Re: New Member and struggling, help!!! | | You're welcome.
Many members actually lose weight better when eating veggies. Those are good for your health and you should keep them on the menu. Enter your menus in FitDay or something similar and check your macronutrients and the vitamins & minerals you are getting from food. Are you taking a multivitamin? Being deficient in some of these nutrients may slow down your weight loss, which is one of the reasons why veggies are important in your diet.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
