Portion control is the single most important factor. But I think the types of food you need to eat to lose weight varies from person to person; everybody is different. I've cut way back on the processed carbs and for the first time in a long time, I can see a difference around the waistline. I haven't had any bread, pasta, potatoes, or rice in 7 weeks -- with the exception of last weekend when I did have a bit of mashed potatoes with my dinner. It was Father's Day and also my dad's birthday so my mom had made a special dinner.
I find that eating more protein makes me feel more satisified, since it takes longer to digest protein than carbohydrates. Also, not eating any bread or potatoes automatically cuts butter consumption to virtually nothing, so there's a big reduction in fat right there.

All good advice. Prior to fire school, I watched what I ate and cut down on portions to get into shape and it worked like a charm. I have gone back to my evil ways in the past year and it has translated into 15 lbs. Shaving my head has motivated me to get back into the groove. The good news is I feel like a new person and will keep it up. I will concentrate on complex carbs and protein and keep away from the refined stuff. I consider it an investment for the future and worth it. I will keep you posted and post pictures as I get back to my fighting weight.

I was pretty much in the same situation. I shaved my head and realized I still wasn't satisfied with my appearance and realized that I needed to get into better shape to make the whole look work for me, so indirectly, going sly has made me a healthier person.
Good luck with the fitness regimen!!

I'm pleased to say that I have lost 4 lbs over the past month. Have been hitting the gym about 5 times a week and feel great. Love going to the gym right after I shave my head in the morning; sort of motivates me :x!.

Keep at it man. I'm right with ya, at 200, trying to get down to about 180. I work out basically the same as you, except I train in MMA and Brazilian Jui Jitsu in replacement of running and biking. I like to keep my meals like that of a caveman's- meat, fruit, and veggies are my staples, along with some nuts like almonds. Fiber is your best friends. So far it's helped me loose 55lbs. Keep us posted man. O0
