If your goal is losing weight, I'd look into the low-carb thing. "Atkins" is the big name for it, but any low carb diet will work fine. And by "diet" I don't mean starving yourself or getting into the "buy our supplements every month" bullshit. Don't let the name scare you into "it's a fad diet thing". It's not at all.

It just makes sense when you know the facts. My Doc is 100% behind me and things look good so far as blood work (cholesterol: the bad kind went down, the good kind went up - that was a major concern for me). I'm excited to see what the full year checkup will show in January.

I'm down 50 lbs since December 27th and it was a piece of cake for me (ok, the first 2 weeks were a bit rough). By the way, I've never bought a supplement or "weight loss product". PM if you want any info.

Also, I did the "Master Cleanse" a few years ago. I went 30 days and it sure cleansed the hell out of me, that's for sure (!!!), but I would not recommend that to most folks. Pretty hard core - and I'm not sure how healthy that really is. Probably not very healthy, but damn the stuff that came out of me.........
