     You have an good diet, a hard thing to do especially in this country.

Hard..... more like challenging.  But certainly not impossible.  Just get into the habit of reading those nutrition labels and substituting stuff. 

Sugar = bad
High fructose corn syrup = really bad
bleached, enriched flour = really bad
enriched wheat flour = still bad
Coke = bad (although I occasionally indulge anyway)
Diet Coke = really bad
Crisco = disgustingly bad
Pam = bad
margarine = very, very bad!
red meat = not so much
pork = considering they eat, sleep, and play in their own crap, would you want to eat them?  Personally, I wouldn't.  And bacon is the most disgusting thing ever invented by man.

Okay, I think you guys get the point.  None of that is real food.  It's like only pretending to water your plant or feeding your cat cardboard and lint, somehow expecting it to still be happy, healthy, and frolicky.  Now for some viable substitutes:

honey = really good
fresh lemon = good
fresh oranges = good
whole wheat bread with no additives or preservatives = GOOD!
rye bread = good
all-natural, organic granola = really good
organic yogurt with 6-8 live active cultures = very, very good -- let's just say, GI problems B-gone!
tea = good
coffee (in moderation) = good
water = good
fruit juice (with no added sugar) = good
olive oil = a Godsend
real butter (in moderation) = okay, but still multitudes better than margarine
salmon = good
sardines (even in the can!) = good
Farmer's Market = YUM & Good at the same time !
wild game = again, yum
flaxseed = good
wild rice = good


Okay, well, you guys get the picture.  And not all this stuff is expensive, either.  Some of it may be, but it either goes on sale, or you can get it somewhere else for cheaper.  Sure, it may taste bland next to Americanized food, that has all the additives, fake flavorings, preservatives, and fake color, but your taste buds will wake up, and your body will be happier in the long run.   

And........  just say NO to cardboard!  *blech*


Sorry for the BIG quote, BUT excellent points none the less.

I suggest these books

Maximum Energy-Ted Broer
Abs diet-mentioned above(haven't read it yet, but my cuz swears by it too)
death tho diabetes-McCully
You,the owners manual-Roizen and Oz

pieced together i've cross referenced and have had great results. Not only in weight loss, but my whole outlook on taking ownership of my body.

currently 179lbs and 5'6"
was 215lbs
Quiting soda was a big factor as well as no food befor bed. I work 4pm to 2:30am so thats still a struggle some nights.

love my protein shakes too. lots of soup(homemade) and spicy V8.

lesse here....diet:

-Lots of whole grains
-Lots of good, kosher meat
-lots of fruits and veggies
-lots of milk, almost no soda at all
-tons of iced tea (hey, I work at a coffee/tea shop, ok?)
-about one ice blended shake every other day

And I work out three times a week and ride my bike to work.

And I sit in front of my computer a lot.

And I weigh perhaps a bit more than I should, but not much.

So I'm semi-healthy.  But healthier than a LOT of people.

I try to walk every day at work during my lunch 45 min.  I skate somtimes 3 hrs at a time when I can go.  We eat organic food for the most part-just not 100%.  It's a bit more cost but the food tastes better to me.
