Question:
My daughter is getting married in September this year and I desperately need to lose weight quickly. I am really overweight but would be happy if I could lose about 10 kg - about 22 lbs. Hope someone out there will be able to give me some helpful advice.
Answer:
Here is what the Eades suggest if you want to try to jumpstart your weight loss: Keep protein at the minimum (as calculated in PP) and proportioned throughout the day in 3 meals and 1 snack. Stick to the lower fat, leaner cuts of meat to keep calorie intake to a minimum while still getting adequate protein to keep your metabolic rate up. Try protein shakes a time or two a day instead of a full meal. If you must cluster carbs, do so a little in the am, but don't go overboard (say no more than 12 grams). Keep carbs the rest of the day at 7 grams per meal or snack. Also don't go too heavy on fruits while you're in training to zip this particular zipper. Nuts, nut butters, and cheese are the biggest culprits in stalling weight loss in people (especially women) who otherwise follow the diet to the letter with respect to protein intake and carbs, because these foods are so calorie dense. You can stand a lot of them in maintenance, but to lose (especially the few pounds you're talking about) avoid them or limit them to 1 ounce a day.
