If you just want to lose weight ( and don't have diabetes), you have to change your lifestyle and exercise more. Walking for at least a half hour a day is a starting point. I found when I gave up red meat, my blood pressure went down considerably. I am now 95-100/60 with a heart rate of 70. Too much saturated fat clogs the arteries. Yes, I know, all meat diets have been successful for some looking to lose weight. I have nothing against red meat. I ate it for most of my life and loved it, but don't miss it any longer. I have developed the same craving for salmon that I use to have for a NY Porterhouse steak. Also, the key to losing weight is walking away from the table feeling comfortable without stuffing yourself. Stuffing yourself is a great American very unhealthy tradition. There is nothing wrong in walking away from the table a little hungry or still wanting more to eat till your stuffed. I am a little surprised that you found vegetables stuffed you. It does not do that to me. But then again, I am not looking to gain or lose weight.

Of course, it is not fun, Blasher. I'd much rather eat lasagna, beef bonacinni (filet mignon stuffed with gorgonzola), pizza, meatballs and spaghetti. But I had no choice but to go healthy. Eating is a job that I do to stay healthy. I have fun in other areas, making love, making money, exchanging ideas ( even if we disagree), jogging, helping others, friendship and family. If I go back to what I use to eat, I will become prediabetic and possibly diabetic. In life we have to make sacrifices sometimes. At least, I can walk, talk, think and make love. I can never eat my favourite foods again. That's my sacrifice for living a longer, healthy life. I eat to live now. I have accepted it. I have no choice, like the person who walks with a cane or walker. And I am not complaining. I am one of the lucky ones without a toe being amputated or getting glaucoma. Life is good without my favorite foods.
