ELIMINATING

NUTRITIONALLY VACANT FOOD

Instead of I am "Dieting", I am changing what I eat because when I eat too many processed foods I don't feel as good as when I am eating foods in their natural, fiber-rich, salt-free state. I am trying to be faithful in Using Myfooddiary.com which is an amazing, worth-the-$9-a-month tool. I have only dropped a couple of pounds. But in the past it has brought me amazing results. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to deal with weekends which are my biggest downfall.

Just a note: Dove Dark Chocolate Promises are not nutritionally vacant as they contain anti-oxidants, etc. Guess I'm going to do some real research on Dark Chocolate benefits.
