Can anyone suggest any proven ways for weight loss?????

I guess if you eat simple foods, like I tend to, logging calories is not to hard.

For example

english muffin-160 calories
sandwich with chicken, basil, olive oil and balsamic and tomato- we will say roughly 450
luna bar-180
propel-25

umm that is it for today so far. might have a snack and then dinner.(I also only did a 30 minute recovery ride on the trainer this morning and then 3 or so miles of commuting so far, will probably put in another 30 minutes tonight, but super easy heart rate around 100) so this is food for an off day.

I tend to eat simple but healthy, I eat a ton of eggs, brown rice, whole wheat pasta and protein(chicken, pork chops, and red meat). I don't use fat based substances except for olive oil, oh and I rarely eat out I have a thing about knowing what I am eating.
I find it is actually quite simple to keep track of food, I don't even write it down anymore- I usually find myself adding it up in my head at some point during the day.



but...... I have a weird obsession with numbers!! and things for me have to be even, so I am probably an extremist and not one to follow, just take ideas from :-) I get kind of obsessive with my food at times and even though I think it is normal, especially the lack of junk food, alcohol, and anything with artificial sweetner in it, most people tell me I live a very boring life because of it and they don't understand how I deal- for me, splurging is eating all natural peanut butter with a spoon out of the jar.

So please don't think I am being harsh or anything else, I know what I am saying is not realistic to most people, I hope it just gives you some ideas.
