I only eat fast food twice a year, and rarely eat processed meats period. Use all my leftover smoked meats for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.
Haven't eaten commercially cooked french fries in over 6 months.
This gives me plenty of headroom for great BBQ. FWIW, most of my rubs, sauces, and side dishes are prepared with zero to very little sodium content.
I've lost 105 lbs in the last 7 years, from 285 to 178. It wasn't just changing my diet though, I ride a bicycle over 150 miles a week, push some light free weights, and use a total gym 1000 occasionally.
The way my body burns through calories at this point, I really don't have to worry much. Other than buying a new expensive wardrobe, since my 40+" jeans won't handle being altered down to 34".
Basically, the bottom line is I stopped eating stuff I don't thoroughly enjoy. If I'm eating something now, and it doesn't taste good, I stop eating. In the past, I'd just power through it and eat the (crap) anyways.
