Before & After pics 80lb loss, + my diet plan

I know that food looks very "blecky" to everyone, but honestly, once you re-train your body to eat like that, it is much easier. We are so used to super fat, ultra salty high sugar foods, that the idea of *not* eating those scares the crap out of us.

I think I should mention that it was never intended to be a diet plan - that is just the food we naturally gravitated to. I am just documenting what we ate. We never really made a list of foods we could or couldn't have.

We did "fail" usually once a week or so. But we always gravitated back to those foods.

This sort of "diet" I listed is completely unattainable if you try to jump into it. We GRADUALLY started eating like this. There is no person I know that could just start eating like this (myself included). It's something that yo have to ease into.

Yeallift is absolutely right. Don't limit yourself to those foods, you will cry into your pillow every night if you try to. I should have been more specific about *how* we did it.

For example, A basic meal for us might have been, half a chicken breast each (broiled) plain millet, black-beans and corn. We might have started of with one chicken breast each, some millet, black beans and corn and half of an Amy's Cheese enchilada each. Then after time stopped eating the enchilada.

We basically used a technique of "watering down" our foods with bland foods and then slowly cut out the "rich" foods.

And even doing that, ultimately, when faced with massive temptation, I went off the food and never went back - HOWEVER - we did learn a lot about our bodies, our calories, foods and changed our eating habits when we ate like that, and that knowledge has helped me keep off the weight for over 2 years now.

Good luck to you all!
