Who we are and why we are here:

'He' started out at 450 lbs. 'She' started out at 300 lbs (although had been as high as 330 lbs at one point). Between them they've lost weight, gained weight, and learned a lot along the way.

What you'll find here are our educated thoughts, opinions, and tips for a healthier lifestyle. 'He' minored in psychology, 'she' majored in history - two research heavy fields that have made them both skeptical and able to weed through the sludge in order to find gems. Neither of us is perfect by any means, but as much as possible, we will try not to lead you astray with unfounded, sensational, or fad information.

We are intentionally avoiding fad diets, expensive meal plans, and other extreme (expensive!) weight loss plans.

Start Simple -Forgotten food (breakfast)

Cereal

If you like cereal, make sure you read the box. Fruit Loops are great, but have a lot of sugar. Life is nice for the crunch without the sweetness. Notice here that both of those are around 100 calories per serving, but Total and Kashi are higher. This is why it’s important that you read those labels and choose carefully! Don’t be sucked in by the words “go lean”. On comparison, we found that certain Eggos are lower in calorie AND fat than their Kashi counterparts. Kashi thinks having higher fiber makes up for this fact, but remember what I said about fiber? It may possibly make you feel full longer, but it does not actually burn off the extra calories in the food.
