First thing I would suggest is speaking to your doctor about any diets you decide to follow. Having them monitor you helps, and then you canmake sure nothing you are doing is adversely affecting anything inadvertantly. My mother had no idea she had kidney problems until she started a protien diet, so monitoring is a very good idea. Personally, I have been on weight watchers and it was fantastic. I did not keep up with it becasue I did not have the money, but if you actually follow the lessons they teach, it works wonders and quickly. My younger brother has been doing Nutrisystem. He does not have a lot of time, being a dealer in a casino, and the prepackaged meals actualy work wel for busy people who tend to bring their food with them to work and such anyway. He lost 60 lbs in about 6 months and his doctor is very happy with his progress. Nutrisystem was the only diet tat ever worked for him, and now that he has lost a good bit of the weight he has to, he is going to be learning to eat properly to keep it off. Short term, cut out snacking at work. Thats where you hit the most problems. Drink a lot of water, and make the water interesting with various no cal mixes that flavor it (weight watchers suggestion). Variety makes that part easier, and I have a list of the additives I have used. Good luck, it is a hard process at first, but it is so incredibly worth the work. and DO NOT wiegh yourself constantly. Seeing no change makes it frusterating. Wait a few days in between weigh ins at the very least. When you see results, thats when you can stay encouraged. DV (65 lbs less of DV than when I started this site, mind you)
