as someone who has worked hard on eating - i have to say it is a bit of work - but now i am in "maintenance, and it isn't that bad.

the things to remember is to limit processed foods as much as possible. i hear a lot of excuses from people, only one bar, only a little of this, and the excuses seem to be adding ALOT of calories over time.

Other tips -

try for other types of grains
experiment with reducing typical intolerances - sugar, corn, dairy, soy - weight gain is a symptom of an intolerance to those foods

avoid high fructose corn syrup as much as possible. - that includes your power bars and gels.

drink water - dehydration can stagnate weight loss...

stay the course and ride the wave - you will need to adjust eating, because i also ate whenever...think twice before grabbing a snack - i usually will drink a tea or broth if i feel i am about to munch and that usually kills the munchies...

and sleep - and rest and reduce stress...the usual

keep smiling
