First thing I will say is if you are seriously over weight. (More then 50lbs or so) and are serious about losing weight GO TO A NUTRITIONIST. First thing. One thing I will add is go to a LICENSED nutritionist. I am talking about someone with a PHD and not someone who went to a 6 week course. Thats is step one. If you can not find a nutritionist atleast go to your doctor but a real nutritionist is better. Have them build a diet for you. Thats the biggest problem with fad diets and the thing that most people don't seem to realize. Everyone is different. Everyones body responds differntly to certain foods. I mean some are obvious. Avoid the mcdonalds. In fact scratch fast food pretty much off your list (you can still eat out sometimes but keep it under once a week) Exercise. Dosn't have to be alot. Start out with a goal of 15 minutes a day. Then after a month increase that to 30. With a main goal of an hour a day. Drink alot of water! Do not drink Pop. Keep milk,juice and alcohol consumption to a minium. Which is to say you can drink REAL juice but the stuff you buy at the store is full of sugar and flavorings. If you got anything like a juicer or even a blender then thats golden. Every meal should include atleast one fresh vegtable. Preferablly green. Don't ask me why but those green vegtables just got something going on(Carrots are a exception to that. They are great too) Watch the fat intake but also pay attention to calories and the often ignored carb. If you are a guy I would definitely say you wanna work out with weights atleast twice a week to get the look I know you want. If you are a girl I would still recommend doing atleast a little weight training. Now if only I was to follow my own advice. I would be a stud.

Edit: Oh yea, one thing thats been said by others but I want to add anyway. Do not expect instant results. The biggest thing about going on a "diet" is its not something you can go on and off. It HAS to be a lifestyle change. Completly. How can a diet work if after the diet you go right back to the hamburgers?

He finally beat death in a best 34 out of 67 match. At that time he could ask for any one thing and he could wish for the hope of all mankind... he looked death right in the eye and said ... "I would like about three fiddy" Last edited by BBtB; 05-27-2003 at 10:12 AM..
