[QUOTE="determined45yearold, post: 1481495, member: 387632"] HI seagal75, Please don't put yourself on any diet that consists of bacon/egg and the same few meals as you will well and truly screw yourself. Yes you will lose the weight with ease and you will feel better than you have done in a long time (for a while). You will think you have this disease under control but before you know it you will have lost a lot of muscle along with the fat, your arteries will have stiffened and then once you want to try and get away from eating bacon/eggs it will be too late. You'll end up at the point where you will be battling each and every day to keep the muscle you have left and unless you are super strict on a well defined varied diet of 2000 ish calories you could be in trouble. I am speaking from experience as I have screwed my self in only 6 months. I thought it was all about weight loss, oh boy was I wrong. Slow and steady with lots more walking and resistance exercise to keep your muscles healthy is what is required not a quick weight loss program. Do it slowly over a year or so as you will save yourself and your family a lot of heartache and if you don't know how to learn how to cook or enrol on a course to help you. All the best [/QUOTE]
