    Cutting added sugar virtually out of my diet and not listening to the "high post count" CLIQUE on the forums here, but following the advice of FULLY QUALIFIED Nutritionists and Dieticians.

    There is a difference between a fully qualified nutritionist=/= fully qualified dietitian. One has more education than the other.

    Tell me what has been successful for you on your weight loss journey!!

    This is individual opinion. If something works for someone, good for them. Unless something is known to be blatantly unhealthy(anorexia, bulimia, eating 400 calories a day, etc.) is there a need to challenge it? I think that not eating past a certain time is ridiculous. But if it helps someone stick to their calorie goal, more power to them. It works for them. That's the whole point of the thread, right?

    :pB) Oh My...Someone with some common sense!:)

    Thank you. I keep looking at the original question, seeing you and your and then scratching my head. It didn't ask for the #1 only secret to weight loss. It asked for each individual's experience.

    consistency in diet, regular exercise, patience, and discipline.

    I personally found setting nutritional goals and fitness goals were more beneficial than actual weight loss goals. I started out trying to reverse a lot of bad blood work and trying to get off and avoid some medications (mission accomplished)...so my focus was really on nutrition and eating to improve my health and regular exercise for health...losing 40 Lbs was a nice bi-product of living a more healthful lifestyle.

    Well, all you did is express how much you disapprove of the philosophy. That's your opinion and fortunately it bears no weight. This could be a productive conversation, if people were generally interested in my original answer, but it has been made into a boring discussion with a lot bullying and badgering by many of the usual suspects. Typical. Bye.

    the bullying train is never late, and that is just a fall back because you don't want to answer questions about paleo.

    sorry but disagreeing with your premise about paleo is not "bullying or bashing". I find it ironic that you are complaining about "badgering" when you were attempting to name call people that called you on paleo being a "secret for weight loss"...

    When you asked a member a question they provided you a direct answer; however, you were asked several times for a list of foods that you ate when doing Paleo and refused to answer....

    I was asked to provide a list, randomly and in a mocking tone. The list of foods one can eat on a Paleo/primal/ancestral/Weston A Price diet like mine is crazy long. It's more about food quality, source, and what one is omitting from their menu. I think feeling better helps with weight loss because you can overcome the fatigue that inhibits activity. So, a deficit is great and a deficit while feeling vibrant is even better!

    how do you know it was mocking? You can read into that based on a typed response?

    oh, and no one wanted a complete list, just a sample, so feel free to provide it....

    Yes, and I've been on the forums enough to know where those types of demands lead: jokes and gifs about cauliflower and further attempts to make the declared paleo person look foolish. It is not helpful. You need to work on your delivery; if your intention is to understand more and not just to make jokes.

    funny, you keep complaining about bashing, but the only one bashing is you with your passive aggressive attempts (which are very weak by the way) at name calling.

    so again, where is that temporary list of Paleo foods? I just want to see what paleo specific regional diet you are following...

    If you want to see non-paleo food items go check out their diary yesterday. Unless this person thinks those things are Paleo????

    Paleo can be a way to reach a caloric deficit, the caloric deficit is the "secret" to weight loss. Paleo would be a good answer if the OP asked for options of achieving a caloric deficit... then again almost anything would qualify if you counted calories and stayed under maintenance.

    I lost significant weight before I ever counted a calorie by choosing the the Paleo WOE. So you can "lol" away until your food scale breaks.

    you mean you restricted a bunch of "bad" foods and replaced them with lower calorie ones?

    Paleo had nothing to do with it…

    So I am curious what did you Paleo diet consist of? Raw meat, grubs, etc?

    Careful he ate only other humans for 6 months at the start.

    yeah and then he joined a calorie counting site.

    My diary is open and I usually have a pretty good deficit without much planning or effort. Don't assume you know why people joined the site. I joined and am sticking with it because I like the graphs, data, community and blog posts.

    Mine is open too...and I have a pretty good deficit without much planning or effort as well....and I eat all the foodz...

    Lack of effort/planning is not paleo...it's called knowing your body, your food and what you like. BTW anyone new to Paleo would not agree...it's hard to know what you can and can't eat as the goal posts are always moving....if you can point me in the direction of a definitive paleo food list I would appreciate it. Not joking as I am always up for extra education.

    idk, but this is not bullying... she was attacked for honestly asking this question. She even said she was not joking and wanted extra education..
    I was following along hoping for a true answer, but they returned with insults.

    Like I said, I just want to see some of these Paleolithc foods and what region of the world they are from...as we all know, Paleolithic foods were regionally specific. So Paleo man from northern Europe would not of consumed the same foods as say Paleo man from northern Africa....

It is not helpful. You need to work on your delivery; if your intention is to understand more and not just to make jokes.

    funny, you keep complaining about bashing, but the only one bashing is you with your passive aggressive attempts (which are very weak by the way) at name calling.

    so again, where is that temporary list of Paleo foods? I just want to see what paleo specific regional diet you are following...

    If you want to see non-paleo food items go check out their diary yesterday. Unless this person thinks those things are Paleo????

    Paleo can be a way to reach a caloric deficit, the caloric deficit is the "secret" to weight loss. Paleo would be a good answer if the OP asked for options of achieving a caloric deficit... then again almost anything would qualify if you counted calories and stayed under maintenance.

    Like I said, I just want to see some of these Paleolithc foods and what region of the world they are from...as we all know, Paleolithic foods were regionally specific. So Paleo man from northern Europe would not of consumed the same foods as say Paleo man from northern Africa....

    For the number of times you've demanded a food list, you could have easily googled and got the information for yourself. That makes it glaringly obvious to everyone here that you don't really want to know the information, rather you just want to badger someone.

    Well, all you did is express how much you disapprove of the philosophy. That's your opinion and fortunately it bears no weight. This could be a productive conversation, if people were generally interested in my original answer, but it has been made into a boring discussion with a lot bullying and badgering by many of the usual suspects. Typical. Bye.

    the bullying train is never late, and that is just a fall back because you don't want to answer questions about paleo.

    sorry but disagreeing with your premise about paleo is not "bullying or bashing". I find it ironic that you are complaining about "badgering" when you were attempting to name call people that called you on paleo being a "secret for weight loss"...

    When you asked a member a question they provided you a direct answer; however, you were asked several times for a list of foods that you ate when doing Paleo and refused to answer....

    I was asked to provide a list, randomly and in a mocking tone. The list of foods one can eat on a Paleo/primal/ancestral/Weston A Price diet like mine is crazy long. It's more about food quality, source, and what one is omitting from their menu. I think feeling better helps with weight loss because you can overcome the fatigue that inhibits activity. So, a deficit is great and a deficit while feeling vibrant is even better!

    how do you know it was mocking? You can read into that based on a typed response?

    actually, I cannot Google a list because there are about 5000 different versions of Paleo.

    I asked as well and instead you accused me of bashing and all sorts of things.

    But let's be frank....you are not eating Paleo/primal/ancestral etc.

    There are many things below that counter what you have logged...hence our issue with Paleo/restricting foods.
    From the Weston Price Foundation page
    Eat whole, natural foods.
    Eat only foods that will spoil, but eat them before they do.
    Eat naturally-raised meat including fish, seafood, poultry, beef, lamb, game, organ meats and eggs.
    Eat whole, naturally-produced milk products from pasture-fed cows, preferably raw and/or fermented, such as whole yogurt, cultured butter, whole cheeses and fresh and sour cream.
    Use only traditional fats and oils including butter and other animal fats, extra virgin olive oil, expeller expressed sesame and flax oil and the tropical oils—coconut and palm.
    Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably organic, in salads and soups, or lightly steamed.
    Use whole grains and nuts that have been prepared by soaking, sprouting or sour leavening to neutralize phytic acid and other anti-nutrients.
    Include enzyme-enhanced lacto-fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages and condiments in your diet on a regular basis.
    Prepare homemade meat stocks from the bones of chicken, beef, lamb or fish and use liberally in soups and sauces.
    Use herb teas and coffee substitutes in moderation.
    Use filtered water for cooking and drinking.
    Use unrefined Celtic sea salt and a variety of herbs and spices for food interest and appetite stimulation.
    Make your own salad dressing using raw vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and expeller expressed flax oil.
    Use natural sweeteners in moderation, such as raw honey, maple syrup, dehydrated cane sugar juice and green stevia powder.
    Use only unpasteurized wine or beer in strict moderation with meals.
    Cook only in stainless steel, cast iron, glass or good quality enamel.
    Use only natural supplements.
    Get plenty of sleep, exercise and natural light.
    Think positive thoughts and minimize stress.
    Practice forgiveness.
