I know we have talked about this but diets

Eat stuff that occurs in nature and you'll be okay.

I think I probably follow Allisons advice mostly. I do tuna a lot and I like my 'poor mans spanish rice'. I usually do about 1 cup of rice mixed with whatever I have lying around the house from full on chicken to lunch meat to tuna and put that in the rice after its cooked. I finish it off with good chunky salsa, some salt, pepper and a bit of onion powder mix it all up and go at it. You can heat it up pretty easy. I'm fairly unique though as I can eat the same thing over and over and not be bothered by it.

I do have to second the weight lifting. I'm lifting 4 times a week and have dropped about 10 to 15 pounds from this winter. If you don't wanna go to the gym for hours at a time do body weight stuff at home. Air squats, push-ups (flat, incline and decline), chair dips, pull-ups, crunches. All of these will help, do as many as you can and then move to the next exercise. Do one circuit in the beginning and then a second. Just my take on it all....of course I'm down to riding only once a week due to work and family and time in the gym but right now I'm pretty happy and I'm hoping that in November the work-outs will really shine through at the first Southridge race!

my 2cent, My dietician said, as a rule of thumb: stay on the perimiter when you go inside the grocery store, if you have to go in between the isles, you're tapping into perservatives and chemicals. Foods are suppose to spoil and eaten fresh daily. For something quick and simple, how about an all assortment of fruits like grapes, watermellon, cantelope, pineapple, apples, pears. etc.. since you mentioned you don't like vegetables
