Great post up on The Daily Green.

In summary:
1. Throw away (or minimize) processed foods.
2. Have two meals out of the week from locally sourced produce.
3. Have one meatless meal a week.

Pretty modest proposal.

Even modest changes can go a long way. My own changes in January 2007 were:
1. Drink green tea instead of coffee.
2. Eat oatmeal instead of skipping breakfast.
3. Have salad twice a week instead of my usual lunch choices.

Results? 12% body fat (down from about 16%) and my first normal cholesterol/triglyceride levels ever in only 4 months.

What modest diet changes have worked for you?

I have 12 minimum meatless meals a week, haha (breakfast, and my lunch when I have school).

I actually counted what I put in my mouth. That was the big thing for me. I'm a grazer.

Joining a gym. I like to get my money's worth, so signing the contract was important to me. It meant I would have to go. :P

That and deciding to take the plunge and go running on my own.
