May/June weight loss thread

[Susan Otcenas]

I don't eat a lot of fruit - it's too high in carbs.

Carbs are our bodies' primary fuel. I try to get 65% or so of my daily caloric intake from carbohydrates. I'm not a believer in low carb diets, though I recognize that they work for others.

Plus I'm pretty picky about it... no blemishes, has to be just theh right firmness...

Nuts have been my latest thing.

I'm picky about my fruit too. Especially the right firmness. I like crunchy apples, crisp grapes, etc.

I loooooove nuts(especially roasted & salted), but eat them only in moderation. Full of good fats, but fats nonetheless. It's very easy for me to have too many and consume a lot of additional unnecessary calories.
