We forget the secret is the calories not the quality of food you eat. I was told that I have to stay in the 900 - 1000 calorie range. Now I could eat that with one piece of junk food or eat 3 meals throughout the day. On Thanksgiving I choose the pie along with some other crap but I stayed just over 1000 calories. Now today will be a 500 calories day of salad and such. I use software to track my caloric intake so if I have an off day I just adjust. Also, I rarely eat more than 300 calories at one time. My VGS keeps that part of my new lifestyle in check.
