My bmi (last time it was checked) was about 27. I am 6ft tall and weigh 88 kg. I know it should be quite a bit less than that and the extra weight I carry is all around my tummy, the danger area.
Any suggestions?

Your BMI is 26.3. You should aim for 20 to 24.
Just persevere :-) Rome wasn't built in a day - it took a long time to get overweight, so it may take a while to lose it.
Also, I suggest you keep a detailed record of your fructose intake over a two-week period. use the tables in SPQP and a set of kitchen scales to work it out. You may get a surprise!
If necessary, remove the offending foods from your intake.
It may even be worth going "low carb" for a few weeks.Are you diabetic? Also, if he/she has any awareness of fructose metabolism, consult your doctor.
BUT DON'T GIVE UP ...................... your life depends on it :-)
