There are 3500 calories in one pound of fat and I had about 35 pounds to lose so I already had more calories then I needed. I concentrate more on trying to eat healthy and find that the healthier I eat the less hungry I feel.

I have a number of health issues that effect me when I let my weight go above 200 lbs and this time I really let it go and really felt the results. 

 The ND site really makes all of this pretty easy. I think what a lot of people don't under stand is that if you are 35 lbs plus over weight like I was your body will feed on either the fat stores or muscle and maybe both so the trick may be finding the right combinations that will burn mostly fat calories and less muscle. I think that as long as I do not run around wanting to eat every thing I see I may be on the right track. I keep healthy snacks available mostly red peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers.  I get really involved when I start feeling poorly from my eating habits, being healthy motivates me.
