I am 74 years. Pic was taken last year in June in San Leandro, Ca at tan and bare tanning salon.. My diet is primarily Protein ( whey, Egg, soy) I have lived like that for 20 years. I am not a glutton but believe that most Americans are. I live on Social Security and foodstamps. I think Protein powders should be added to food items.

[as of 8/ 8/08 I weigh 226!] I switched up my eating habits and I added more protein to my diet. I also started taking supplements like CLA and Omega 3 and whey protein.

I have been on a high protein diet for the last 6 months and have lost 42 lbs! I still don't feel healthy! I work a stressful job and take on line courses that add to the stress level I feel every day. I am married to a wonderful man who will graduate in May 2010 with a Masters of Divinty and will become an Episcopal Priest. We will move back to Florida. I know I still have an eating...

As a vegetarian, I wasn't getting enough protein and had very little muscle mass. On low fat high carb, I was constantly hungry and had to do an insane amount of exercise to stay thin.
In May 2009, I switched to a Low Carb High Fat Whole Food...

I am interested in becoming healthier, losing about 10 - 15 pounds and being a better runner. I plan on running some 5 and 10k's and training up for a marathon.

I'm turning 30 in just a few weeks and I feel like for the first time in my life that I "have it together" as far as my diet and exercise goes.
I grew up in a family where soda and ice cream were eaten daily. I never knew the true nutritive value of food until I started to eat healthier (in order to lose weight). Now my meals are balanced between fruits, veggies, protein, and...
