I am 5'10" and 240 lbs, my BMI is between 34 and 35 so I am obese. I am half way to the morbid obesity rating.

The exact numbers are…

Sadly I would drink Elton Johns bath water. Broken foot means missed gym time =) Would you rather be able to immediately have your dream body, but never be able to exercise or eat clean ever again (so slowly watch it dwindle away), or continue on from where you are now but progress would take ten times as long to achieve?

There are some basic guidelines you can follow and design your own diet program. I would recommend the following: Protein - 1.5 grams per pound of body weight daily Carbs - Anywhere from 2-4 grams per pound of body weight daily (less carbs if you have a slower metabolism more if faster metabolism) Fats - 0.5 grams per…
