I'm 54 years old and lost almost 15 lbs, 10 years ago. I'm a strict vegetarian and walk about 7 mi. a day. I did it with the help of Dr. John McDougall. Get ALL his books at the library. You'll lose the weight easily and without starving yourself. You'll feel better and get enormous health benefits as well. Your food bills will be cheaper and it feels great to look at girls 20 years younger that you are waddling around with all that unhealthy weight and here you are slim and healthy. It's easy, do it now!
