One last bit of advice: WATER! Drink it! and Then Drink some more. Especially when you are trying to loose weight, being totally hydrated is so very important. I am taking the post-breast cancer drug Tamoxifen and last year when I visited my Oncologist, he surprised me by saying "So it IS possible to loose weight while on Tamoxifen." Well, I had been dieting of course, (Adkins) but I noticed that the weight only came off when I superhydrated myself. Try for a gallon a day. That is if you are not heavily exercising. More if you are. GOOD LUCK. Liz
