Just to clarify, it is not my suggestion that the meal plan I proposed earlier in this thread be a long term plan. It is intended to be a 2 to 4 week plan, and the once you get going, the plan gets modified with some carbs and larger protien portions, but the principles remain the same. Eat something every couple of hours, watch your calories, don't eat after 6pm, light to moderate exercise at least 30 min. a day. I like the diet because you get quick results, but everyone knows that to make it last, it has to be a lifestyle change. I am not a lifter, if I lift weights, I blow up like a baloon! I am looking to lose body mass. I am 36 years old, 6' 0" and 277 lbs., I need to get down to 200 to be healthy, I have a 3 year old that would probably like to have me around for a while. Fat Flush will get me down to my ideal weight, then it is my job to keep myself there. Thanks for your input, good luck to everyone, i'll be checking in periodically withe results.

I'm curious as to what you mean by lifting weights making you "blow up like a baloon". You say you're looking to "lose body mass". If you work in some resistance training (i.e. lifting) to your exercise routine, you'll maintain/gain muscle mass and burn more fat. That means you will decrease your body fat and increase lean (muscle mass). It isn't all about losing weight.....it's about striking a healthy balance. Plus, the muscle mass will help you keep the fat off down the road.

rabidgerbil said:Good job man.
Mine was not the best weekend either. I have a brother in law that is getting married this coming Saturday, and we had an all day event for him this last Saturday... bunch of friends got together for breakfast at our favorite diner, then it was off to a gym at the school where one brother teaches, and we played basketball, floor hockey and dodgeball for about 4 hours, then we all got back together in the evening at church and had a big dinner for him. These all day events are a tradition with the guys in our church, and I have another close friend getting married in 8 weeks, so we have the bachelor party this last weekend, a wedding next weekend, another party in seven weeks, and another wedding in eight weeks.
Not exactly a diet friendly couple of months.
I can happily say though, that I too am down 2 lbs... probably just water weight, but hey, it is something to be happy about, and that is where it all starts.

We've been eating better too. We're doing the "eat every 3-4hrs" thing. Smoothies in the morning, snack at 10 or so, half sandwich and snack at 1, Dinner at 5-6, Gym at 7.
I did a whole freakin hr on the elliptical while listening to the Jamil Podcast about IPA's....really helped the time fly.
We're going back to the gym starting today, I think we'll take the weekends off though bc it's just easier to do durring the week.
Oh and an assload of water everyday!
