I was obese from the age of five to thirty-five. It took me a long time to find suitable ways of eating to be healthy and not gain weight. I hope what wrote helps.

Brilliant, very well done. I am sure your post will help, some lardy larry. So you are saying that wholemeal rice and nuts take a lot of energy for your body to process? You could be right-celery is supposed to be an ultra-negative energy food is it not? I prefer to keep things even more simple 'count the calories and the pounds will take care of themselves' However, in a way your diet required even more discipline-jolly good show.
