Results: went from 200# to 189#. I think if I decide to throw a little
exercise in there I would probably drop another 10#. We'll see. I am jsut
happy as hell to be below 190#

Thanks Jay for starting me on this journey!!

Awesome, Jon! I didn't mean to start a new "Pilot's Diet" here, but what
the heck.

BTW: After several months, I'm still with it, and expect to be for life.
The strawberries at this time of year are awesome -- big as plums, and sweet
as candy. I'm munching on them all day long, am never hungry (I throw in
apples, bananas, and an occasional flavored rice cake once in a while, for
variety), my blood pressure is normal (the whole reason for starting this,
as you may recall) -- and, best of all, I'm at my target weight of 175
pounds!

I haven't weighed 175 since COLLEGE, 23 years ago. It's an amazing
feeling, having your pants fall off without a belt! :-)

23 pounds have melted away, almost without effort. I'm never hungry (did I
already say that?), and I still eat one "normal" meal each day, which can
include ANYTHING. Cake, pie, ice cream, beer, margaritas, fried chicken --
who cares? Whatever you want to eat, it's yours, cuz you've eaten nothing
but healthy fruits all day long, eliminating tons of fat and calories from
your diet.

Knowing that the "Reward Meal" is waiting at the end of the day makes eating
fruit easy -- especially when I'm literally gorging myself on the stuff.
And something interesting I've discovered: After a month or two of eating
fruit all day long, your capacity for greasy fried foods goes way down. You
would think I'd be absolutely stuffing myself with cheesecake at the end of
a "fruity" day -- but that's just not the case. I don't know if your
stomach shrinks, or if your tastes change, or what, but I'll sit down ready
to really go at it, and I'll be full LONG before I expected to be.

And, finally, no more Tums, Rolaids, or Prilosec every night, because I
don't have acid reflux anymore. That has been an unexpected and VERY nice
side effect.

I think I've stumbled across the easiest, most successful diet, ever.
