You are gonna have so much fun with this! It is much easier to follow a strict diet when you are learning about the nutrition part of fitness & watching to see how you feel after each meal, each day, etc, instead of just starving yourself, feeling deprived, panicking when you get a craving, etc. And once you've gone thru it, you have so much more control over the act of eating - optimally it becomes a balance of foods you eat & enjoy and just a simple refueling for your body. You've heard the saying "Eat to live, not live to eat"? When you can do that for a fit lifestyle, you have learned the key to quality life.

I'll also add that Shadow can give you some great recipes because it does get awfully boring after a while if you are eating your food very plain. I grill just about everything but I'm pretty thin on the condiments & stuff. Mustard, vinegar, pepper, cajun / hot pepper spices, lemon, etc. I also recommend the "South Beach Diet" book because it has some great, very simple recipes in it.

It's a good idea to have a basic all around cookbook for the way you eat....

That said....... should you need recipe or food ideas, please let me know in the Recipe Thread or via PM..... I'll try to come up with something for you, or think of something -- ingredients, spices, etc..... Cuz while you want to do this I don't think you need to go crazy with blah! food..... I can post ideas in your thread also & if not according to your plan, Shadow can correct it....

Thanks to you all. I feel so lucky for this opportunity (thanks again Shadow)

Jenscats5, if you see anything feel free to add ideas in. I'm not all that great with spices, so that would be great!
