    We all know how we should do the weight loss thing, but I'm going to answer your question the way it was asked: This is the most effective weight loss I've ever had in my life and I felt great - I went to one of the many "diet centers" that were popular in the 80s and 90s. I was put on a diet of 500-700 calories a day. I worked my way up to what they wanted me - 1400 calories. Man did I look good. BUT.....here I am

    Creating an average weekly calorie deficit through exercise and moderate eating. And I sustain this "lifestyle" by NOT worrying about:
    1. Eating "clean".
    2. Starvation mode.
    3. Meal timing and frequency.

    I don't cut out foods; I just have them in moderation. Eating less and moving more really has done it for me. That being said, eating less has been a bit of a challenge. Instead of eating breakfast in a bowl, I eat it in a coffee cup. I eat one sandwich for lunch instead of two, with yogurt or fruit instead of chips.

    I'm studying to be an accountant. The way I see it, you have a finite amount of assets, and you want to use them in the best way possible. If I have 2,000 calories a day (actually 2,100 because I'm nursing but still trying to eat at a slight deficit), I want to spend them in the best way possible. I don't look at something and say "oh noes! It's 500 calories!" If it's dinner and it's good quality stuff, whatever. By contrast, I don't say, "Oh well, it's only 100 calories." I got into that trap with soda; a can of Mt. Dew is only 170 calories--but that's a lot of wasted, empty calories to be consuming on a regular basis. I used to drink 5 of those a day.

    Mind set and calorie counting. It was getting started, rarely going over my daily calorie limit and absolutely NEVER going over my weekly calorie limit.

    This. Although my "heavy" isn't as heavy as I'd like, but I do the best I can at home with dumbbells. But the TDEE method has been the best for dropping the fat. :drinker:
