<snip>and isnt being on the high end of "normal" health related enough?
That has been my point throughout my posts... more so than the superficial part.
The way you are going about it isn't healthy & in the long run you are only going to create more problems. Stop looking for a fast track... no gimmick diets, no gimmick supplements... no outrageous commercial claims that promise rapid results... all of this crap causes you to boomerang right back & often to a higher weight than you are now.
All it takes is planing out what you eat & when you eat it. Simple changes can give you the results you want.
You mentioned that late night snack... yup, stop that right now. You want to know how you do that effectively.... eat more during the day.
You have to make yourself eat more at earlier times. Load up on foods in the morning & at lunch time when you are most active & then take in smaller amounts as you slow down during the day & then stop completely at least 2 to 4 hours prior to bed time.
You say you are physically active through the day... big deal, we are supposed to be active through the day. What you need to do is get your heart rate up & keep it up for a period of no less than 30 minutes at a time. Be it walking, running, jogging, stair climbing, rowing a boat.... whatever it is... you have to get your heart rate up & maintain it consistently for 30 minutes in order to produce desired results.
You seem motivated & you say you spent all this time reading from a forum.... why not do the right thing & contact a nutritionist or someone who is professionally trained rather than frustrate yourself with all of these ridiculous quick fix gimmicks & hearsay diets. Our bodies are as unique as our personalities & what works for one person may not & most likely won't work for another. These professionals will determine your metabolism rate.
You say you'll come back & tell us about your water diet... I challenge you to contact a professional & come back to tell us what they tell you. I'll bet you a lot of what I just said will sound familiar. I did this a number of years ago & learned so much. I'm only trying to pass along a little info so that it will save you from the frustrations of trying out one gimmick after another.
I'm a person who prefers to maintain a weight on that higher side of the norm because its where I'm most comfortable. As the year goes by I naturally dip to the lower end of the norm. I eat healthy. My blood levels are perfect. My blood pressure is perfect. I have a high muscular density because of the type of work I do & because I did body building when I was younger.

. I well i guess you still havent read the diet
it is NOT a water diet
NOT NOT NOT even close!
This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. If correctly followed, it will clean out your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds and possibly 17 pounds, and experience an abundance of energy.
SOUP:
* 1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
* 3 plus large green onions
* 1 large can of beef broth (no fat)
* 1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (chicken noodle)
* 1 bunch of celery
* 2 cans green beans
* 2 lbs. Carrots
* 2 Green Peppers
Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce. Cut veggies in small to medium pieces. Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook until veggies are tender.
This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. You may want to fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.
DRINKS:
* Unsweetened juices
* Tea (also herbal)
* Coffee
* Cranberry juice
* Skim milk
* Water, water, water
DAY ONE
Any fruit (except bananas). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits. Eat only soup and fruit today.
DAY TWO
All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with fresh raw, cooked or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas or corn. Eat veggies along with the soup. At dinnertime tonight reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Don't eat any fruits through today.
DAY THREE
Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5-7 pounds.
DAY FOUR
Bananas and skim milk: Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, as is the milk but on this particular day, your body will need the potassium and carbs. Proteins and calcium to lessen the cravings for sweets.
DAY FIVE
Beef and tomatoes: you may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day. Eat the soup at least once today.
DAY SIX
Beef and veggies, eat to your heart's content of the beef and veggies today. You can even have 2-3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.
DAY SEVEN
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies, again, be sure to stuff yourself and eat the soup. You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.
By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this diet, you should have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again.
This diet is fast. The secret lies within the principle that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time. Because of the fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 14 hours before any intake of alcohol.
Due to the variety of digestive systems in individuals, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you do not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need caffeine after the third day.
The basic fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry during the seven days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled or baked chicken instead of the beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef for the other days.
Continue on the diet as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically.
DO NOT - DO NOT
No bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Remember, absolutely no fried foods.
DO - DO - DO - DO
Drink plenty - at least 6 to 8 glasses - of water a day, as well as any combination of the following beverages: black coffee, unsweetened fruit drinks, cranberry juice and skim milk.
This diet comes from the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital that is used for overweight heart patients in order to lose weight rapidly, usually prior to surgery.
