Most diet plans do not take ethnic food into consideration when they are created. Has anyone been able to find any success on a diet of "life style change" where you can stilleat these type of foods? | I am Jamaican too. I lost 40 lbs and it was hard mainly because of the rice and flour. I had to cut my portions significantly. And I switched to whole grain brown rice. Another thing I did was cook my plantain in the oven rather than fry it on the stove.
It's still really hard at family get togethers because there is sooooo much good food! I actually gained back 10 lbs so I'm working hard to get those back off and then some.
