    Great post. The only thing I will disagree with is the eat ice cream every day. Although I agree that it is as simple as you state, each person MUST determine a diet that they can sustain long term. And I know myself well enough to know that eating sweets every day is a recipe for disaster. For ME. That's why I restrict my diet to no sweets during the week. Saturday is cheat day where they are unrestricted. That one day allows me to keep them in my diet and not crave them any other time. If I eat them during the week, I do not have the self control to stop eating them.

    With that said, if I could handle them mentally, I would be able to lose weight or add muscle or whatever I wanted to do with the simple guidelines outlined in the original post.

    Enjoy the ride!
