I Can't Weight
The Keep It Simple diet seems to be working for me. This diet is based on 2 main principles:
1) Eat less
2) Move more
Despite some backsliding last week while we were moving, and some more while Adam was in town, I'm down 15 pounds from my starting weight (which means I'm down 33 pounds from my pre-uvuloplasty weight).
The intake portion of the diet is pretty straightforward: Keep the processed carbs and fats to a minimum, eat plenty of foods that are nutritionally dense relative to their calorie content. In other words, I've been living on chicken breasts, fish, vegetables, oatmeal, and hummus for the last month or so. There's a fair amount of variety and plenty of tastiness.
The output portion is even simpler: I try to walk 2 miles a day. I've been weak on that lately due to all the manual labor involved in the move, but I'm going to get back into it, possibly today.
My "goal" is to get under 200 pounds, but I'm really more invested in the process than the goal right now.
