Assuming that you want to lose weight, eating what you mentioned
above, but less, would be a good start.

Yes, that sounds quite healthy. Maybe also eat some chicken breast or
fish sometimes, instead of ground beef?

How about trying to expand your eating horizons a bit? If there's not
a health or religious reason for avoiding chicken and fish, you might
consider trying to learn to enjoy them. They are far healthier for
you than ground beef.

You can lose weight eating anything, though. It's simply a matter of
consuming fewer calories than you burn. But you will not find a "name
brand" diet that just includes ground beef. If you don't feel you can
reduce calories without some guidance, you might want to look at
Weight Watchers, which allows you to eat anything provided you keep
your total "points" within a prescribed range.

Personally, I lost 130 lbs. by tracking my caloric intake and exercise
-- no name brands or books.

If you want to change then you're going to have to change.

A good primer on Eating 101 can be found at
http://www.stumptuous.com/weights.html

I've personally found that the most important thing is to examine what
I'm eating. Track your foods at www.fitday.com and see what you're
currently eating NOW, before you change anything. See if that gives you
any insight... I bet it will.

My basic rule of thumb is to try to eat a balanced diet, i.e., get 1/3
of my macronutrients from proteins, carbs and healthy fats. Healthy
fats are the kind that come from seeds and fish, i.e., peanutbutter and
tuna fish, not cheese and beef.

If you must eat ground beef a good trick is to drain it in a colander
after cooking it and wash it off with hot water.

A lot of people can substitute turkey for ground beef. If you eat it in
patty form you might try Boca Burgers.

My experience as an overweight woman is that a diet high in carbs (most
vegetarian diets) was a very poor way to try to fuel my body. I lose
the most fat while being sated and energetic if I try to make sure my
carbs don't go above 50% of my calories.
