I don't talk about food too much on my blog. To be honest, I don't eat as much of it as I used to. Last year I made some big changes to the way I consume it which lead me to dropping 40 pounds and having to change nearly my entire wardrobe.
I have three basic rules when it comes to my diet. Only eat when my body tells me I need to do so which means no set meal times. Eat less and stay hungry. Being hungry is better than being stuffed. Don't treat food as a hobby, In other words, don't keep eating because it tastes so good.
That's about all it took. I do avoid nearly all meat, dairy products and wheat as well. Mostly I eat a lot of vegetables.
That doesn't mean I can't enjoy food or cheating a bit. Just not to extreme.
Take, for example, this list from the great food writer at Scene, Doug Trattner, 25 Things to Eat in Cleveland Before You Die. It's one of the best lists I've seen of this nature. I can attest to some of his claims and look forward to trying all of the rest.
