It turned out that if you look at the actual grams of each...

I was pretty much spot on with 1/3 protein, 1/3 fat, and 1/3 carbohydrates. Although I thought I would be consuming fewer carbs than 1/3 of my diet, that's about where it fell out...and it was relatively consistent throughout my diet period.

It takes a couple weeks away from the ice cream and candy before you no longer desire it. Once I was "on program," I really didn't feel like I was depriving myself. Guess that's why I felt like I could sustain it indefinitely.
