That is a great idea mixing them with yogurt
The devil is in the details and this thread gives you details
Yeah good advice on the salt. I also eat too many salted in the shell peanuts lol I am TERRIBLE I know. lol it is funny if it wasnt so sad.
But I think I can learn to like many nuts without salt. As a snack but dont over do them as someone said.
I obvously have to start counting calories but just removing all that cheese and red meat plus all refinded sugar/corn syrup.. should really help a lot. I dont eat much sugar/corn syrup but I get the feeling that just a little of that defeats the purpose and is the worst. Plus I will binge. If it isnt in the house I dont miss it. I make do.
At my weight now days I am good for about two major stores like Walmart and a Large groc store and then the weight is too much.
I am gen in good health but with that diet, no wonder I never lose. I never gain weight anymore and if I do it is easily removed, but with that diet I never lose, if I do happen to do some more exercise or something like mow.
I have maxed out at 318. About 305 now. If I go under 300 (had a chest cold last year and did) I really notice just that 5 LBs. If I go OVER 310 I begin to get in dangerous waters. The other day after pasta, 4oz dry weight over 4 days, not a ton but, I gained 3 LBs and was about 308. I went shopping, ate less and lost 3LB in one day.
So I really just want to get down 6 LBs to 299 to begin. That will be a big start. Only 6 LBs. Then I am on my way.
