Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 32: Feeling Hopeful

I have to say, that if you're really serious about getting down from 247, portion control is good, but what you eat is at least just as important as how much.
You're not going to get very far eating burgers, fries, chorizo, cheese and other fat soaked foods. Cut back on meat, dairy and fast burning carbs like refined sugar and white flour, crank up the exercise, and you'll really see results.
We're rooting for you.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 32: Feeling Hopeful

One thing I know 100% about dieting is that the real fight is in trying to wrest control of your own brain.

Sounds like you're gonna manage it. Keep up the good fight, Ed!

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 32: Feeling Hopeful

Hang in there, Ed! Portion control really is the toughest part for me! I've been working on that. This month, I'm trying to try to eat more fresh, local produce and way less meat. So far, I'm already down a couple of pounds!

i think that portion control really is the absolute hardest part of losing weight. i like exercising, and that generally keeps me at a steady weight, but over the last year I gained a few pounds, probably my metabolism slowing down a little, and i've been trying to lose three pounds. but portion control is just SO difficult when you go out to eat! i have kind of a food obsession as well, so i often keep eating even when i realize that i'm not hungry anymore. especially if you're dropping a few bucks on the meal, i wind up feeling like i need to get my money's worth! and leftovers just aren't the same. so good job on this ed! keep up the good work.

I think its impossible to pick the "best pizza". There are great pizza restaurants everywhere in the world. Be sure to check out the pizza scene in Rhode Island. Check out these two sites that I personally found VERY interesting.

We have a pizza war doing on in our small town in South Pasadena, California. A little old italian guy started a new york pizzaria and it was awesome- being from Chicago and living in Boston for awhile, I was missing the taste out here in SoCal. His partner sold the building out from under him and he retired. Then his daughters started a place about a block from the original. The new spot is Nonna's-- it is awesome!!!!!!!! If you're ever in our neck of the woods, check it out. The partner of the old guy sued his daughters and they can't advertise or deliver locally until 2009- then it's look out Mamma's, Nonna is going to kick your butt!

Bofinger is at the very eastern limit of the 4e, by Place Bastille. Second the motion on Pre Catalan, It is superb anytime, but especially in the warmer months when you can eat outdoors. It's in the Bois de Boulogne.

Chris Bianco will never make a clam pie unless an expanse of the desert opens up near his home where he can harvest them himself. Otherwise, we're stuck with his Sonny Boy and Wiseguy. I'll find a way to deal.

Those I know who have dined at Mozza come away changed. Pizza, the usual stuff anyway, is now ruined for them because nobody does it like Mozza.

Sadly, we can't ever seem to get in there at times when it works for us. I need to make a reservation about two months in advance and hope for the best!

The LA Times reviewed it today (1/31/07). Sounds great. It says you have to make a reservation weeks in advance, but that's before this review. I want to try it, but I'll probably have to wait a while. You can read about it here:
