Reply #11: I will read that... [View All]

[Maddy McCall]

I will go there in a sec...but I must say that I feel more energetic, healthier than I have felt in 15 years. After reading Fast Food Nation, I cut out all forms of fast food, and am now eating what I call whole foods. I don't eat ground beef, but will eat pork loin and chicken breasts, etc. I eat all kinds of veggies, except for potatoes. And I cheat and drink a huge glass of OJ in the morning.

I am also taking a great multivitamin daily. I am now in the part of the diet where I can add carbs back slowly. I changed the whole way I eat, though, hopefully for the long haul.

I also gave up soft drinks--now I drink water, unsweetened tea, and an occasional diet drink (Diet Sunkists are great!)

I am still losing a little weight, but most of what I lost was attributable to quitting sugar laden soft drinks. I was drinking at least 6 one-litre bottles of Mountain Dew each day!

I appreciate the link to the article...am going to read it now. Thanks!
