Full story: Asheville Citizen-Times

Inside the Reid home, a lone box of Little Debbie cakes is shoved inside a kitchen cabinet next to the stove, resting atop a neatly stacked row of baking sheets.

The key to any weightloss program is to take it slow and not try to starve yourself.Don't hope for fast results.These newfangled diets aren't worth a crap.You lose weight but gain it back plus.

Bravo to this gentlemen. Many of the health problems we face as we get older are "self-inflicted." But it doesn't have to be that way, with diet and exercise the key. I'm often told that I'm "lucky" to be slender, but luck has little to do with it. I carefully watch what I eat, avoid junk foods, and run or walk everyday. For me it is not about the longevity of my life as much as the quality of it.

Most people are going to be going on the Democrat diet if they are not on it already. Thats when they tax eveverything, raise taxes on everything, cause prices to sky rocket oneverything so you cannot afford to eat.

Good to see this man ditch the excess pounds. Once a man gets off the traditional southern diet he will likely lose the weight and live longer to boot.

If you ditch the southern diet early enough, or avoid it altogether, you'll enjoy a healthy lifestyle and maintain your dental health at well.

I'm not sure why southern men eat so poorly, have jacked up grills for teeth, and don't wear any belts with their tight fitting jeans.

It is extremely difficult to eat this way alone when you have a family. I am encouraged to see them enjoying these meals together. Although the focus was on him, I feel she is probably benefiting from the efforts as well.

What did he eat each day?
I try to keep my diet simple and consistent. It is based on eating less fat and more fruits and vegetables. This works for me:
For breakfast I have Fiber One cereal with skim milk and a banana. When I want a change, I subsitute oatmeal for the Fiber One.
When I go to work I bring three pieces of fruit for snacks, typically a banana, a pear and an orange. If I didn't bring them, I wouldn't think of fruit, but once you get in the habit, they taste wonderful and lift your energy whenever it's dragging.
For lunch I usually have a can of Progresso Soup, which I find very filling and satisfying. If I want something sweet afterward, I will have nonfat pudding. When I want a change from the soup, I bring a couple of sandwiches made with low-fat bread, a less-fat luncheon meat, and mustard or non-fat mayonnaise (Duke's is pretty palatable).
For supper my wife and I often find a low-fat recipe in cookbooks or on the internet. We try lots of slow-cooker recipes typically involving chicken and vegetables or stir-fry recipes that are very tasty. And we grill fish at least once a week. We usually have leftovers which can make a lunch or a supper when we don't feel like cooking.
When we go out, we often go to Chick Filat for their chargrilled chicken or we go to J&S cafeteria and pick from their healthier selections. Another favorite is Boston Market for their rotisserie chicken (get the white meat) and steamed vegetables, green beans, etc. Of course many restaurants also offer lower fat entrees.
The key I have found is to avoid butter, cheese, ice cream and other fats. They are not only fattening but addictive, at least for me. When you avoid or drastically minimize these items in your diet, fruits and salads and vegetables taste good to you.
Like anyone trying to change their habits, I sometimes have relapses. This typically happens when I change my routine or go to a social setting where eating healthy just isn't feasible. I try to limit this to one meal or one day and intensify my efforts the next day.
I hope this helps!
