No diet, no this, no that. Examine the root cause of the weight.Losing weight meant changing diet styles. Because I work so early (up at 5:50 to be at work at 6:42), I often didn't eat breakfast. Bad. The body then goes into conservation mode. Had to start eating breakfast. For me, it involved Slim Fast and other 'easy' foods. When I say easy, I mean stuff like whole grain cereal, yogurt and chopped fruits.Next, lunch, I often didn't eat lunch either, just junk food. Soup, slim fast or other 'easy' food.Next, smaller dinners. Red meat and fried foods had to be minimzed. Weight loss can be expensive as well since stuff like Olive Oil, Soy Milk (and other Soy products), Whole Wheat and other good stuff, is more pricey than normal stuff.Lastly, exercise. At least a half hour three times a week. I was able to quickly lose weight by doing two hours, five days a week at Bailys. I did an hour of weights and an hour of cardio. Start slow though as there's nothing worse then getting a strain, sore or other pain as it becomes associated in your physical body that exercise = pain.Good luck.</blockquote>
