well, I've not been eating right. Winter months (though I know others on here have worse winters) tend to make me lazy. Anything below 50 degrees farenheit and I hibernate. I just eat what's here until it's gone then make myself make an extra stop at the store. Not a good diet in the winter. :(

Other success stories with other types of diets. From what I have found the trick is to follow a balanced diet and - well, if interested you can check it out with googling the article or Modified Mediterranean Diet or just Mediterranean Diet. I tried to post the link but I don't think the site allows URL's.
