    Try to avoid processed food, sugars, high glycemic carbohydrates, and foods rich in fat.

    I eat around 1200-1800 calories per day but I count what I'm eating to make sure it's

    This is my first post; I'm a lurker. :) But you asked a great question, so I figured that I would jump in. :)

    Preparation has been the key to my success (went from 193 size 12 to 134 size 2 four years ago). I buy fresh chicken breasts from Sam's Club in bulk and cook up about 15 pounds at a time. (I cook them on the stovetop, no oil; I just spray the pan, season them, sear each side, and then cover on low/medium for about 10 minutes.) Once cooled, I cut up all the chicken in bite size pieces and freeze in "snack size ziplock baggies," which holds about 4 oz. I bring a bag with me to work every day, which I add to my salads. (Either a "taco" salad, with lettuce/spinach, grape tomatoes, 1/8 C cheese, 2 T of black olives, jalapeños, and 1/2 bag of single size Doritos OR a spinach salad with blueberries, pumpkin seeds, cut up apple, and light feta cheese. No dressing).

    I have literally eaten the same thing for lunch for 4 years, and I never tire of it. People think I'm nuts, but I changed mindset to "eat to live," not "live to eat." And besides, they taste darn good!! :)

    Thank you this sounds like good advise.

    The same foods that you enjoyed eating before....just less of them.

    This. I eat all of my normal foods. Well, that and some I never ate before. I find myself being more adventurous with food since I started using MFP.
