I also didn't have anything else but probiotics yogurt and a banana. He said lose the banana, has too much sugar. I changed to strawberries and milk along with the yogurt and orange. I've dropped 12 pounds in about 3 months, from 162 to 150, I'm 5'9" and go MVP gym everyday.

I'm also cutting out the diet softdrinks, again thinking they were better. He said the sweetners and caramel coloring is not good for you. Again, I'm drinking more water or unsweeted tea and use Truvia to sweeten the drink, it's a natural sweetner.

Thanks for the info John. From what I’ve read, losing the body weight is one of the most important changes to make. And close behind is exercise and diet.
