cards and say

WHHHHEEEEWWW Deal-A MEEEEAALLLL !

Anyhow I think you should fill you fridge with caarots and greenleaf vegge foods.... and just do not buy chocolate, pork, chicken, and candy like me... oh and maybe just eat fresh water tuna - I knew this HUGE Grunt guy who would just eat tons of Spring water canned tuna and eat that powdered bone stuff and lift and he was the bomb of course in Oki you can't do much else but that and swim...

Low carb is easy in Korea. Do it, see results.

What you need is willpower.
