Hi, I've been Prednisolone going back to 2009 for lung fibrosis. Also Im using myfenax 1000mg a day. Seriously I have put on weight and want to get rid of at least one stone fast. It's doing my head in. I tried drinking fresh lemon juice b4 food and also drink green tea regularly.

I agree with you sibkev. I was told one time by a doctor that one of the best ways to lose weight was to never eat off of anything larger than a saucer. I started doing that over 10 years ago and lost the weight I needed to lose. And to this day will only eat off a saucer. It's an interesting mind thing. When you eat off a regular plate, you just naturally want to put enough food on the plate to fill it up...which leads to too much food.

Yes, I use a much smaller plate than my husband's, and make the meals look the same on the plate. This means I eat a third less than he does.

Hello, In January this year I stopped eating bread, cheese and margarine/butter. It has helped me heaps.Instead, I've been eating corn cobs and boiled eggs, lots and lots of baby spinach, shredded carrot and cucumber. Everybody has a different metabolism, what works for Peter might not work for Paul. Be kind and patient with yourself. Little changes are best than none. 😉 Good Luck
