Well, first of all, if your body is hard, then you don't have any fat
to lose.  "Hard" is muscle and "soft" is fat.  If you want to lose muscle,
stop exercising so much.

Second, eating once a day is likely to put your body in to "starvation mode"
which will make it save energy (calories) instead of expend it.  Eating
moderate regular meals is better for your weight and health.

If you can do it, modifying your food on a permanant basis to be lower
fat is the best way to lose weight.  Some people can't do that, (like me)
so they go on food plans - like Weight Watchers or whatever.  (I think
WW is a very good program.)

844.6Running - A Sure CureWREATH::SCOPATue Mar 15 1994 22:3310
    Dana,
    
    Have you ever thought about running, but not on a treadmill? Some
    people experience weightloss running outside, up and down hills,
    something that a treadmill tries to simulate.
    
    For some people like myself this is the best way to drop weight
    especially in the thighs. Also, running curbs your appetite.
