I needed to lose some weight. I went from 220 pounds to 200 pounds in a month.
      I went on a one steak or fish salad a day diet plus a one a day vitamin pill.
      Salad dressing OK. No wheat. You'll save money on food.

      The steak and fish for the needed protein and the salad for roughage. No salad and
      you won't poo for days. Some dried fruit now and then if you get really hungry but
      only if you get really hungry. If you are not hungry from time to time you are not
      losing weight.

      Rode my bicycle at least 5 miles every day. Other sustained exercise like running
      will work. Horse Power needed to ride the bike consumes fat or food fuel.

      I have a scale that is supposed to have a resolution of .1 pound but I don't
 think it
      is that good. More like .2 or .3 pound resolution. Every day I was somewhat lighter
      in weight. About a half pound a day. It is important to weigh your self after you
      empty your bladder and bowls and while you are naked. The scale gives you positive
      feedback so you know the diet is working.

      I also noticed I lost weight while I was sleeping. Curious?  I applied the laws of
      thermodynamics and decided body temperature was causing me to lose heat to the
 cooler
      atmosphere. It takes fuel to generate heat or HP. Fuel weighs. Those of us in the
      engine biz know that all too well. The body burns fat to make heat.

      The accurate scale is the key.

    Get the book "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes. Published in
    June 2007, this book saved my life. In six months I lost 35 pounds,
    without exercising, never feeling hungry..
    Everything your government has been saying about diet is bogus, and this
    book tells you why and who puts out the bogus info.
    Taubes spent 7 years reviewing other studies, pointing out the bogus
    interpretations and faulty study constructs.
    He interviewed over 500 scientists, medical association directors, and
    politicians to put together a picture of how bogus ideas are promoted
    into public policy.

    A great read, documented with 140 pages of footnotes.

     From a thermodynamics point of view swimming takes less time as the heat transfer
    rate from skin to water is higher than skin to air.

  Use Chinese diet method, very effective..............use one chopstick!!

 So you lost almost four gallons of av gas. ;-)  That's a great way to
 extend your range.  It's also a lot cheaper than trying to lose 22
 pounds from your air frame.

 Beaver fever Aye Dale, Is that a teenage Male condition?, Characterisied by
  Eyes like china plates, a slack jaw, a tongue that exteneds out and down and
over active saliva glands. and sometimes friction burns to the nuckles lol,
 think I had that once, or twice, maybe it was an extended condition
ha ha ha ha.

Diet books are many and varied. My take is food is energy, Exercise
burns energy,
 use the energy equations to balance weight. Eat less or burn more energy.
 A body builder eats extraordinary amounts and can still maintain even
weight due to
 their burn rate. I have always been lean (6ft 70 kgs) when I was
studying full time,
 8am-5pm sitting on my ass was the first time I put on weight ever, 15
kgs in 12 mths.
As soon as I started exercising again it fell off. If you find
exercising fun, it's easier. Find an
activity you enjoy and it's not hard work. Those new gaming consoles work,
We bought an xbox 360 kinect for Christmas 2010, mate what a
work-out!! over did it and was
aching for days, but had a ball, laughed and sweated like mad.
(laughing is great for that six pack. LOL)
Good onya Paul, way to go mate !!!
