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 !!!
Beaver fever is a bacteria from untreated water. Geeardia is the
correct name if I could spell it. :-)) I could be enticed by the
cougars at Boston Pizza for exercise, but part of being a cougar is
they are looking for young guys 10-20 years younger. They do not
seem interested in an old lion such as myself.

I have no idea what you are talking about :)
Paul Lamar
In that case, stay away from the Silver Foxes. :-))
Dale Davies
I am sure it's hell being a horny old man.
Paul Lamar
I am staying away from that trouble for now!
