Thank you for your reply, Simon.

I'm a well built 260lbs 23yr old with a 5'10'' frame. W/o any bodyfat
whatsoever, I'd put my weight realistically at around 210-215lbs.
However, I was morbidly obese at age 12, weighing over 300lbs. I
wrestled and played 8 years of football (HS and College) and turned
into the frame I described above. B/c of the morbid obesity, though,
I still have about 30lbs of fat on me - mostly concentrated in my
flabby midsection. My goal on NHE is to lose as much fat as possible,
while building as much muscle as possible. A friend of mine did NHE,
and she (a swimmer) said it worked for her. After reading the book, I
am convinced it will work if I apply it properly. For the record, I
am on the regular NHE plan.

I'm sure I didn't screw up during the metabolic shift, but, I'm very
impatient. Having not seen even a small result in 3 weeks, I've come
to the conclusion that I MUST have gotten nickled and dimed to death
by hidden carbs. Therefore, when I return from business next
Thursday, I will start the metabolic shift all over. I am determined
to finally lose the excess weight/fat I no longer need for football,
and I have every intention of making NHE a permanent lifestyle change.

How long have you been on the plan, and what kind of results have ou
seen?

-Steve
