I dropped over 70 pounds mostly by eliminating carbs (bread especially) and substituting lots (and lots) of vegetables. If anything, I increase my fat intake.

I've been an advocate of low, or at least "lower" carbs for a while, but will still indulge in tacos on occasion. I've been trying something new lately by adding whey protein alongside most meals. It's been very mild on my digestion - always a good thing - and it really helps reduce the cravings for other stuff.

I am gonna define the singularity to have occurred when we know once and for all which one is more healthy: a cheeseburger or a bag of potato chips.
