November 5, 201015 yr Active Members I just got back from a month long trip, during which I ate some unhealthy food and no Optifast. Much to my surprise I weigh 10.3 pounds less than I did when I left! I did a fair amount of walking, and tried to eat healthy for the most part. Splurged occasionally, but on the other hand if I wasn't loving something I stopped eating it. Something of the Eat this, not that model (being aware of calories and especially fat/saturated fat in foods). I ate plenty of fruits/vegetables. Started each morning with cereal or oatmeal or eggs and grits and tried to eat something every 3-4 hours. Most places have some healthy options on the menu now, but they often have problems preparing it that way. One of the better 'healthy' meals I had was actually at Denny's: bacon cheeseburger on wheat bun (no mayo, with ketchup and mustard) with fruit instead of fries. Went to pick up some vegetation and water at Costco yesterday. They really do have a hell of a selection. Got a two-pack of bowls of pomegranate whorls (great taste but the piths are a bit annoying), bananas for *cheap*, little 25-calorie baggies of carrots, baggies of cut apples (am going to look for little 2oz things of caramel to dip them in occasionally at grocery), big tub of hummus. Also took a chance on some 'popcorn chips' I saw. Was worried they'd be like bland/dry rice/popcorn cakes. They're much better, and great for dipping in hummus. Chip'Ins from Popcorn Indiana, highly recommended, some sodium but very little fat (0 saturated).
