I’m proof you can lose weight eating whatever you want. Granted, you shouldn’t really want to eat the kind of foods I eat all week.
Here’s my commitment for 5/11 – 5/15: I want to make at least three healthy dinners next week (under 650 calories, very little processed food), mix in some strawberry banana smoothies for lunch, and snack on fruits and vegetables instead of granola bars and “protein” bars.

So glad you made the carbonara–next time, pick a recipe with beans. They are so, so filling and tasty. I think your smoothie idea is a good one. They are tasty and filling, too. I like to use the Fage 2 percent or fat free yogurt in mine. Freezing the banana you’ll use makes them almost like a milk shake.
I think this is definitely a regular guy’s diet. So many call for yogurt and salads. Yes, you could eat more veggies but it’s cool to see you losing weight on stuff people like to eat!
Congratulations on all the hard work!
