F1,

The important thing is sticking to it. The occasional meat or dairy isn't a problem because you're not on a diet, you've changed your eating habits for the long term.

There are a handful of Chipotles out here and tons of Tex-Mex types of places. Person can eat very healthy for little money at these places.

Find out if any of the burger joints out there have Mushroom burgers...if prepared well...they taste pretty good.
