[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 19788"] To me, low-calorie, low-fat equals low taste. And I just won't eat it. I know if I try, I might do it for a while and then I will just binge. And for the record, I *hate* skim milk. It makes me gag. All the diets call for skim milk. Sorry. Ain't gonna happen. I'm a 2% girl. And I think that's ok. Moderation is key for me. And any diet that requires I cut out a certain kind of food just will not work for me. I know my limits. I'm not going to make any major changes over night. If I start out that way, it will never last more than a couple days. But I'm going to start making some smarter choices. And then some more after that. Janna - You mentioned trying various breads.
