Ugh

So, my natural granola bars are enough to encourage weight loss on their own. I think I'll have to be truly starving to stick one of these in my mouth again.

Anyone know of a good, natural, not overly processed granola bar that doesn't taste like dirt? Or any other good snacky recommendations that don't involved partially hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup?

I've got some of those, although I get bored with them quickly. I'm actually not counting points right now, partially because I'm curious to see how just the removal of those two items that contribute so much to obesity will affect me, and partially because I can only manage one uptight set of diet rules at a time.

So you're just cutting out HFCS and hydrogonated oils? What about portion sizes and fast food?

But as for triscuits yeah, they are not exciting. I have just been eating those and black beans and sometimes salad or weight watchers frozen meals lately. After that crazy shrimp attack, I'm scared of food. And I am really afraid of eating out.

Fast food is almost 100% Partialy Hydrogenated, so it's out completely. (not saying there won't be an occasional fast food treat, but it won't be until I've been doing this for a month at least) Portion sizes seem to be taking care of themselves. I don't have a tendency to pig out on stuff I make myself, and I can't really afford to eat out otherwise, so it seems like it should be fine. Plus, my goal is for wholistic well-being as opposed to weight-loss. This change has actually been spurred on as an experiment in controlling my depression by cleaning up my diet.
