So, small spoons, forks, plates and cups. Don't drink at meals, but how soon after would it be okay? Exercise, cut fat, eat more protein, no carbonated or caffeinated drinks, and drink 64 oz of water a day. WOW! I get started, after this cup of coffee, LOL. That is going to be another hard one. I like my coffee in the morning, but nothing taste as good as thin is going to feel.
