@sailor1750 Our bodies are miracle machines, truly. What works for one person may not be as successful for someone else.

The basic premise has been more calories burned [going out] than coming in. Beyond that is knowing what is best for you as an individual. In my situation, being on dialysis everyday for kidney problems, my protein intake is higher than someone else, but it needs to be good quality. My body also enjoys fruit and fresh vegetables. Few carbs. As much fluid intake as allowed for my situation, about 60 oz a day. Water, a cup of coffee, no dark colored sodas, very little fruit juice. My exercise is broken down into chunks of time.
