Hi,
This looks like an awesome forum though a little overwhelming with all it has to offer! I'm grateful to have found it and will keep exploring.
Part of my challenge is having too much conflicting info and having tried many diets and weight loss plans that worked for awhile and then gained the weight back plus some. No doubt, I'm not alone on this.
Also through the years I've tried to incorporate more whole foods and less meat. So one of my ongoing challenges is finding a variety of protein sources that I enjoy. I'm picky and don't eat much seafood, nor care for eggs and recently have minimized even poultry except when eating out.
There are soy products that I like, though even that has become controversial and I'm not sure what to think. So currently I'm going with Greek yogurt, nuts & nut butters, cheeses, salmon, tuna, beans & occasional mild fish like cod or walleye. And once in awhile, I'll use protein powder for a smoothie.
My preferred diet is bread & chocolate, but that's not working

so I need to commit to a plan a bit more healthy and slimming. Hoping to find something here though haven't ruled out working with a nutritionist.
