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.

One good habit to get into, besides eating more veggies, exercise etc.,
is to know how much you normally eat at a sitting, then in future quit
after you taken in 80% of that.
Stay clear of sugar drink, cheese (pizza) and booze. Booze can make you
pregnant . Here is another measurement milestone almost as accurate as
your scale, if you start having to adjust the watch band and waist line
of your pants, you are getting somewhere. A frozen prepared meal from
the super market is the easiest way to quantify the calories you are
taking in, just read the label. Stay away from Golden arches and KFC.
They changed the name to KFC to hide what the middle initial stands for,
but they are fooling nobody.
It is just a number game, If you take in 4000 calories a day, and you
use 4100 cal that day, and the next etc, your weight have no where to go
but down.
Losing weight , like to quit smoking, it is easy, I done it so many
times before!!
Just don't carry that too far, it is just as bad if a coat hanger have
more meat around it than you do. Maybe the Wheeler Express would now be
a 4 seater again instead of 2?!
