Two years ago I decided enough was enough. I was 6’2"and 365 lbs. I had been overweight most of my life. I had just turned 50 and I saw on The Doctors a diet that taught you healthy eating habits. I had always eaten with disregard for my health, eating when and what I desired. I also knew my father died at 55 from a massive heart attack. I lost 150 pounds over a 14 month period. I went from having type 2 diabetes with a A1C (3 month average) blood sugar of 278 meaning at times my sugar was over 500. Severe knee pain due to weight as well. I am no longer diabetic and my bp is close to normal and controlled by medication. My blood work is checked by doctor every 3 months with all in normal ranges. I thought I would share with anyone dealing with excessive weight. The book is in paperback now for about $12. I’ll just share the basics of the diet as I used it. I stuck to a limited diet of items in it that I liked. I believe that weight loss is 90% mental. The diet is 4 17 day increments with the first 17 days being the toughest as you detox. NO bread, dairy, sugars(esp. refined sugar)/ Only meats are grilled chicken or baked fish for first 17 days. Then you can have like a boneless pork chop every other day. This keeps you from going into fasting mode where you diet and diet and never lose weight.

Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled in microwave
                fat free greek yogurt with fruit

Lunch: a grilled chicken salad with fat free dressing….no cheese,bacon, and fatty items

Supper: 1 whole boneless chicken breast baked or grilled
            1 can of green beans

Beverages: lipton diet green tea or water

Snacks: 2 fruit a day, seedless red grapes. yogurt

vegetables: green beans, broccoli, asparagus, green pepper, onion, mushrooms….no starches like potatoes, peas, butterbeans, corn

That’s a general overview of the diet. Hope it can help anyone interested in losing weight.

Otherwise, this might be you! lol  :ouch2:
