First of all... I had to completely change my diet. I used to eat a lot of fried foods, which has usually has high sodium and loaded with carbs. I also cut out drinks (sodas) and started drinking more water. By cutting down on fried foods, drinking water, eating whole grains, lean meats, and exercising, I've gone from about 275 to 220.
I have a long way to go, but at least I see progress. It was hard at first, but once I got a rhythm, it got even easier.
Something else I learned was "substitution". I love spaghetti, but it is LOADED with a bunch of sodium and carbs. For spaghetti, I use lean ground turkey and whole grain pasta. It tastes just as good with a bunch more benefits. Substitute turkey for ham and beef.... and if you have to have beef, have extra lean beef.
Now, if I could just find a subsitution for Krispy Kreme, it would be all good... lol
