And I do agree with Hec's comment. -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

Then whatever diets/foods/snacks, etc fall in all three categories are what I use to create my diet. My suggestion is to use diet books, etc to get ideas, but ultimately it will be more successful if you go with your gut, keeping your goals in mind.

However, once Valentine's Day came and those TEMPTING chocolates came around, I caved and got those sugar cravings back. I'm more for moderation and making healthy choices with a few slips here and there along the way. Do what you feel is right for you and your body. There are days that are very low in calories though so be prepared for some unpleasant feelings if you do decide to begin it. Those unpleasant feelings also go away within time.
