Rice and wheat are some of the longest known crops and grains practically in our history. Yes if you have a choice go with brown rice and whole grain breads. Meat! Clean Meat grass fed blah blah its still packed with sodium and fat. And you really dont want to know the things that are fed and put into meat these days. It does literally nothing for you. Diet is all about eating clean and reducing overall calorie intake. If you decide to overeat one day but its clean at least your putting essential vitamins in your body. What I really recommend is buying a treadmill. I use them anytime im just sitting on the couch I load it to my iPad and watch it while walking slow or fast. Also watch out for things that don't add a lot but are packed with calories like milk and cheese. Also creams or syrups in your coffee...these calories add up fast. Dont listen or pay for any diet programs its all about staying active and eating right thats it. I train like crazy finishing up my race season and getting ready for an next running season where I'm moving onto trying an ultra marathon so I run between 50 - 70 miles a week. I will tell you as I switched to vegan about a year ago and have been recovering faster, sleeping better and beating times I ran in my college years and that was 15 years ago. Vegan is not for everyone and is very hard to stick with but man does it do amazing things for your health and weight loss goals. Congats again on the 50! And cheers to the next 50!
Speaking of vegan, I'm planning on making the move at least once or twice per week for now. As it is we eat very clean - a ton of fish and organic chicken. Not really any meat, save for the occasional burger once every month or 2 with grass-fed 93/7. A lot of fruits and veggies. Tons of water. No soda or other soft drinks. No sweets, but my downfall is coffee with sugar and cream, and I LOVE bread. Even with all the clean eating I'm still not where I want to be, and I work out about 14 hours/week on average between running, CrossFit, and weights. I feel focusing more on the vegan side once or twice a week for now will give me that little extra I'm looking for.

A lot of the other comments in this thread are scary. No need to starve yourselves. Fuel your body the right way, and workout/exercise regularly - regular walking is a great start, then weights, cardio, yoga, martial arts, whatever gets you going - and you will see results. Do this for a while and it becomes essential to your well being - working out becomes something you mentally can't live without.
