315.0. "DIETING AGAIN" by SUBURB::COWLEYA (ANGE) Mon Jul 04 1988 02:32

    Is it feasible to loose 14 pounds in one month and not put it straight
    back on again?                                
                                                  
    Also, if I wanted to have ONE main meal a day, say lunchtime, would
    a yoghurt and fruit be sufficient for my other meal at teatime?    
          
    Thanks in advance for any information.

    	Feasible, yes. Figure on losing 1 to 2 lbs-fat/wk on a sensible
    reducing plan.  Add maybe 4 lbs fluid and you could safely lose ~12
    lbs of weight in one month.  Of course, this doesn't mean you will,
    only that you could.

    	It's your daily, not per-meal, intake that's important. So,
    yes, yogurt and fruit might be sufficient.
    
    	But, the one-main-meal idea is not a good one.  Spread your
    nutrition out over the whole day.  It's easier on your stomach and 
    doesn't set you up for cravings right before your main meal.
