    But the 70 hour rule limits us to 8 hours a day of working and 16 hours of free time to eat and excercise.

    That equates to 4 hours sleep and 12 hours a day of parading lot lizards through the cab and what not,,,or so is was in my day. We did not have video games or internet. I had so much fun. :)

    Get a crock pot or other heating device you can strap down, fill full of rice ,lintels, beans, sorgum, millet, what have you. It's a beautiful thing. I'm not a vegan by any stretch but I've had a few friends who were.

    I really wish the truck stops would have more low carb options. Like broiled fish and pre-made tuna with mayo or just cooked burger patties. The only way to adhere to a strict diet, be it Atkins or vegan, while OTR is to stock up before hitting the road. Stopping at Wal-Mart is an option but I am boycotting them so it's not for me.

    Search "cinnamon health benefits"


    Also you can buy clean peanut butter.
    Honey for the sweet tooth.

    Couple easy steps to lose weight.
    Drink a lot of water.
    Cut down on the carbohydrates/bread.
    Don't drink or eat sugars or fructose corn syrup.
    Good luck with the healthy eating.

    I don't think quitting coffee for tea is beneficial. Dang,,one thing at a time! No sugar or cream in you coffee/tea. You know that artificial powdered coffee whitener can cause impotence. You betcha!
    Black coffee or tea.
    Someone posted about losing weight. There is slimming tea and it works but you might as well bring a few volumes of National Geographic into the porcelain alter if you consume that stuff. It is generally used to purge folks ahead of medical procedure.
    You got some reading to do..good luck

    Vegetarian is ok. At least you can still eat chicken and fish. Just not “meat”.

    Spicy chicken tenders are still chicken.

    Black coffee is actually healthy for you. No reason to give it up.
