Your case sounds like a typical one of a busy but sedentary lifestyle. In such cases, it is always possible to lose weight in a healthy fashion, despite what you eat or don't. The only thing is that you will have to work hard at it.
One of the things you must do is cut back on your intake of red meat. Opt for chicken whenever possible. This way, you have fewer calories going into your system, with more amounts of protein and nutrition as compared to fat.
If you have a drink, try to make it a diet one. These are low on sugar, which is basically nothing but empty calories. They also contain less caffeine, which will add to your good health. Whenever possible, try to opt for a juice or a milk based drink such as a bottled smoothie or a yogurt. If you can, have water instead - it's the best solution.
Try to eat a salad with every meal. It may not always be possible, but if you ask, you'll know that a lot of places do carry it. Always keep your truck stocked with good health food. This way, if you have a slight hankering, you won't have to stop and eat more than you planned to in the first place. The best things to keep at hand are apples. They are convenient, cheap and easy to eat and throw as well. Also keep a large box or bag of almonds at hand. This is a good snack - it fills you up and isn't very high on calories either. Keep bottled water with you at all times. This way, you will automatically drink less of sodas. These simple and small changes will go a long way in helping you to not only lose weight but stay healthy as well.
