you'll get gerd with a large midsection... that's pretty painful and dangerous stuff.
www.mypyramid.gov for the proper diet... it's not a fad and you can live off of it for the rest of your life.
see a doctor also.. get a blood panel and check to see if your triglycerides are ok and your cholesterol.
also if you have any mineral defecencies that may cause weight issues with you (just in case)
and see how that blood pressure is doing.
exercise as you know is essential... eating small meals.. not large ones... not eating after 7pm (for many reasons) intake more water...
walk!
walk!
walk!
and get into a routine that's healthy... proper eating.. who knows get into yoga so not only will you trim down but you'll feel tons better with improving your circulation and helping with any aches and pains you have now or will aquire with the life style change...
so on.
do talk to the doc also.. have them give you a looksee and if you have anything that needs to be attended to or you need special things in your diet... will be a big plus!
remember diet is not a temporary thing...

If your waist measurement is over 32 inches, then you are at an increased risk of heart disease. The answer is pure and simple, diet and exercise. Reduce bad carbs, such as refined foods and snacks and increase good carbs, such as wholemeal foods and fresh fruit & vegetables. Increase healthy proteins such as lean meat, poultry, eggs and oily fish. Try to exercise at least 3 times per week and do both cardio and weight training. Cardio will burn calories and fat and weight training will build muscle and increase metabolism. HTH : )

big stomach es do not cause heart attacks, depending on what you put in them! And as far as getting it fit. Try not eating so much or do some heavy lifting (not sit ups).

Protein 101
By David Heber, M.D., Ph.D.
It seems everywhere we look, someone is promoting a new diet that praises the power of protein. But whether you want to lose, gain, or maintain your current weight, the importance of protein goes far beyond physical appearance and muscle building.
A necessity for every body
Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. It is an organic compound, composed of 22 amino acids, otherwise known as the building blocks of life. Protein is stored in muscles and organs and the body utilizes it to build and repair tissues, as well as for the production of enzymes and hormones. Proteins also make it possible for blood to carry oxygen throughout the body. Along with fat and carbohydrates, protein is a "macronutrient," meaning the body needs relatively large amounts of it. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that our daily protein requirements should be 10% to 35% of our total caloric intake, with men needing slightly more than women. A lack of protein can cause loss of muscle mass, decreased immunity, as well as weakening of the heart and respiratory system.
How protein affects your weight
The widespread popularity of high-protein diets is due in large part to their ability to help manage hunger. When protein is absorbed, it sends a signal to the brain to decrease your hunger. Another benefit of protein is that it raises your resting metabolism by maintaining muscle mass. As we age, muscle mass decreases without exercise, so staying fit is a key to burning fat by keeping your metabolism high. Protein also leads to a much less rapid rise and fall of blood sugar and insulin, so you avoid the "sugar highs and lows" after eating sweets without adequate protein. Certain foods, however, provide a healthier resource for protein than others.
Consider the source
You can obtain healthy sources of protein without high levels of saturated fat. For example, soybeans, nuts and whole grains provide protein without much saturated fat and offer plenty of healthful fiber and micronutrients as well. If you’re looking for yet another great way to obtain healthy protein, vegetable sources of protein found in Herbalife’s Formula 1, are high-quality and have lower calorie levels with virtually no added fat. Herbalife® products personalize your daily protein intake to match your body’s needs. With a variety of shakes and snacks, the ShapeWorks® program helps you build or maintain lean muscle while providing healthy weight management support.
Now that you’ve increased your knowledge of protein, you can effectively enhance your diet and allow good health to take shape.
