I am very new at this. I have been on a program, but I am looking to do more. So far in 3 months have lost 18 pounds, and need more help with my diet. A buddy would be great to help me on what to do to eat better and healthier. Have 2 small kids, and both my husband and I need to set a good example. He is trying to get healthier too. I am Too big to keep up with them, it is time for a change.

well this is what is really taking it off of me! low carb i did not believe it but i started last week well 5 days ago and i have already lost 5 pounds! i was on low fat but i switched


breakfast - scrambled eggs and cheese with salsa and sour cream

lunch- grilled chicken breast- and broccoli

dinner- steak, and spinach with olive oil and shredded cheese



you can cook with butter not margarine, also cook with olive oil

you can eat green veggies only- green beans,spinach,broccolli ,asperagus


no peas, lima beans, no beans unless green beans!


meat- any kind you want, hot dogs(nathans) not too much i think nathans only has 1 carb which is good,

no fruit

eggs all you want


it is not hard and you will lose keep carbs under 20 a day to really lose!! read up online

make sure to drink very important 8 glasses of water a day you will not lose good without it i promise


make sure to do 30 mins of exercise daily!


good luck it is not that bad i have a man to i just cook my meat the same as his and i do not eat the same sides! he never knows i made his steak or chicken with olive oil!


good luck

This sounds very similar to the grapefruit diet, which works but is hard for me cause I do NOT like grapefruit juice. Is it the same one? Do you drink gf juice?

I never thought to do the diet w/o the juice!

Thanks for the info!
