What nutrition plan works for you?

I began the atkins diet a while back and lost 30 lbs. I got a bit cozy and didn't follow it as well until last year when I lost another 20 lbs. However, I gained that 20 back over the holiday up until now. Mainly what I did was cut pasta, bread, and potatoes.. along with sugar soda.. potatoes are my weakness:-( I saw that someone mentioned bloating.. I do get bloated but it's by eating bread and sometimes potatoes. I walk around looking like I have a balloon up my shirt or something. And the weird thing is it always happens at lunch.

CICO/ macro monitoring. I don't stress myself too bad about my macros; I just try really hard to hit my protein goal every day, and THEN some on days I lift. I love CICO! It lets me live my life. I log food and forget about it. Today I was able to have half a chocolate crepe and a slice of pizza hut cheese pizza and it all fit in my calories with some to spare for my nightly special K!

I basically follow the Gov standard dietary guidelines while staying within my calorie limit. I find if I make food choices that meet or exceed the recommend health guidelines, I feel great and the weight comes off. Doesn't require me to eliminate anything, but it does drastically reduce the things that aren't good for me and moderate the items that need moderating.

I am on Paleo / Keto and I love it more and more each day.

at least 50% of most of my meals are fresh produce. The rest I don't sweat too much, I don't eat food I don't like and I count my calories. My happy macros seem to be 50 carbs, 25 protein, 25 fat. 5% +- on carbs and protein. As I never restricted calories too much I feel I am getting enough protein

Anything under 45% carbs makes me cranky, and anything under 25 protein I tend to need more calories to feel full. But honestly, I don't follow macros.

The one where I eat pretty well for the most part and have pizza on Fridays and beers on Saturday.

I eat whatever I want within my calorie goals - I think if I had to label myself, it would be flexitarian - I eat animal products, and sometimes I eat vegetarian. I appreciate all kinds of food and cant imagine eliminating anything, especially if I liked it, unless it was for medical reasons.

It's such an evolution! I was a former junk-food junkie, standard american diet person. First I stopped eating processed food and junk, then moved to strict Paleo for almost 3 years and ditched dairy and grains. I tried LCHF and added back dairy, but that didn't work well for me physically or athletically. In the search for clean meat I even turned to hunting. I eventually transitioned to vegan. It's a lot easier that it was even 5-10 years ago. I also love to cook, so I don't lack for variety.
