>Every week, you change a thing or two to allow your body both mentally and physically to adjust to these new eating habits. You should not be looking for a short term diet but rather long term lifestyle adjustments. When trying to loose weight, you should be striving to loose a maximum of two pounds per week. Any more than this and the weight loss is mostly muscle and water, not fat. For every pound of fat you loose, a pound of muscle goes with it. So the next time you hear someone say they have lost twenty pounds, you can tell them they really only lost ten.
Thanks Andre for your input - I read your post with great interest and I must say it sounds like me all over! It has made me think a bit more about how I will approach this. I think I will aim for a half kilo loss per week, guess thats about one pound. Also, I will try and drink more water, less coffee and I plan to exercise a minimum of three days per week - let me tell you that is three days per week more than I am doing now. So, how does that sound, combined with three good meals a day and no junk in between?
Thanks again for your input Andre...best wishes.
Deb.
