Ordered to. Basically what I ate had to change due to an overproduction of
insulin. So no more sugar, reduced starchy foods. As a result, I lost weight
whether I wanted to or not..it was immaterial to me as I was never
bothered by my appearance to begin with. My dietician was just concerned
with the sheer amount I lost (on average, a pound per day) and was
concerned that I could get very unhealthy very quickly. By any standard
you choose (governmental, standard health weight/bmi scales) the supposed
'optimal weight' for my height (150) would be *far* too low for my build
anyways. But I digress...

*shrug* It's a catch-22. I'm damned if I drink cokes, I'm damned if I
don't.
