from an older thread:(also drink about 2 glasses of milk DAILY, and put honey in the tea.)
Diet: Stopped eating crap foods. Started eating fresh. Mostly did a high protein/low carb diet, but unlike most low-carb dieters, I didn't pig out on burger patties and bacon. Instead, I went for low-fat protein, like chicken, fish, and tofu. For fiber, I eat flax seed (mixed with water in a paste), sauerkraut, spinach, romaine lettuce.
After I had lost about 100 lbs, I started adding more carbs to the diet. I eat a cup of blueberries (antioxidants, yay) a day. I'm slowly adding more fresh fruit to my diet.
For drinks, it's either water or tea. No sweeteners in the tea, just plain tea. Green/white teas have a lot of antioxidants in them, and are good for boosting metabolism.
Exercise: I do between 20-30 miles a day on a recumbent exercise bike. This REALLY helps build up the leg muscles, and your ass literally shrinks. I also do around 45 minutes of weight training. I wore 10lb ankle weights at work for several months, but stopped to help save my knees.
I take multivitamin pills every day, as well as potassium (helps stave off muscle cramps) and calcium (to help keep the bones healthy).
I don't know if it would work for anyone else, but it's working quite well for me. Went from ~370 lbs to ~240 lbs in less than a year WITHOUT gastric bypass (I'm poor, can't afford). Still have a ways to go, but man, do I ever feel 1000% better.
