Please try eating only liver, eggs, and ribeye steaks and drinking only water. You can absolutely stuff yourself on this diet and you will nevertheless get in shape. It breaks my heart that people have such an upside down idea about what healthy food is -- people think they should avoid red meat and eat fruits and vegetables and "heart healthy grains" when in fact the only thing they should eat is red meat. It is a tragedy almost beyond description -- there are millions of people in your situation who have been thwarted in their weightless journeys at every turn because we've been getting the wrong information about what food is healthy for us to eat. In addition to losing weight, you will also completely eliminate heartburn. Just try it.
