I bought the BodyRX book for $6 at Londong Drugs and found it helpful to get me started. I haven't followed it religiously, but implementing some of the basic recommendations helped me to lose 14 pounds in 5 weeks.
What I followed:
-I cut sugar intake significantly. No sodas, juice, less cofee, and I started reading the labels. They put corn syrup in everything these days and I try to look for products with minimum or no sugar added.
-I eat a lot more protein. Fish and chicken mostly plus a protein supplement. That seems to keep me from overeating.
- I eat more frequently.
-I eat more fibre.
What I haven't followed too much or at all:
-Weight training: Body RX suggests that weights are enough exercise. I did both cardio and weights, but only about five times in those five weeks.
-Supplements other than fibre and protein: I didn't feel comfortable taking some of supplements suggested.
