For those interested in how I am losing the weight (47 pounds)

The first part of my diet was 10 days of water fasting, and then to make sure that I did not pile on the weight, I have slowly added food back to my diet. At certain points of my diet I have added back foods. This allows the body to believe that there there is no need slow down the metabolism because more and more food is coming its way. (This is possibly the reason why some people have never had to bother dieting and have stayed skinny). So the first week after the fast I only had a low fat cup of soup for lunch. I have been extremely strict on my diet, I found out that it takes about a week for your body to notice the food and speed up the metabolism to suit. The second week - low fat cup of soup for lunch Salad for dinner (with low fat dressing) Lettuce, tomato, asparagus Grated carrot, similar veges and so on
and now I eat quite a bit and am still loosing weight I have a cup minestrone soup with 1/3 to 1/2 can of tuna for either lunch or dinner (but at least 1 soup a day) I have a poached egg for breakfast (with tomato sauce for taste), 1 tablespoon of flax seed. Vegetable/avocado sushi (8 normal pieces) for either lunch or dinner, or a large plate full of salad, or a large plate full of vegetables either boiled, steamed or baked. and 50 grams of smoked salmon for dinner. Milk biscuits and a hunts fat free chocolate pudding, with 2 teaspoons of marmite to keep my iron levels up.
And yes I do exercise but not a lot, about 30 - 45mins a day during the week (from car to work and back and a little walk at lunch time), I am 33 and no I don't have children.
I hope this helps :-)
