<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rideandrepair, post: 11587580, member: 168603&quot;]I gained 20 lbs the first month, going from LTL to OTR. Usually lose 20 lbs. after after being off the Truck and staying busy around the house. I’ve since added another 20 over the years. I need&nbsp; to lose 40 lbs. Harder to do the older I get.&nbsp; All I know is to limit the amount of food eaten. I get hungry as soon as I get in the Truck, Lol. I’ve gotten into the habit of rewarding myself with a good meal, bad habit. I’m trying healthier snacks. Also try to limit myself to only 1 meal a day.&nbsp; About all you can do on the road is eat and sleep. Can’t drink, can’t smoke dope. Not that I want to, I don’t do either, just how my mind works. Food is my reward. Like a Dog, Lol.&nbsp; Good thing I get out every 3-4 hrs. walk around a bit. First thing to do is cut the carbs, don’t worry you’ll still get plenty for energy. Average American diet has way too many carbs in it. And cut out anything with high fructose corn syrup. It’s in a lot of things, that it shouldn’t be. The only reason it’s in there is to get you to crave more product. We’re often called a Consumer Society. Consumerism has gone wild. More more more. It’s a mindset reinforced by&nbsp; constant advertising. Fast cheap ready to eat food is everywhere. It’s a fairly recent change in how we eat. When I was a kid they built a McDonald’s nearby. There wasn’t another fast food place for miles away. This was in a major city. I recall people’s comments. That’s not real food! Don’t eat it more than once a week. It’s not healthy. They were right. Anything processed has garbage in it that we don’t need. High in sugar ( carbs) salt, preservatives. Gets our metabolism all out of whack. Storing 3x the carbs used is the main culprit. I’m guilty. Love the carbs. Bread, pasta, rice. Sugar in its pure white refined form is chemically close to Cocaine. Works the same way on the brain, in a much more subtle way. Compound carbs break down slower, and have less chance of being stored. Eating less, better food, and a little bit of walking,&nbsp; done every day, will pay off. Takes time. Just like it took time to gain the weight. 1 lb. per week = 52 lbs. per yr. Easier said than done, but realistic.&nbsp; Good Luck. You’re not alone.
