About a week ago I eliminated sugar (in all its many forms) and white flour, also anything containing high fructose corn syrup, and starches like potatoes and corn. Most processed foods contain added sugar, sodium, high fructose, or partially hydrogenated oils (trans fat). Often they contain "all of the above" !!!
What was left to eat was whole foods, natural foods, foods God made that man hasn't messed with, a/k/a "processed".
I was eating the same amount of calories, about 1400 to 1500. I was less hungry than when I was including some sugar or processed foods in my diet. I ate lots of oatmeal, original type Cheerios (only 1 gm. of sugar per cup), brown rice, tuna fish, and fruits and veggies that are low in sugar.
I was amazed to see a smaller belly in just one week!

In the first month I lost 10 lbs. I'm hoping to lose another pound by Saturday!
The other thing I've noticed is that I have started feeling a lot better without all the processed foods. Keep up the good work!!
Eliminating the empty carbs and getting more natural foods also increases the fiber intake. Always a plus when we can get more fiber in our diet.
