I do something similar, but I basically eat leafy greens, veggies, fruits, legumes, and a few other things. I lost 20 lbs doing this without too much exercise. The best thing about it was big drop in blood pressure and cholesterol and i feel wonderful. i'm never going back to eating the garbage i used to eat. and i refuse to take pills. a friend reported similar weight loss - actually better. it's a great feeling to lose it tho - isn't it!!! lifestyle eating is a better description.

I'm glad I can help. Hang in there, you're doing a great job! I believe in what Zig Ziglar says "You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want." It's a karma thing! Take care and see you soon!

I've still got a ton to learn about this blogging stuff, and it gets frustrating at times, but getting to know some other helpful bloggers like you make it a lot better. Thanks a ton John!

Yes, the Hindu Squats are kind of scary, when you first start! On the dinner menu, that's a great idea! I will try to put something together soon. I really appreciate you participating in the conversation. Also, I do enjoy your site as well. Lots of cool goodies over at http://webgoodies411.blogspot.com/ . I have become a regular reader!

Congratulations! Keep up the good work. I enjoy your site and your great tips and recipes. Those squats look a little scary though ;) I would love to see your dinner menu for the week along with side dishes. We can find low-fat menus all over the net but I'd rather get it from someone who actually eats the food and loses weight. I've thought about Alli but not sure yet. Thanks for this post, it encourages me. Great going John! Congratulations! Keep up the good work. I enjoy your site and your great tips and recipes.

I assume this helped to curb you appetite? This is an area I am still working on; portion control. My problem is I love to eat good food! And lots of it! So I have been looking for something to help in this area. Maybe I'll give it it try. BTW, I spend alot of time on the computer as well. This is where my daily walks have really helped. It is a pick-me-up. My energy level actually increases after walking. I highly recommend it! Also, I'm glad to hear you find some value in my tips! That's what it is all about. Thanks for your support! =) Robin - Thanks for sharing the tip about herbalife. I assume this helped to curb you appetite? This is an area I am still working on; portion control.

I'm sure you feel better & have more energy. Your health is very important. This could help you to live a longer life. I had lost 30 pounds after my 3rd child. I took herbalife. I had a protein shake every morning & a lean ham meat salads at work. For supper another protein shake. Anyway herbalife had helped me lose my weight. I do not work a public job anymore & I am not using herbalife. I have put some of the weight back on. I need to exercise & drink more water. I like my soda. I am on the computer a lot & I need to try & get my health back on track. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sure I will follow some of your tips. :-) Robin Hi John,

When I was your age the last thing on my mind was my health! In hind sight, I should have starting thinking about these things back then. I would not have so many areas in need of improvement now! You are correct about making permanent changes rather than putting yourself on an unrealistic diet. By doing so, I don't feel deprived and I am less likely to binge. I have tried "crash" diets and they don't work. In fact I usually end up gaining everything back and then some. Also, by blogging about it, I have put myself in a position where I really don't want to fail. I have publicly announced what I am doing which keeps a certain amount of pressure on me to succeed. On another note, I have become a regular reader of your blog http://youngdough.com . Keep up the great work!

When I came to college this year, I was determined to change my eating habits at the time when most students begin eating worse and worse. I have noticed a difference big time. I've gained about 12-15 pounds of muscle while losing probably 5 pounds of fat. Now, looking back, I can't believe how crappy I ate in high school. Like you, I've just made fundamental changes to my eating habits without doing anything wacky that's impossible to stick to. Nice work!
