With the nicer weather I plan on working out more but want to get better discipline on my meals. Also Im on the road about 2 days a week so that always put a damper on eating habits, so if one is better for traveling let me know. Also these are just two that I've heard about. If someone has any other suggestions Im willing to look into them.

-Over/Under on people saying just eat better and workout is at 5....I get that, I just want something to get me eating right.

Oh and this chart will help you figure out how/what to eat.

The big first step was to actually go to a grocery store for the purpose of stocking my kitchen with food, so I'd have no remotely legit reason to rely on fast food or anything like that. Both for the overall health benefit and for the size of the portions. I can cook a hamburger at home if I want one and I won't be adding the huge calorie amounts from unnecessary sides like french fries.

The main thing with what you said was an uncooperative schedule that includes a couple days on the road. Would it be possible to have a small cooler in your vehicle with, say, a sandwich and a couple pieces of fruit in it? Because if you're looking to drop some weight, just going from "I'm hungry, time to hit Mickey D's" to "I'm hungry, time for that cold cut sandwich and apple I brought with me" should have some results.

But it has lots of protien and only 15 grams of carbs. Other than that I will go to a mexican place and get fajita's with no rice/beans/tortilla or a BBQ place and get pulled pork/chicken (no sauce) and a salad. There are plenty of easy ways to eat out and stick to a paleo/primal diet.

it's really easy and other than the lemon meringue bars, everything tastes pretty good.

and i realize that my eating problem was beyond just eating less, i am a big ole fatty and was and still probably am addicted to food. hopefully this program gets me to a point where i can start over and do the right things. it's not the cure for me.
