How to eat well and lose weight

You don't have to starve yourself to lose weight. You don't have to drink weird shakes, take potentially dangerous diet pills, or live on fat-free foods that are loaded with preservatives. You can eat real food that tastes great!

The secret is to use the Glycemic Index to eat foods that won't cause your body to store them as fat. I use The Low G.I. Diet by Rick Gallop as the basis of my plan. If you read the blog post I linked to above, titled "Now I'm cooking to Get Fit!", you'll see a list of just some of the great foods I am eating, plus a recipe and photo of the delicious egg-and-veggie scramble I made for dinner last night.

I am seriously addicted to sugar, and I have failed to lose weight following dozens of weight-loss plans, including EIGHT attempts at Weight Watchers. I never thought I would be able to give up donuts, and sugar in my coffee, but I am so full from eating all this great food that I don't miss it, at least not yet!

I hope you enjoy reading this Lens, feel free to ask any questions or leave your comments about your own weight loss experiences. We can lose weight! And feel great! And EAT!!!
