The meat thing is a big part of it. I've always been a hardcore carnivore.

Also, I have a crazy addiction with soda... and I don't drink diet soda (aspartame is horrible). I go regular all the time. I know that's a big factor right there. I've been drinking a lot of water lately and I'm sure it's helped with the first chunk of weight that I've lost.

Just need to finally cut out soda completely, and take it easy with the meats.

What about carbs though? yay? nay? some? I always get so much conflicting info about that. I used to have a pretty low-carb diet before, and that used to keep me in good shape. But as soon as I started hitting the carbs during the winters here (why is it that wintertime just makes me crave the carbs so much?), then it all went to hell.

this was a reply to Tejano. I'll read the following posts closely. Thanks
