I just read your post about what you are eating and that you haven't seen any results on the BFL plan. Let me tell you... it is because you are doing it all wrong.
Sorry about saying it that way, but it is the only way of saying it.
First of all, have you read the book? If you have, you will know that you need to eat quality protein, quality carbs and green vegies. You also know that your protein to carb ratio is 1:1. Eat as many green vegies as you want.
Drinking a slim fast drink in the morning... well you have just blown your whole diet for the day. Nothing like taking in a TON of SUGAR!!! Might as well have drank a jug of sugar water. YUCK.
Second, re-evalute your eating. My suggestion...
Meal#1 - Quality protein shake like EAS
Meal #2 - cottage cheese and pineapple
Meal #3 - portion of chicken on 1 slice of bread, mustard, lettuce and 1-2 portions of broccoli or other green veggie.
Meal #4 - Either Quality protein shake, protein bar, cottage cheese with fruit, eggs, or something with a good protein to carb ratio.
Meal #5 - Fish with rice and green veggies.
Meal #6 - This meal... do less carbs than protein. This is where I usually have hard boiled eggs or a can of tunafish.
Third - your exercise.
3 days a week weight training (46 minutes)
3 days a week cardio (20 minutes with 5 minutes each of warm up and cool down!)
Fourth - Have you measured yourself? Forget the scale. Your measurements will work better.
Ok, now after I have said all of that.. are you thinking... "And who in the hell are you to tell me that I am doing it all wrong?" Well, let me tell you a little about me. I am 29 years old and female. In 1999, I weighed around 430-450 pounds. Not sure exactly how much because the scale at the docs went to 400. I started the BFL method and after going from a size 58W to a 50W, I was finally at 398. This was my first GOAL. Now, almost 2 years later, I am at 230. I have lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 pounds on the BFL method. So I am here to tell you it works.
Here are the Authorized Foods that BFL wants you to eat. Get creative. When I want to eat, I get on the treadmill. Drink a ton of water. I drink somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 1/2 gallons a day.
