An experiment of one

What I used to eat:

• quarter pounders with cheese
• other kinds of hamburgers
  
• French fries
• Combos
• full fat potato and/or corn chips
• fried or grilled chicken
• weight: 260 (height: 6 feet)
• typical blood pressure: 140/95
• BMI: 35.3 ("severely obese" according to the BMI calculator at http://www.bariatricedge.com)

What I eat nowadays:

• steel cut oats (.5 cup for breakfast)
• frozen fruit (berries, melon, mango, peaches, grapes, pineapple)
• frozen vegetables (carrots, snap peas, brocolli, asparagus, etc.)
• fresh fruit: grapes, apples (in season), melon (in season), citrus, etc.
• fresh vegetables: kale, spinach, sugar snap or snow peas, carrots, edamame (green soybeans), cherry tomatos
  
• dried fruit: apricots, raisins, etc.
  
• boiled potatos (with ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, yum!)
• beans
• Subway veggie sandwiches
• weight: 195
• typical blood pressure: 109/70
• BMI: 26.4 ("slightly overweight" according to http://www.bariatricedge.com)

I'm still hoping to get my weight down to around 184, which would give me a BMI of 25 ("healthy" according to http://www.bariatricedge.com).
