no beer, no soda, no bread, minimal dairy, no smoking, no eating 3 hours before bed, and ive started exercising. i started to drink strictly water and only non-concentrate juices.
i think the exercise will make the biggest difference. not to mention, im not always the best at making healthy food decisions (especially when im feeling particularly lazy). there is PLENTY of unhealthy vegetarian food to go around, but when im home i prefer pasta with fresh garlic and pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and squash/red peppers.
of course, none of these things were in effect this last week.
