she put the lime in the coconut

You can follow my weight loss on the right. So far 5 pounds in 3 weeks!

Here's some food I've been eating:

Watch out for added sugars in stuff. It's everywhere like in spaghetti sauce. This is spag sauce from Muir Glen, super sweet sauce with just lovely organic tomatoes (I diced up zucchini and added it too) over brown rice pasta.

I tried Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix which was pretty good, still prefer Trader Joe's though. Get this, if I indulge in dessert, I eat it on an empty stomach. That way, it's not competing with other foods during digestion. Besides, my goal here is yes, to lose weight but NOT be miserable in the process!

Lots and lots of fruits for snacks.

Or more smoothies using plain, nonfat yogurt and stevia for sweetener.

Chicken stirfry loaded with veggies and skipped the rice, don't need the starches when you've got the protein and veggie goodness.

Lots of these too.

I'm not eating less. I'm eating more. More betterer (my grammar is awesome) foods that's all and really trying to avoid empty calories. And...exercising is key too.
