I am down 15lbs and am losing weight almost every day. I am not starving myself but it is almost impossible to eat out and grocery shopping is tough. Ive had to shop at Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck) and its rather expensive. But I am definitely noticing a difference. I've lost enough that I am actually thinking of going to the doctor for the first time in 16 or 17 years for a physical. got to figure with the lack of refined sugars and little high fat food including red meat this is about as healthy as I am going to get. Eating out is a bad habit in my house, basically at this point i just identify a protein and then get whatever veggies they have with it. I eat maybe 1 piece of red meat a week so it's most often chicken as I don't like fish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goals under 500 calories at lunch, 300 at breakfast and 200 in snacks with a target of 1800 calories with 5-800 of that burned off at the gym every day. Had spinach and field greens with a chimichrri chicken breast some low fat italian and crumbled feta. If I snack its either a couple tablespoons of yogurt or cottage cheese. If I eat a salad at home its always with homemade dressing...my wife makes a killer dressing called yellow gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also drink water constantly from the time i am up till bed which helps me not eat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink 4 or 5 half liter bottles of water a day. Most of the time I add one of the liquid Mio flavorings to it. I'm drinking a lemonade flavored water right now. Tang is pretty good too.

The second ingredient in Mio is propylene glycol, a preservative, thickening agent, and stabilizer, also used as antifreeze to de-ice airplanes, as a plasticizer to make polyester resins, and found in electronic cigarettes. I guess you dont ever have to worry about freezing to death... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to avoid them. Stay away from hydrogenated oils those are the killers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our office used to be off 63rd and Kostner, used to eat there once/twice a week. There is also another a bit north by like 59th street. And in between is Paco's Tacos, also fabulous.

I figured as such from the Zacatacos name, but we don't have tacos al pastor here in the sticks, we have Greek food and the vertical spit reminds me of what the Greek places have.
