I have lost over 35 lb in the last 18 months under a doctor's care! It's not that hard. PORTION CONTOL!!!!!!!! Trust me; it's been a lifetime battle and this works! Up the veggies; lower the carbs (don't eliminate them - they're important, but you don't need a 450 gm bag of chips at 9 o'clock ...). Have them early in the day. Keep your meat to a reasonable amount (pack of cards)! Trust me! Yeah, you're gonna fall off the proverbial wagon now and then, but that's OK. Think HEALTHY EATING; not necessarily weight loss and you will be gold! I will see you in 2 weeks )!!!) and we can talk more. Forget the fad diets and the eat only stupid stuff ... go realistic. Something you can LIVE with FOREVER! Oh. And eat more slowly! And you don't need a Monster Gym membership. WALK! Just move! Again, something you can live with. Swim a few laps in the pool before your shift twice a week. Or after ... be sensible. And don't expect miracles tomorrow .. it took a lifetime to get the extra weight ... it ain't gonna go realistically in 3 weeks. Hungry? Have a hit of celery .. then a PORTION CONTROLLED amount of chips. Always size your servings. Eat slowly and ask "why am I eating this?" We will talk June 22nd 23rd!
