Eating brown rice/bread really only has more nutrients. Its the same amount of carbs.
Its very important to keep your metabalism going. Eat all day long! Everyday you should eat 3 fruits (citrus fruits are the best....less starchy) 3 Veggies (Green veggies are the best..potatoes and corn should not be on of these veggies as they are starches) 2 starches (1 slice of bread = 1 starch...starches are important because they fill you up) 2 proteins (A 6oz boneless/skinless is one protein..4oz for red meat) 2 dairy (8oz milk = 1 dairy) And try to have no more than 1 'fat' (1tbsp mayo = 1 fat) a day..and easy on the condiments as they are high in salt. It seems like a lot of food..but its a balanced diet. You just need to know how to control your portions..thats so important. And you should also drink at least a 2L of water a day as it helps rid the salt from your body. My sister takes CLA and says it works wonders. Also gensoy protien bars are really good because they are all natural and give you energy. Following that diet and with exercise helped two of my friends and one of their moms lose over 30lbs each. Good luck =D

there is nothing wrong with any of the foods you listed as a part of your daily diet ( tomatoes, avacados and nuts are all natural foods! Tomatoes are a full of cancer fighting licopene and should be consumed daily) - and there is nothing wrong with your body. I have seen you for the last 8 years look nothing but great. There are a million diets and plans out there, but a blanced diet nd excercise is the key to a happy lifestyle and happy body for life. It might not drop the 10 pounds quickly , but it will do it permenently!

We've been monitoring my doses with the naturopath for awhile. He upped my dosage even more but my heart rate started fluctuating, so I've dropped it a bit. My energy level feels pretty good, and again, I don't GAIN weight, I just find it hard to lose it..
anyone who can post names of those metabolism boosting pills (no ephedra ingredients please!), would be much appreciated I think I'm going to try that AND the CLA I cheered up quite a bit the last couple of days though, I think I may have gone through some kind of womanly bloating because I feel better now, and I've been at the gym a few days in a row. off to gym again! thanks guys for all your encouraging words and help :)

 SEA TURTLES MAY ESTABLISH AN ELEVATED BODY TEMPERATURE AS A RESULT OF A RAISED METABOLIC RATE. IN SEA TURTLES, AND SPECIFICALLY LEATHERBACKS, THE METABOLIC RATE IS HIGHER THAN THAT OF MOST REPTILES. A LEATHERBACK'S METABOLIC RATE IS AS HIGH AS ONE HALF THE RATE OF A SIMILAR SIZED MAMMAL, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE MOST REPTILE'S METABOLIC RATES ARE ONLY TINY FRACTIONS OF THOSE OF SIMILAR SIZED MAMMALS (PALADINO, ET AL, 1990). IN ADDITION, A LEATHERBACK’S METABOLIC RATE IS ROUGHLY 86% THAT OF AN ELEPHANT. GIGANTOTHERMY ALLOWS THE TWO SPECIES TO SHARE THERMOREGULATORY TRAITS AND A SIMILAR METABOLIC RATE (SPOTILA, ET AL, 1991). WHEN A LEATHERBACK IS EXPOSED TO COLD TEMPERATURES, ITS BREATHING AND SWIMMING RATES INCREASE (FRAIR, ET AL, 1972). WHEREAS THE METABOLIC RATE OF MOST ECTOTHERMIC REPTILES DECREASES WITH DECREASING TEMPERATURES, METABOLIC RATE IN THE LEATHERBACK IS HIGHER WITH DECREASING TEMPERATURES. THIS INCREASE INDICATES SOME DEGREE OF ENDOTHERMY. LEATHERBACKS HAVE BROWN ADIPOSE TISSUE, A INSULATORY FATTY TISSUE TYPICALLY FOUND IN MAMMALS AND SURROUNDING REGIONALLY ENDOTHERMIC ORGANS IN FISH (GOFF AND STENSTON, 1988). THE PRESENCE OF THIS TISSUE THROUGHOUT THEIR BODIES FURTHER SUGGESTS THAT LEATHERBACKS HAVE THE ABILILTY TO REGULATE TEMPERATURE ENDOTHERMICALLY. GREEN TURTLES ALSO HAVE AN ELEVATED ACTIVE METABOLISM, WHICH CAN BE AS HIGH AS TEN TIMES THEIR RESTING METABOLIC RATES AND IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THOSE OF OTHER REPTILES (PENICK, ET AL, 1996). RIDLEYS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE A METABOLIC RATE EQUAL TO THAT OF GREEN TURTLES, DESPITE A LARGE SIZE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SPECIES. LEATHERBACK METABOLIC RATES ARE SLIGHTLY LOWER DUE TO THEIR LARGER SIZE (MROSOVSKY AND PRITCHARD, 1971). ELEVATED AEROBIC CAPACITY ALSO INDICATES ENDOTHERMY IN SEA TURTLES. SEA TURTLES ARE MORE ACTIVE THAN MOST OTHER REPTILES, WHICH TEND TO DISPLAY BRIEF BURSTS OF ACTIVITY FOLLOWED BY A PERIOD OF RECOVERY (FRAIR, ET AL, 1972; PENICK, ET AL, 1996; POUGH, 1978). IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN HIGH LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, ANIMALS MUST DEPEND ON AEROBIC METABOLISM. INDEED, GREEN TURTLE METABOLISM IS HIGHLY AEROBIC (PENICK, ET AL, 1996). IN FACT, ALL SEA TURTLES HAVE ENOUGH OF MYOGLOBIN IN THEIR BLOODSTREAM TO GIVE THEIR MUSCLES A REDDISH COLOR AND A HIGH CONTENT OF OXYGEN-RICH BLOOD. RED MUSCLE, COMMON IN BIRDS AND MAMMALS (POUGH, 1978), IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF ENDOTHERMY, AS IT INDICATES AEROBIC METABOLISM. IN CLASSIC ECTOTHERMS, METABOLIC RATE CHANGES WITH CHANGES IN BODY TEMPERATURE. IN GREEN TURTLES HOWEVER, THE METABOLIC RATE OF THE HEART IS CONSTANT FROM 12.5 TO 25.5 ºC. THIS TEMPERATURE INDEPENDENCE INDICATES THAT THE GREEN TURTLE IS NOT PURELY ECTOTHERMIC. GREEN TURTLES ALSO HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE CONTROL OVER THEIR HEART RATE THAN MOST ECTOTHERMIC REPTILES. THEY INCREASE OR DECREASE HEART RATE PERHAPS TO CONTROL HEAT PRODUCTION AND CERTAINLY TO CONTROL ITS DISTRIBUTION RATE (SMITH, ET AL, 1986). FURTHERMORE, THE CLASSIC ECTOTHERMIC TRAITS OF LOW ENERGY REQUIREMENTS AND LOW, ANAEROBIC METABOLIC RATES (POUGH, 1978) ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE ENDOTHERMIC TRAITS DISPLAYED BY SEA TURTLES.

I've lost almost 10 lbs just by eating three solid meals per day and having snacks in between. Apparently I sped up my metabolism! Who knew that I could eat so much and still lose? It's sweet.
I recommend tea with lemon in the morning. It helps clean out your system for the start of the day and as long as you are eating a healthy breakfast with it (think 12 grain bagel w/fat free cream cheese) the caffiene will be a good thing!

PS - I tried hydroxycut AM/PM and it made me feel jittery and weird
apparently there is another kind that is similar but has some different ingredients so you won't feel all messed up...I will find out what it's called and let you know
