I myself, was nearing 250 pounds – now about 177 – lost weight over the course of about 8 months. I suppose everyone is different, especially as far as blood type and so on. I mention this because it's a somewhat overlooked factor in today's weight-loss thinking circles.

For example, I am of the somewhat quasi-rare (past couple of generations it's been increasing) blood type of O+…. this is the Native American blood type. NAs are of other blood types as well, to be sure, but as far as O+, as any forensic anthropologist worth his salt would tell you, before any Euro-settlers came to America, O+ ONLY existed in the Western hemisphere…. so if you're O+, you are 100% guaranteed part NA.

My point? O+ people tend to be more carnivorous than most, actually needing red meat to maintain the best of health (leading some evolutionists/scientists to believe that we are closer to animals than most – but I don't see it lol).

Using this to my advantage, I stuck to eating meat and minimal grains – no sugar, and lots of water. As for caffienne (sp?), yes, but in strict moderation.

I also only ate that which was prepared at home, not eating at restaurants – an especially good bit of advice to adhere to while trying to lose weight – particularly in America.

Besides that, I latched onto a job consisting of physical activity – making steel-reinforced concrete foundations for houses to then be built upon.

About 8 months later, I'm back to my high school build.

Ooh – okay, I should stop typing before I write a dang novel hehe

Have a nice night! ^_~
