Hi kmk nice to meet you. It was getting lonley in here.
Well to begin with you need a scedual that will work for you. I used to work nights so I had a shake for breakfast and dinner and a regular meal for lunch. It keeps you from having to go all day without a food meal and you don't have the heavy food in your stomach at night. Also having a snack in between tose meals before you get hungary is key. Have a piece of fruit for one snack and maby a Slimfast snack bar for the other. Also drink lots of water.
When I first started I peed a lot but I think is was just that I had so much water retention from being inactive. It does not last forever. Also it is hard at first to stay on the scedual so if you can don't keep any unhealthey food around to tempt you. Big thing is to treat yourself. I have one day a week of whatever I want to eat within reason. Stop eating when you are full!
Carbs will make you hungry again soon so keep the pasta, rice and potatoes down and eat lots of veggies. When I did this I noticed I felt much better. You need some carbs for brain funtion but you get a lot of them in Slimfast so watch it with you meal.
I take ideas from several diet but the Slimfast is the main thing for me because it is easy and convienient for work.
This plan works especially well for someone who is bussy as you don't notice the not "eating food" as much. Have the meal when you are the longest inactive and the shakes when you are the most bussy and you won't realy notice that you are hugary.
I started this diet just as a way to have something fast and easy for work lunches and was thrilled to find myself loosing weight. I am loosing it very slowly because I don't want to just lose weight but change my whole lifestyle. This means more excersise too. So far I have lost 3 pant sizes. About 60 pounds. Of course I have also discovered that you can't always trust the scale!
Sometimes the muscle you are gaining surpasses the fat you are loosing and you might think you are gaining weight.
TRUST THE PANTS!
Hope this book helps please stay with it. I'll be here to help if you need me.
