The most important thing to keep in mind is to find some low calorie but filling foods to eat with every meal. Sweet Potatoes are very filling and have about 170 calories. If you have trouble eating breakfast Use Slim Fast TYPE Ready to Drink Shakes. Wal- Mart, Target and Kroger have their own versions. I actually prefer the store brands.
You should try to have two or three types of veggies with a small amount of protein in each meal. A chicken breast with Broccoli, green beans and cooked carrots. Very filling.
Look for more sample menus to come in the near future.

OctoberFast 2012 Starts today
In January I posted that I would weigh 200 pounds by the end of March of this year. Well the sounds of crickets in the post should let you know how unsuccessful that was. Business has been great. A number of personal items are in place and I am on the precipice of some really good results from seeds I have been planting for years.
Life Balance has to be under control. Weight and Health always seem to lose out to dining out and drinking. Understand that I walk a minimum of 3.5 miles everyday and hit the gym at least 6 days a week.
But we all know...
