"I fell asleep during a documentary my wife and I were watching and woke up to her saying, 'We're vegan now!'," Video Producer Jonathan Boulton confessed. Despite the occasional mess-up, Gore says the shtick's working: "It's a random rule and a random time, but it has helped a lot to cut back on the constant snacking." "I went vegan and lost 30 pounds." "I certainly didn't want to start gaining weight, so I stopped snacking before I had the chance!" Gore wrote. It was more preventative than a weight-loss solution. "I don't eat anything - not one bite of anything we make - after 2p.m.," she explained. She didn't just cut out a food group she stopped munching altogether. Gore did something brave, something no Delish soul had done before. They're three bites of cake instead of a whole slice or a banana pudding dip - because there's fruit hidden in there somewhere. And snacks, by Delish standards, aren't nutritionist-approved hummus and veggie cups or a handful of nuts. "I was snacking all day long, and when I would get home at night, I was never hungry for dinner," she wrote in an email to me. Test Kitchen Assistant Makinze Gore lasted about two months at Delish before devising a plan. Her kryptonite: "My weakest moment is anytime the kitchen makes anything chicken Parmesan." "I don't try any Delish recipes after 2p.m." Ramsey has made half-hearted attempts to start up Whole30 again, but they never stick, so she's employed what she refers to as "the famed two-bite rule of tasting Delish food." It's exactly what it sounds like: two bites, then you walk away. "I've never lost weight like that from any kind of lifestyle change." There was even a day she had to bite into - then spit out - a dozen chocolate truffles for a photo shoot, but it paid off: "I ended up losing 11 pounds in 30 days," she revealed. Ramsey's reset meant a month of chocolate-filled, cheese-topped, candy-stuffed dishes flaunted in her face. "My birthday is right after the holidays, so it's more than two months of constant eating and drinking." "I felt like it be would be a cool thing to try since I'd read so much about it," Ramsey explained to me in an email. It's the fad eating plan ("diet" is a four-letter word to Whole30's founders) of the year. But completing Whole30 is kind of like wearing a badge of honor in 2017. "Life is too short for such a restrictive diet, especially for a Delish editor," Lindsey Ramsey, Delish's managing editor, wrote. Why not cut this weird amount of meat out of my diet?" It's only been a month since Abraham quit meat cold-turkey, but the results are clear: "I just feel better when I leave at the end of the day," she said. "When you're in the kitchen, you're always eating when you're not hungry. "I had days here where I would eat three different kinds of meat, and that grossed me out," she told me. "I didn't want to expose myself as the one who doesn't want to eat meat!"Ībraham's goal was more about her general health than weight loss. "Trying everything is such a big part of our job," she explained. You'd think Assistant Food Editor Lena Abraham was about to confess to murder when she told the Delish staff she'd become a vegetarian. "That'll probably happen in about 10 minutes." "I was nervous to tell my coworkers I was vegetarian." (It's day four.) "My plan is to start bringing my own snacks to work, so I have healthy options the next time a bacon spinach dip arrives," she explained. "I took one bite, walked away, came back, ate another bite, then somehow half the tray of cake was gone."įor Hursh, the cleanse was the kick-off of a 60-day healthy eating challenge. "There was a Coca-Cola cake that came up a couple months ago," Smith wrote. Smith's whole goal was to curb cravings and stop all of her grazing, which is basically an Olympic sport for Delish employees. This content is not available due to your privacy preferences.
