Ok all, I could use some other opinions. I've recently changed my
lifestyle and my relationship with food, permanently, and it's resulted
in substantial weight loss over the last 7 weeks (32 pounds as of
yesterday). I've visited my doctor and he's given my new changes his
blessing, but I'm still wondering about possible health risks associated
to the fast drop in weight. I'm curious what problems you see with the
following plan:

* I have cut red meats, dairy and bread from my diet. These items all
caused an assortment of problems with my health over the years (I'm 37
by the way).

* I've replaced the above items with soy/tofu veggie replacements, but
my meals are also much smaller than they used to be.

* I eat nothing but fruit until noon everyday, eating 3-5 pieces of
fresh fruit daily.

* Luch and dinner are very low in fat, with most including veggie
alternative items, with some chicken or fish mixed in about every other
day. Beans and veggies are the most common dinner items.

* For fluids, I consume nothing but water or juice that I've squeezed.
In the 7 weeks since I started, I've had nothing else.

* Snacks have been limited to unsalted nuts of any type and soy based
yogurts or ice cream. Veggies and fruit are always a part of the snack
plan as well.

* Supplements - Flaxseed oil with each meal, multivitamins daily, and
occasionally coconut oil supplements (I've always had digestive problems
and it seems to help).

These all meants HUGE changes from my previous food lifestyle which was
heavy in fat content and included LOTS of red meats, bread, and suger
based items. By the way, it was brought on by dad's triple bypass and
the fact I want to be around a long time with several chidren of my own.
Bad food is no longer an option in my life.

Anyway, with almost no excersise (situps and pushups on the excersise
ball only), I've consistently lost 4-5 lbs per week since I started. I
expected to lose some weight with the changes, but not this much without
the excersise. It's been a blessing, but I'm still curious if there's
anything to worry about.

At this point I feel great and the doctor has said he can't find any
problems with these changes. Just curious what everyone in this group
thinks.

Thanks for the help and input.
