For somebody looking for a bare bones (no pun intended), very simple approach to weight loss, I think this stuff is hard to beat!

Take a little time to explore around the site. I downloaded the PDF version of the book and the Palm tools and made good use of it. I am 30 years old, about 5'9", and I peaked at 240 lbs about two years ago. I lost a bunch of weight while sick a while ago, and then worked to gradually lose more. This summer I started seriously working on weight loss, starting from 214 lbs. I am now at 193 lbs, and while I stalled out recently, I think I'm back on track to start losing more again. The Hacker's Diet has been key to all of my recent success, and I can't recommend it enough. I actually BELIEVE that I will be 170 lbs (or less!) before next summer. Six months ago, I would have been excited to think that I could get below 195 again (it has been a while!) A pretty good complement to the book is the Physics Diet site, which allows you to track the stuff recommended by the book. http://physicsdiet.com/ I use that as well, although I don't really get much out of it -- it's mainly so I can let my family see how I am doing. (If you're interested, my profile is here: http://physicsdiet.com/Public.aspx?u=Monkeyman My last month of records are spectacularly uninspiring. ;-) ) I want to recommend to you the Hacker’s Diet: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/www/hackdiet.html
