In the following 25 months, with a program of good nutrition and exercise, I have lost about 280 pounds. For the first time in my life I am approaching a normal size. More fruits, more vegetables, less meat, a lot less fat, more diversity. Most importantly, I learned about making smart choices. I now eat buffalo instead of beef, for example.
Buffalo tastes just as good and has a fraction of the fat of beef.
I enjoy a lot of seafood and low-fat poultry products. I won t kid anyone. There are a lot of things I miss from the old days, but honestly I would not trade any of the things I am eating now. This cuisine has been spectacular. I also refused to call my new eating habits a diet.
