I have lost 55 pounds in 3 month. ( 6.4 muscular - 314-261 ).

First month was starvation diet - just a glass of milk a day. and lots of training ( I do amateur MMA and rugby )
Lost 30 pounds.
Second month was just keep under 1500 calories and add jogging - lost around 15 pounds.

Now i switched to ... pretty much vegetarian Paleo/primal, I have nothing against meat, except it is packed with hormones. No sugar, no processed foods. Everything organic, Fish is wild caught.

And, what can I say, I feel so much healthier, mood improved, and I eat a lot now, like a lot, and it is still below my calorie reqs.I stopped craving sweets.. now i crave bananas lol.

25 pounds to go, and sure as hell i will stick to this diet forever.

Just bumping up the primal thread.

Going on a six-week strict primal kick starting tomorrow to round out the end of a five-month leaning journey. Then it will be all about maintenance. I'm already down about 8 lbs from New Years Day but I want to push this as far as I healthily can.

How is everyone else doing?

I am going to transition from medifast to paleo--I have heard if one doesn't transition "properly" from Medifast, the weight will come right back on! I want to get back to real food, while maintaining this weight!
I am training for another half marathon, and have been very concerned about not having enough carbs to maintain me through the distance.
Any suggestions as how to do this transition?

I heard the coconut oil, etc is the way to go for coffee---although I haven't tried it yet?

Hi, I'm into week 4 primal. I've lost 24lbs and my blood sugar is very nearly normal. I feel really well and not suffering from hunger. Its the best thing i've done giving up grains and cutting out processed foods.Plus its saved me a chunk of money.
