In three months I have lost 28 pounds. Oatmeal for breakfast every day for the fiber. It keeps me satisfied longer than anything else. Apples, oranges, veggies, salad with cottage cheese instead of salad dressing--I also add some yellow banana peppers and sometimes a few calamata olives. Yogurt (low fat) for a snack, fish and chicken, and---one day a week, something that I may be craving, such as ice cream or pizza. Exercise with a class three times a week and yard work or walking the other days. Cardio Interval type of exercize with the group. I plan to eat every three hours or so, but small quantities--a piece of fruit, a few nuts, a handful of little carrots. Second favorite breakfast or any meal or snack is a slice of whole grain toast with a teaspoon of peanut butter and one of apricot preserves. Sadly, my cholesteral and triglyceride numbers have not improved, but I'm not giving up yet
Any input on food choices or advice is welcome.
