MMario... stick to it. It's tough but one of the things that worked for me BIG TIME was accepting that it was gonna take BIG TIME and that I had to be satisfied with slow weight loss. Fast weight loss is not healthy and seldom permanent. It may work if you wanna lose 5 or 10 pounds but it it still doesn't do the body any good.

My goal was to AVERAGE 1/2 pound per week. It worked because it was a reasonable goal. I think that is why I exceeded the average goal overall. And I was never hungry... heck, I did some things that would drive Oprah nuts... like eat two large bowls of ice cream for supper after eating only raw veggies all day (not too often).

I am thinking of a diet book with the details... "The gnu Diet"... and it will be quite thin (yes) as it needent be too verbose to convey the basics.
