Hey Preacherrr,

Again the Dr. is right. Where I work we have access to a Registered Nutritionist. She comes in once a week and gives us lessons about diet and exercise and meal planning. Of all the nutritionists I've met she probably has the most down to earth approach to nutrition. She advocates eating something for breakfast, it doesn't have to be a full breakfast but have something. Eating 5 smaller meals a day is better than eating 3 (or 2 or 1) large meals. Get a good multivitamin. If your trying to lose weight start slow. Eliminate 250 calories per day. Try to stay away from empty calories (soft drinks, foods high in fat, most processed foods). And don't think about "good" foods or "bad" foods. You can still budget a doughnut or a piece of cake into your diet. You just can't afford a dozen doughnuts or an entire cake. I was a very avid soda drinker. I went to diet soda and in the space of 4 months I lost 24 pounds. I also cut back on a lot of the junk that I dearly loved. My goal is to get to 205 before my birthday and I am at 213 right now. Take small steps and reachable goals. Changing your nutritional patterns takes time but you can get there.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
