So then I started eating better. No cookies, no candies, no chocolates, no chips (aside from my quaker rice snaks and my veggie sticks, I hardly ever eat them though, they are more for "treats"), no white bread. I hardly EVER eat bread anyway, but when I do, I eat that whole 9 grain bread.



I started eating lots of fish, lots of chicken, and I kept beef in my diet (we just bought half an organic cow, so it HAD to be eaten), I eat lots of fruits and vegetables now, plus I take fish oil tablets and a multivitamin pretty much every day. Lost a few more lbs, in all I've probably lost 6-7.

Is there anything else I should be cutting out, foods that might have "hidden" sugars or hidden bad things that I don't know about? I d on't use salad dressing on my salads, I use lemon, btw, and use spinach and nuts and stuff.







PS: I graduate high school in about 2 weeks, so after that I'm devoting my time to exercise. I realize i've been puttingit off, and i don't have any excuses. I will start walking/running/whatever after I graduate HS.

Fruit is the biggest hidden sugar culprit, along with dressings/condements. Congrats on graduating high school! Looks like you're great so far eating healthier.
