I've been working at loosing some weight for quite some time now. Never have had much success. always stayed at about 200, which is to much.
Over the past four weeks I have lost 15 lbs. On a really easy to maintain diet. Looking to lose an additional 15lbs. This will be a 30 lb loss. And it did it get my sugar levels back in normal rage. Working to stay between 500-600 calories. As close to 0 fats and 0 sugars as possible. Not easy.
Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit
two boiled eggs ( whites only)
2 pieces of melba toast
16oz water
Lunch: Soup
6 oz chicken breast
16 oz water
Dinner Green salad with only one type of green ( Lettus only etc)
6 0z chicken or white fish
1/2 grapefruit
16 oz water
Soup recepie
16 oz diced tomatoes
16 oz mexican blenda tomatoes or canned picante
celery
onions
jalaenos peppers
green chile peppers
chilie pepper
salt and pepper
2 cups chicken broth, I used the broth from boiling the chicken
It is really working and to my surprise I'm never really hungry. The soup speeds up the metabolism. You loose mostly body fat and not muscle fat.

Down one pant size and they are loose.
Down from Extra large Shirt to Large and its loose.
Over all weight drop is 17 lbs. But most important are my numbers
Before B/P 139/89 Now 121/75 this is an average taken twice daily
Sugar Level 145-180 Now 78 Mornings -95 evenings this is an average taken three times daily.
At the end I will have a blood workup to check the colorestol levels good and bad. Also the Trigs to see where they fall. Both have been in the high rage in the past.
I am looking for 13 more lbs to come off.
Stevenson: it is not really a lot of work. I make the soup in a large pot enough for the week. I also grill enough chicken breast for the week at one time, same with the boiled eggs. So it is just a matter of warming every thing up

IF you are only taking in 500-600 calories a day then your body is going into starvation mode and you are doing much more harm than good. I'm all for people being healthy and losing weight, wish I had the sustained will power to do so, but Paul this is not healthy.
I have piped unto you, and ye have not danced!

Not really.....FQ
The calories that I am taking in are good calories. High in Protine. What I have cut out it the large amounts of sugars, starches, and fats. Absolutely no sodas or anything with artificial sweetners. (At least to my knowledge).
On the scale the fat that I am loosing is the body fat. Were I was at 26% I am now at 22%
As long as I can keep loosing the body fat verse muscle or hard fat. I am in safe territory. If I continue to loose weight and the body fat percent does not drop then your assessment would be right.

Down 19 lbs. Went to Penney's yesterday and for the first time in many years bought Medium Polo Shirts.
In addition to the diet I have began a 30 minute walking exercise in the morning and a exercise program in the evening on a bowflex.
B/P this week has averaged 118/70
BLOOD SUGAR: 75-85
Looking to loose 11 more lbs. When I reach my goal it will be the least I have weighed in over 35 years.
Jennifer: My breakfast menu changed this week
1/2 cup egg beaters ( equals 2 large eggs)
1/4 cup onions

This omlet has around 60 calories, less than 3 grams of fat, 0 colestrol about 1 gram sugar and 2 grams carbs
1/2 grapefruit
2 pieces of Melba toast
Comes to around 108 calories Compare that to the Burger King enormous omelet
