haha vort!  "shortish torso" - I've never heard that description before.
Senna, just stay hungry and push fluids:
-Vitamins, antioxidants (blueberries kick ass, or bluegreen algae), 
-start by replacing one meal with a 'snack size meal'.  Replace whatever you're eating now with more veggies, salads, etc.    
-Cut the sugar (no softdrinks, non-natural juices).  
-More water.. Fats are processed and moved throughout the body much easier when you're hydrated.  Strive for a gallon a day.  
-If you feel the urge to eat, force a glass down.
Don't worry about what to eat and what not to eat too much though.  Just scale everything back just a tad until you adjust. 
btw, go for an enema while you're at it... you'll kickstart your diet and lose a few pounds in one day!
