She's right, all calories are not equal. The last few pounds are the hardest. If you really need to lose a few more lbs of fat, cut out sugar and lower your carbs a bit (unless you're active, then I'd just watch the types of carbs you're eating). Eat more vegetables! Eat lots of protein and don't shy away from fats, they…

I read it... honestly, no helpful information. Google "paleo" or Mark's Daily Apple for a real flat belly diet. I couldn't believe what I read in that book! :P

Oh, and I lost 50 pounds a few years ago. Took me a little over a year but only because at first, I wasn't trying to lose weight. Right now I'm trying to lose 20 I gained back and then some more. It's hard, but you have to get into the right mindset. Look at it like I want to be healthy and happy, not like I have to diet…

I agree with what everyone else has said. Start small! Get out the door and commit to 10 minutes of an activity. If it sucks, at least you did something. If you enjoy it, do 30 minutes! If you crave something, drink water. If you still crave it, have a small portion. Don't deprive yourself or you'll go nuts! (personal…

Beef jerky, Larabars (easy to make at home too), nuts, raw veggies, little tupperware of nut better to dip veggies in! Cheese sticks if they're not out of the fridge TOO long. You could freeze a greek yogurt and it'll defrost and still be cold when you eat it (not sure how safe that is though! ;) )

Lactose intolerant my whole life, and I developed soy intolerance & gluten intolerance in the past few years. I rarely eat yogurt/kefir (makes my nose run), sometimes I eat cheese, and I avoid everything else dairy. If I slip up with wheat, I feel groggy, get a headache, and end up with a wheat/gluten hangover the next…

Almond milk. I am lactose intolerant and soy intolerant (plus, soy is terrible for you).

I used to hate the EXACT same foods. Now I eat mushrooms and coconut products very often (not together...)

Eat more fats. Add butter to your meat & veggies dish. Or coconut oil, olive oil... If you absolutely need it, a potato will help to make your meal more filling!

I have to lower my carbs to lose weight myself (but I'm a female and eat around 1400-1600 cals a day)... I'd say your diet is pretty healthy but don't be scared of fat! Have full-fat milk, eat more eggs... Maybe occasionally replace the biscuits with a banana? (I don't know what wheatabix are, but sliced bananas and a nut…

This might be a weird food obsession but I can't stop eating mushrooms sauteed in butter with garlic, onions, salt, & pepper... Another one is chocolate chip cherry torte Larabars!

I've only had dried figs & fig preserves! Delicious. I eat dried figs by themselves or with almond butter. I've read that they're amazing stuffed with avocado! I buy them at a Middle Eastern produce store, and I know they sell them at Whole Foods.

Most of the snacks I eat have already been said; hard-boiled eggs, rolled up deli meats, nuts, nut butter, coconut butter, full-fat greek yogurt when I eat dairy, uncured pepperoni is my favorite! I don't really snack too much since starting paleo, just eat large meals 3 times a day and sometimes have a snack after dinner…
