I have eliminated 90% of the beef, and swapped it out for turkey breast when possible,which has helped. I do not notice much of a difference beyond texture. I have also cut way down the Diet Coke (by 2/3), and added in the Sobe and other waters to make up my fluids. So I drink at least double, if not triple what I used do. I do not drink milk, coffee, tea, beer, etc..

I did read an article last weekend saying that you should have a day that you eat whatever you want. Some how, some way, this keeps your body tricked up for the fats and other stuff you cut out the rest of the week.
