I lost 27 lbs that way: eating whole foods (not processed/packaged foods), staying off pasta and bread, eating lots of veggies and adding some good fats (mainly flaxseed oil and olive oil). I use fruit mainly for my shakes. The shakes won't make you gain weight if you use them to replace a meal. I have a whey protein smoothie with fruit for breakgfast a few days a week and for my afternoon snack most days. Good luck! I'm working on losing a little more but so far this method has worked for me:) -------------- cheers, Elisa
