"20 lbs, or 9 kilos"
Congratulations, there is a lot for only 4 weeks and without pain, I've lost 6 kilos in 7 or 8 weeks for my trygliceride problem that I've mentioned, and there is too much suffering.
Way to go, JB!

On a related note, people who are overweight sometimes chide me for being too skinny (though physicians always tell me that my weight is just fine for my height and frame). Does that ever happen to anyone else here?

Sure does Mr. Sellers...I get that often. People find it hard to believe that I'm 6'2 weighin in at 195 pounds...they think I look very slim for my height.
I've heard 'you need a sandwich and a donut' more times than I care to, and mostly from people who....well...are not as slim as me.

Jamie Lee Curtis just did and interview, where she told of her new diet book.
The Cover Says it all, :Move More, Eat Less.
The inside was blank pages.

That's the diet I have a hard time getting away from.

This is "my" Comic Book Writer's Diet:
Don't eat.
Or, rather, be careful about what you eat.
Bread, pastries, milk products, pasta in large amounts, sweets, soft drinks
(whether regular or diet), beef, non-whole grain cereals, desserts,
alcohol, tea, processed foods, gravies, basically anything heavy in fat or
calories: bad.
Red salmon, albacore tuna, trout, buffalo, lean turkey, whole grain
(particularly oat) cereals, beans, vegetables, soy milk, fruit, rice in small
amounts, pasta in small amounts: good.
Lots and lots of water. (At least you'll know you're not losing just water
weight.)
Stay away from so-called protein bars, which usually have up to 8 grams
of fat per bar and sometimes 40 grams of sugar.
Exercise: start light, do it right – though as you convert to muscle, your
weight loss will slow because muscle weighs more than fat. Someone told
me awhile back you take years to put pounds on, you shouldn't expect to
take them off in a hurry.
Losing weight's really not that difficult; all you have to do is want it more
than you want to eat.

Since I don't eat meat or fast food, or drink pop or (much) alcohol, a large
segment is taken care of pretty easily.
It's the "don't eat so much that you're full" that is the hard part. But I'm
working on it.

J.B is this weight loss purely from the diet or have you been putting in some exercise as well?
