"Hunger makes the best sauce." _Spanish proverb

I had the same dilemma. I weighed 235 after summer vacation (about 40 lbs. above my BMI). I wondered what changes I might make to get down to my BMI level. Instead of thinking diet and reducing quantity, I had to think of what I did too much of and replace it with something better; but not necessarily give it up.

My name is (Gre)Gorio, and I'm a bread addict. I thought quitting bread was absolutely out of the question. Still is. I'm sorry, I love pasta, bread (in all its forms) and other flour derivatives. I can't eat fake pasta or low carb bread. I can, however, eat only fruit for breakfast, a meat/vegetable combo (pot roast, chicken soup) for lunch, and whatever I want for supper (something with bread, I'll guarantee you that.) I've just cracked 200 ( I started doing this when I started back to school: Sept. 3, 2010). I'm losing the weight and eat as much/well as any other human should have a right to. I don't lay off at supper time. I eat great. My lunches are the envy of the teacher's lounge. Lean Cuisine that, mofo!! While others are eating nucrowave garbage in a box, I'm enjoying the real deal and (easily) double the portion they eat in the box. I'm feeling good and looking like a 41 yoa, slowly balding, scars all over, former wrestler, good hubby/dad, Greek demigod.

Three to four fruit choices at breakfast, a great portion of pot roastm chili or other meat/veggie combo for lunch and a deliciously prepared supper. The lunch selelction means I have to cook two extra measl on Sunday. Oh, shucks, I hate cooking. NOT!!!!

I can't say it will work for you, but I bet you can find something that will. It's not a diet, it's saving your dessert for dessert is all.
