Comments on: Calories in Sushi, Fruit Loops, Gyros… http://www.344pounds.com/2009/11/calories-in-sushi-fruit-loops-gyros/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

It contains aspartame which can have very serious side effects in many human beings. The highest number of complaints to the FDA involve aspartame/nutrasweet. You are better off with the calories, etc. in regular soda. I speak from experience, I temporarily lost vision in my left eye and had severe eye pain when I was drinking a large diet soda everyday at lunch time. When I stopped my vision returned and the eye pain stopped in about 10 days. Please do not drink diet soda. It contains aspartame which can have very serious side effects in many human beings.

The cereals and granola bars are mostly sugar. Have you had your blood sugar checked recently? Not wanting to nag and harass, but I've been a little concerned about the high fat/high carb/low veg patterns for a while - it's going to make it difficult to meet your goal and make it difficult to maintain. I'm glad you are planning to work on the quality of your diet - it's going to be another huge journey! I wish you well.

I just want to said, that I'm not perfect too in the weekend. But, i gave me some bad choice only with friend on special event (like the past week-end at the NFL Game in Buffalo). I really appreciate your blog.. I'm doing the same thing here in Quebec, and the Press follow me for many paper. My blog and my Press news are in "french", but you coul'd translate it in Google or something. I think people like you .. (and even me) could give people inspiration. Don't give up men !!! The next step is to continue, even if the scale don't show a rapid weigth loss ;-) ... but your life will show you many better thing ! Have a nice day ! Fred Tyler,

You're right, losing the taste for bad food and drinks and learning how to make and eat healthy food is the only real way to be "healthy." I can lose weight eating junk food, but at the end of the day I'm still "unhealthy" relatively speaking. I'm healthier, but not as healthy as I could be. We'll take this journey into its second year and we'll see if my food choices don't progress. It seems like they already are with the exception of the weekends. I appreciate the post, Fred!
