I do disagree with anonymous about farm fisheries. At the rate we’re going, we need to stop eating fish altogether. Read “Cod” by Mark Kurlansky and you’ll stop consuming fish. I only eat fish once or twice a month in the form of sushi out of concern for the environment and my budget. (I really don’t like cooked fish at all.)

Good luck on continuing the success!

I lost 40 lbs in 2 years by adhearing to a similar set of rules, but it was gradual. I didn’t touch my eating habits until I’d gotten comfortable working out 3 to 5 times a week. Then it just came naturally because I didn’t want to “undo” all of my hard work by eating crappy food.

That was 6 years ago and I still weigh the same target weight! It’s a lifestyle now, not a diet.

i’ve gone two weeks without eating any office candy and if i can do it on a regular basis and not look at it, i’ll be much better off!

thanks for the ideas! i’m really looking forward to seeing how things work out with the eating.

How do you stay full during the day if you don’t eat much meat? If you could post your daily meals and what you snack on that’d be great. i tried to eat more veggies such as broccoli but it wasnt enough.

So yeah, I’m jettisoning the cheese. Other suggestions? Sushi is yummy. We try not to eat a lot of rice, but a store near us has fresh California rolls every day. Very filling and fairly low fat.

It is very encouraging to hear that other people are going through similar things that I am. Thank you everyone! ^_~
