I am a 50 year old man and executive chef by trade. I have worked in kitchens for 37 years and being around a constant supply of excellent food has contributed to my present state of corpulence!
The fat secret food diary and data base has been the crux of my weight loss. Numbers do not lie and at the end of the day I can look back with reasonable certainty as to whether or not I have eaten properly or not. I try not to become fixated or compulsive but I do try to enter everything I eat into my diary. I also try to eat something nutritous at every meal and snack but an occasional treat is not out of the question!
