Losing Weight With The Two Meal Plan
by Anonymous
(NY, USA)
Here is my problem. I am 6" 2 and just about at the 280 pound mark. I want to be free from food, amongst other things, and would like to just eat 2 meals a day, breakfast and dinner. Dinner is the one meal I look forward to, but however, don't want to binge. I would like to enjoy the feeling of being hungry and being healthier and stronger. I would like to lose a remarkable 100 pounds or a little more.
I hate my body. I don't want to date. I was on a small date the other day and my weight was bothering me a lot and it showed. My insecurities showed. Write back when you can. Once I lose the weight I will feel better and continue to eat breakfast and dinner. No lunch or any snacks.

The two meal plan is a great start for any weight loss program. It naturally helps to bring your body down to its ideal weight over time. It's great because it's a permanent lifestyle change where you don't need to go on a starvation diet or deprive your body of the food or nutrients that it needs. It helps your body to run more effectively and efficiently.
If you are completely new to the two meal plan, it may take some time to adjust to it, but you can do it! To get the most of of the two meal plan, don't forget to check out my suggestions for getting started on it:
http://www.natural-health-restored.com/2-meal-plan.htmlIt's great that you look forward to dinner time. Meals are meant to be enjoyed. So do everything you can to make your mealtimes as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. That way, you'll get more satisfaction out of your food and you'll be less likely to overeat or binge.
Here are some other lifestyle changes that can help with weight loss:
Lots of water - drinking water helps to cleanse and flush out your system. And believe it or not, it can also help you to lose weight and then maintain a healthy weight. Read more about the benefits of water and how much you should drink according to your body weight in this article:

When you exercise, it causes your body to release endorphins which make you feel happier. Make it a part of your daily routine and have fun with it! Get some exercise ideas on this page:

AIM FiberBlend helps to cleanse your colon from old waste matter that can prevent you from absorbing the nutrients from your food.

I'm sorry to hear that you hate your body and don't want to date because of it. I know that it's so easy to feel insecure when you don't like something about yourself. And when you feel down about yourself, other people may start to pick up on that negativity.
Instead of putting pressure on yourself to find "the one," why not focus on getting out there and making new friends? Maybe try to find people who like to go for walks or participate in the same physical activities you're interested in.
From the people you meet, try to choose friends that are upbeat, positive, and encouraging. And be open to allowing people to get to know who you are. Your real friends (and the right woman when she comes along) will love you for your character, personality, and who you are inside. Those are the things that really matter.
I think it's great that you've decided to take action and do something about the things you can change. With an attitude like that, you will reach your goals.
Hope that helps! Keep me posted and let me know how it goes.
