I don't know about the rest of you, but I am concerned about the possibility of regaining the weight that I have lost.  Segraves suggests the following 6 Steps to Success:

1.  Always choose a protein-rich food first and include a minimum of 21-28 grams of protein per meal.

2.  Budget your total carbohydrate intake to 20-30 grams per meal.

3.  Limit your fat intake to 10-15 grams per meal.

4.   Do not graze on foods thorughout the day.  Eat only 3 regular meals.

5.   Do not drink your calories Or drink with meals.  Drink only calorie-free, non-carbonted fluids in between meals; and be sure to get 64 oz. daily.

6.  Exercise regularly to help reach and maintain your goal wright.  Be sure to include both aerobic and resistance training.

In what I have heard people talk about over the last 3 or so years I have been on the board, this seems to summarize the information that most of us got, but I think it never hurts to do a quick review or check up to see if we are still following the rules.  Apparently, these rules do not have an expiration date.  Not only will these rules allow one to maintain their loss, but if you need to still lose weight, apparently you may slowly continue to lose over time, which is my current concern.  I want to lose a little more.

You will be so glad that you did this.  It is a wonderful way to live and the things you think you will miss, you don't.    Hope things go well for you.
