Thanks Marty, you're such an inspiration!
Here are his before and after pic's.
and heres how he looks today, wow!
I forgot to tell you:
ReplyDeleteOnly non-fat milk
No corn syrup
Special treat: small piece of dark chocolate
Faves: nonfat Greek yogurt. Can sub for sour cream. Add to sauces to make them creamy.
Never skip breakfast.
Have a healthy snack mid-morning and afternoon to avoid eating like a goat later on.
Read labels. So many products are labeled to look healthy and they aren't. Nature Valley can go to Hell.
Limit of two drinks a day. Red wine is best. Mixed drinks are usually full of sugar and empty calories.
I'm serious about legumes. I've got three kinds of lentils in my pantry, and a half dozen favorite lentil recipes.
A small handful of nuts makes a good snack...but not if they're sugar coated.
