I've been doing the best life diet (as anyone whose read my lj would know), and have lost 20 since September. and the best thing is, I'm craving veggies as my side of choice, not fried. I had fries the other day and got literally sick - and it was a well done french fry, not a crappy one!
I think too many people have excuses not to eat healthy - it takes too long, too hard to do, too expensive. If you stopped buying the junk food, bought less meat, and bought frozen veggies, you'll find it's simple and cheap. We keep five different kinds of frozen veggies that we mix and match, along with raw carrots and celery, cucumber, tomatoes and onions. They are inexpensive, it's easy to cook to frozen veggies - just put into a casserole and microwave. and they are super tasty that way. And fruit, well, we buy vacuum sealed frozen fruit and thaw it overnight for eating in the morning. not as good as fresh, but a great way to get out of season fruits!
I can understand allergies - I had a tomato allergy for years, and my mom is badly allergic to mushrooms - but there are so many varieties and choices, it's really not as hard as some people make it out to be. and a serving really isn't THAT much. I've learned to choke down coleslaw (with fat free mayo, of course) simply because cabbage is very good for you. i throw in raisins to make it taste better :D
Eating healthy has saved my life, and I get so frustrated by people who refuse to understand what they are doing to themselves.
