    Life is to be lived too.
    It's more lifestyle than diet.
    And once the lifestyle becomes habit, it gets easy.

    I agree totally agree.

    Stay away from carbs...especially refined sugar and flour. Chicken, eggs, greek plain yogurt (sweeten with splenda and fruit...buy real yogurt not the fake light and fit stuff since it isnt even real yogurt),vegetables..and I mean a lot of vegetables, and tuna.
