I posted this in another thread without realizing I was not logged in sorry!

Hey everyone, thanks in advance for the help. I am not to over weight according to my doctor. I am 6' and 205 lb and 37 years old. I was always skinny and could not gain weight for nothing until four or five years ago - fifty pounds in about a year. I have maintained that weight for the last four years without trying.

My problem is I have gained fifty pounds and it looks like forty of it was in my face!!! I have got the fattest face for my body. Any ideas on how to loose it? I have quit drinking soft drinks with cafeine and I do not drink coffee. I am not crazy about diets but I guess I would be willing to listen.

Again thanks for the help!

Have you ever tried just Green Tea without any sugar substitute? Of course de-caf is recommended. I lost 39lbs in 3.5 weeks, and ate what I wanted to, I will tell you this though be prepared to make mucho potty visits. If you add sugar,milk anything other then just the Green Tea it breaks down the antioxidants. Doesnt matter if you have it hot or cold to your preference, I usually brewed a gallon for the day, then just drank it throughout the day, Salada has the best de-caf I have found. Good Luck!(Of course decaf is recommended) obviously lol as Tea has more caffeine than coffee.

B.R.-

Do you eat a lot of sodium/salt and a lot of enriched carbs? My diet used to be filled with breads, salt and refined sugars. I always felt puffy, especially in my neck and face.

I found a lot of useful hints at nojokediet.com and talked with my doctor. I know this won't work for everyone but I really think these hints did me wonders.

Look forward to hearing your progress.
