Cutting back on those two things, and this includes juice, I squeeze fresh oranges or grapefruit, and when in season, pomegranates, in the summer beets/carrots/veggies (there is a lot of added sugars in juices), one can easily drop 10 lb over the course of a year without dieting. I'm just lucky I do not really care for carbs or sweet things. Not that I don't eat any carbs or sweets, but a tablespoon of high-quality chocolate chips tossed with some nuts and sprinkled with chilpolte chili powder is one of my favorite snacks. And, as far as carbs go, I rarely eat bread so if I make burgers, I don't eat a bun and I almost always eat whole wheat, not white. I know it is easier to go through the drive through and order a burger, fries, and a "super-sized" drink than it is to go to the grocery store, take the groceries home, and cook. I'm self-employed so I work mostly from home. I'd have to make a special trip to go to a drive-through. It amazes me how much money people spend on fast food. I just picked up just over a pound of ground chicken for $1.11. I have five pre-made burgers in the freezer that I can either eat as burgers or thaw and toss into a spaghetti sauce. That comes out to 22 cents a burger. Now, the portion size is not 1/2 lb, it is the size of my ice cream scoop and fit in the palm of my hand--the recommended portion size for meat.If people would follow those two very basic and very simple rules there would not be such a thing as morbid obesity and half of our population wouldn't be pre-diabetic nor have full-blown diabetes.
