Good Luck Dave on your mission to lose some weight.

I know how hard that "battle" is ... hence the saying " battle of the bulge"


I try to eat mostly lean protein , soy products, low fat and low salt dairy products and nuts , along with my veggies... but I CRAVE those carbs!!!

I noticed that one of the side effects of many meds is weight gain.

Some meds can slow metabolism , retain water or just make me hungry.


For the metabolism, I started eating more spices that help speed it up like
chili powder, cumin,turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.

Looking forward to your updates....
