[QUOTE="pianoman, post: 223979, member: 35747"] Great advice already from Viv. One consideration of how fast weight comes off may have to do with how much excess fat mass a person has to lose in the first place. When I started my own diet over 3 years ago [i]-- it is still the way I eat today --[/i] I dropped 25lbs in the first 2 months before it levelled off to a slower rate. My diet (which simply means what I eat) is very similar to Viv's although it may not be right for you... check it out and see what you think.. we each have to find our own way. I am not concerned about naturally occurring fats, I avoid grains, sugars and starches while eating my fill of satisfying, real, whole food. Another consideration for me was to find something that is sustainable over the long term... no point in going too "gung ho", getting burned out and potentially giving up. I am in this for a long and healthy life, so I think [i]tortoise [/i]rather than [i]hare [/i] :) [/QUOTE]
