I'd have cut out the booze, and cut way back on the coffee. Maybe only
11 cups, but they'd have to be 8oz cups, not those chintzy 6oz jobs.

Alot of stuff you enjoy is had to give up, but for the better. for me,
no more 1/2 lb hershey bars (1 a night) No more big bag of chips, or
doritos, or corn curls ( from top to the last crumb), cutting out on
salt. less beef and pork, and more fish. Eat more breakfast and less
supper.

But I ain't giving up coffee!

Don't forget chicken! But the best part, the skin, has got to go.

Rotisserie chickens, with a lot of celery and onions, make some great
soup, into which you can throw some brown rice.
