Eating smart

As I've been losing weight, I've also been hitting certain plateaus.  Though overall in my life I've lost about 42 pounds in the past 10 years, I've also hit another plateau recently, and I'd like to lose another 20 pounds.

I walk a lot, about as much as I can - 6 hours a week.  I've recently changed the things that I eat:

  • I cut out candies and sweets
  • I've been eating more fruits and vegetables at all meals
  • I've been incorporating a lot more beans and fish into my meals
  • I've been eating sourdough bread and reducing my rice intake
  • I've been reducing my dinnertime consumption, especially of meat
  • I eat avocados and nuts daily
These things all follow Blue Zones ways of eating.

I also came across this video, which says that reduction of meat consumption can have significant impacts on mankind's contribution to global warming.


This is a good, permanent change to make.  And I really love the taste of beans, fish, and fruits and vegetables.
