"I think red meat is fine, just keep your portions in check and make sure the cut is lean. A portion is the size of a deck of cards."
OMG that is so wrong, a portion is the size of a plate! JK, when I was loosing weight seriously I would limit myself to 6 or 8 oz steaks, but once you get in the range you want to be in and don't need to loose 2 pounds per week as long as you're riding you can pig! I ate a lot of tangerines when I was dieting and found them very helpful, they are delicious and you can eat a ton of 'em. I also liked the half Power Bar recomendations though I used Cliffs.
