I've been having a great deal of difficulty lowering my sugar intake, and I have the horrible habit of eating downtown where everything is very expensive. I don't eat breakfast until late, rather than shortly after I awake, and frequently I arrive home without appetite when the efforts of my wife go to waste. We both work and have a kid to think of, and our grocery bills are insane, but not nearly as insane as the amount of money we spend dining. Everything we eat comes from boxes and cans, and I know I'm addicted to junk food, mostly starch and sugar. Since neither of us has much time for cooking, I'm home around 7 PM due to my commute, and she's home around 6 PM after picking up our son from work. I spend all day sitting in my commute and sitting in my work chair, I find I'm constantly lethargic and our family have a mere hour to be together and I never have the energy to do much outside, probably due to the extra 40 pounds I'm carting around.
I'd like to eat lighter and healthier, start taking lunches to work (since there are no vegetarian choices downtown) and just not consume so much crap. I haven't got the slightest idea how to get there from here.
I'm also aware of the moral question surrounding eating meat, though I admit that I don't feel strongly about it, I am willing to eliminate the vast majority of meat for vegetables, though I have no compunction about eating dairy, fish and eggs. I need a lot of protien, because when I don't eat it, I get the shakes. I was hoping there are some people among us knowledgeble so I can get some resources on how to figure this out. Can anyone help me get started? What websites are there? I don't want to become French fry vegetarian.
