Thanks, guys -- I'm currently reading Venuto's book, it was a good buy.

Aside from all the great things already mentioned, dry roasted edamame is a great replacement for peanuts and pistachoes!

Onion rings, and fried fish and seafood at the wharf. Now whenever (rarely if ever) I have them, I always share with two/three people even though the portions aren't so big. But sometimes I want to just eat the entire box for myself :)

I find that after many months of calorie counting I just do it mechanically without thinking --  lately I often enter my calories at the end of the day rather than as I go, and it turns out that I had pretty much my daily allowance, plus or minus about 100 calories.

Since you've already been doing this for a long time, I would try to relax for a week and enter your calories at the end of the day and gauge how you are doing when you're not stressing as much about calories. Probably you already have all the right math and the willpower in you...

I don't really like prepackaged vegetable broth either. Homemade vegetable broth, on the other hand, is awesome. You can find the recipe anywhere -- you just need onion, carrots, celery and you can add many other veggies too (zucchini, squash, etc.)


Then you can have the boiled vegetables as a light but filling side dish with a little dash of olive oil, salt and pepper and chopped parsley; freeze the vegetable broth, even in cubes for your convenience. it's great for soups, risotto etc.

Hey melkor, I am 183 lbs, and already exercise but just sporadically, so I should not have too many issues joint-wise with upping the ante with a combination of diet and cardio. I think that I eat very well, in that I cook all of my meals, do not eat junk food at all and eat plenty of veggies & fruit (which I love). The issue is that this is the waist fat I accumulated around 17-18 and never really got around to shed.

I have been looking at online videos yesterday and am thinking of going to the gym every two days with a personal trainer. I'll keep posting my progress :)

Claudius and nermil, thanks for your response!  I will be trying really hard in the next few months to work on burning off my fat. My BMI is 25.5, so not exaggeratedly on the overweight side, but my fat percentage (according to my scale) is pretty high, about 30%. I will try to do some cardio every morning (videos and gym, at alternate days). Does that sound good?
