I am trying to get on a health kick here, loosely translated I want to lose about 40 pounds, maybe more. I tried out some soy based bratwurst today. The most awful thing I have ever tasted. Ketchup couldn't save this stuff. Why is it that stuff that is supposedly good for you, because it's all organic and stuff tastes like wet cardboard??
Honestly, eliminate as much processed foods, especially white flour and sugar, as possible. Also, don't shirk away from fats. A healthy diet should be 40-30-30. A low fat diet consumes more carbs which are more easily turned into body fat. Fat gives you a more filled up feeling and you only digest 1/4 of the calories.... it's colon lubricant. Can you eat a pound of cookies/crackers, sure. A pound of butter/cheese, no.
