How to Shed 10 Pounds in 5 Weeks - Is it Possible?

We've recently discussed weight loss programs and clinics. While some people have enjoyed a measure of success following a "clinic" plan, they have also regained the weight.

Joy Bauer would have you eat real food to lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks, before the holiday season begins. Here's how:

1. Lose the dressing on your salad, using basalmic vinegar or lemon juice, instead
2. Lose the whole fat milk for skim
3. Lose one slice of bread on your sandwich for open-faced
4. Lose a little time by eating slower
5. Lose the sugar in your beverages

Seems reasonable enough. If you're lactose intolerant, like I am, the dairy issue could be substituted for some other fat in our eating habits. White bread should be swapped out for whole grain. Try sugar substitutes, like Zero or Stevia, if you really need a sweetener.

Anyone game for a challenge to see how well we can do following such a plan of attack on our weight?
