I have lost 100 pounds, dropped from size 20 to 3 and shaved off 14 BMI points.How? Several ways: the most important being a total eating makeover. I didn't stop eating or cut out major food groups. That's crash dieting and not healthy. I didn't have surgery or take drugs. Those are temporary band-aids, and don't produce the real changes needed for weight loss.
