I want them to be as natural as breathing: cooking and eating plant foods without fat; moving my body in reasonable ways; minimizing salt and sugar (I don't eliminate them, but they're not a huge problem for me); etc.

You seem to eat pretty healthy. What has been your motivation for eating so well? Has posting on Mcdougall's discussion board helped with that?

I think it will just take a bit of time and experimentation for both of us to find the sweet spot for maintaining & it seems like you have a good plan. BTW, pretzels are also one of my "can't eat" foods, even the reasonable compliant ones - I have a really hard time stopping once I start and I am generally a volume eater, so I could probably down half a bag in one sitting!
Here's to a great week of banishing the SNACK Monster!
