You must learn control.' Or its twin sister, discipline. Each little 'I broke the diet rule' adds up ... A combination of exercise, staying away from processed food (if it didn't come from nature that way, it's processed), and tons of water/tea ... Not to mention watching your portions when eating out (don't eat everything the restaurants serve you, that's not 'one serving') If you notice, asians typically don't get too large because their diets are *primarily* seafood, vegetables+fruits, and they drink tea (good for metabolism). It's cow, bread products, and processed sugars (candy, soda, many juices) that lead to fattening. Diet discipline can lead to weight loss, exercise helps body tonage and weight loss. On paper, it's simple .. burn more calories than you take in.

I'm back up four pounds the last two weeks because of V-day and my mom's guest, but I'm getting back on on Monday. And meat ain't bad for yah! (Though I prefer fish.) If yah can't do the strict phase, skip to phase two. It's slower loss, but it's so much easier. I have days of phase one, but I'm mostly phase two. But, yah, it gives yah results fast--provided you are feeding yourself and not the guest of a (processed/enriched/bleached) carb fiend. Mozz sticks, ricotta cheese, and quiche cups are your friends! Snack, snack, and snack s'more! Signed your QT who is seeing results everyone BUT her damned breasts. (I think I'm stuck at a freakin' D.) I'm gonna be like Erin Brokavitch in the Chicago newsroom this spring. Woo! Anyway, if yah need moral support, you know how to reach me! Hey, don’t give up!
