Due to some kidney issues, I went on a low protein diet (with pharmacuetical grade amino acids to supplement) and because a total vegetarian...no eggs, no dairy, no meats, no nuts...
I dropped about 10 lbs and can fit in my college Landlubber jeans!

I wasn't really overweight, but the extra 10 pounds came off quickly....helping my joints, too!
