Has been very helpful for me. I've gone from 183#'s in march down to about 166# currently. Biggest things have probably been portion control and substituting healthier options.

I love cheeseburgs and make them frequently at home. Originally a 1/3 lb 85% patty, bun and cheese were about 550 calories. I've since switched to 1/3 lb 96% beef paties, wheat bun, 2% cheese and get something that is equally filling and only 360 calories. Eggbeaters for whole eggs. Miracle Whip Lite versus regular. An 8 ounce glass of soda instead of a full can. All the little things add up in the end.

Deli meats are pretty filling, low cal and low in fat so they have become a lunch staple. The little pre packed bags of chips ensure I don't go dishing out 2+ servings when I try to pack my own potato chips.

Now if only those 8oz cans of coke didn't cost twice as much as the 12oz cans i'd buy those in a heartbeat.
