Any advice would be welcome.

Incorporate lots of fiber, citrus fruit, and cut back on the fats. you will see results by eight weeks. The exercise will help big time for both of your problems. I blew the diet about a year ago and stopped training. All hell broke lose. I am back at it, and all is well. I will be 53 in September. If you want more info IM me on here.

Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2009/07/06, 10:22 AM Go for a high fiber cereal, citrus fruits, and whole grain breads. Also don't forget about beans, many varieties. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. Ivan (GO HABS GO!) Montreal Canada (City of Festivals)
