[QUOTE="R V, post: 1160777, member: 18595"] There are a lot of good ideas here, but don't forget diet is a 4 letter word and should rarely be used. Lifestyle modification - both dietary and exercise - is the key and yes, this is my everyday job and probably my future with my family history. My uncle, who is also a MD, lost over 100lbs and has kept most of it off with a low insulin diet which is fairly simple in theory. Complex carb's (whole grains) and not simple/refined carb's. More fruits and vegetables. Balance complex carb's and protein with breakfast and snacks. Lunch and dinner = 2 servings of green vegetables/salad to 1 serving of protein to one serving of carbohydrates. Don't forget that salad dressing is a hidden enemy for most of us. Once a week you get a free meal that must be eaten within 60 minutes and the above ratio is allowed with whatever volume you can eat. For example 3 pieces of pie would = 3 servings of lean meat & 6 servings of green vegetables. The more difficult part is making sure carbohydrate and protein servings are appropriate (small enough) and green servings are appropriate (large enough). This isn't complicated, flashy nor expensive, but is very effective. [/QUOTE]
