hey guys!
I am a sophomore student in college, where eating right and exercise is pretty tough, but I manage to work out 3-5 days a week and eat almost a complete vegetarian diet.
I have not read the book, but from what I have researched, I seem to be on the right track already.
I don't normally get a chance to eat breakfast, but when I do, it's all fruit.
lunch time, I eat in the cafeteria and it consists of spinach salad with veggies, a piece of fruit, steamed veggies.
dinner, I eat in the caf as well, which usually includes the same above, but whatever they are serving on the menu that is vegetarian
I drink a lot of water and watered down natural cranberry juice. I also drink coffee.
some info about me: I am 20, weigh 175, and i am 5'2''. I eat very healthy and i work out, but I have never been able to lose much weight. I lost about 20 pounds a few years ago, but since then, no luck. I am pretty muscular and have a bigger bone structure. I don't have plans to be tiny tiny, because that would be impossible for me and truth is, I would look funny. My goal weight is about 140-150. Doctors say that that would be the perfect weight, given my bone structure and body type.
just looking for a way to be healthier and lose some weight.
I would appreciate any feedback or tips. Thanks!

If you do have access to the book then reading it will be a fantastic step in the right direction. If the reason you're not reading it is that you can't afford it I have two suggestons
1) ask for it in your public lending library
2) in the meantime, read this short free book, also produced by Dr Joel Fuhrman: Eat Right America - nirmk.byethost13.com/ERA%20eBook.pdf please copy the bold text into your browser's adress barLast edited on 7 January 2010 07:55 pm by Nir

I second what nir says. You can get some understanding about eating alot of salads as well. I am on the program for the second time although I am not doing the 6 week plan this time but the life plan which agrees with me much better. I feel clean yet satisfied. I am also not one of those type who will ever be thin thin but just gettining healthy and being able to be active with my children is important to me.
good luck on your journey!
