Kommo - My favorite foods on a normal scale would not fill me up. While milk. Sour cream. Sandwiches loaded with mayo and cheese. I have a flare for dairy it seems. I have maybe 1 cup of whole milk occasionally now but I'm better off leaving the other stuff alone. It's really not that restrictive it's just getting the habits in place. What is "healthy people"? Low fat yogurt is fine. Nuts are fine. Warm lemon water in the morning. Lean protein and greens. What about that is complicated? Other people who have been at this long time maybe share your food tracking with me to get an idea of what you are doing differently that would be better for me to integrate in the long run. Berry smoothies are good. I'm a creature of habit. I dont like complicated or excessive prep times. Single full time working mom here. Why knock something that someone took the time to plan and lay it out? Looking for suggestions. Jordan was very helpful, thank you.
you don't need excessive prep times to lose weight, you just need to eat less ...

Curious to know why you're looking to suggestions on things you should be doing differently?2

Just because the diet changes came from his website people immediately think they aren't worth looking at. Interesting. I sit at a computer and research all day. It's a popularity thing I guess.2

My son and I eat completely different so food prep and meals are totally different aside from some tilapia and quinoa which he doesn't seem to mind.0

I sit at a computer all day too. I'm not a big fan of following a meal plan so I plan my own, but if this is working out for you I don't see any reason to change tbh4 -

It's not a popularity thing at all, it's that Oz is historically a very poor choice for accurate information on weight loss or nutrition.
What kind of changes are you wanting to make?

Mrsnatty - want to know what other people are doing that works and sustainable. MFP I've known about since a girlfriend had bypass surgery but my goals are attainable with persistence. Not to mention being single and on the market!2

As others have said, you increase carbs without increasing overall calories by reducing your consumption of fat or protein. Carbs and protein both have 4 calories per gram, fat is 9 calories per gram.
Good sources of carbs include starchy and sweeter vegetables (winter squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, carrots, peas), beans, lentils, and fruit. You could also explore other grains, such as millet, oats, quinoa, or buckwheat.
The value of carbs is that they provide a good source of fuel for your brain and muscles. They are particularly valuable if you engage in regular exercise.2 -

most of the long term losers I've noticed here have a few things in common:
- they log every thing, every day
- they don't see food as 'good' or 'bad'; 'healthy' or 'unhealthy'
- they have realistic goals
That's pretty much it! Eat how you wish based on your goals

I can't find whole millet around me but i did find ground millet at a Chinese market. I'm a big fan of sweet potatoes with skin and nothing added. Squash and carrots are cool. Like quinoa too. Good to know on the exercise part as I have upped that once I got my nutrition and portion stuff under control. Also like beans and lentils. Will work on making them more regular part of planning.0

Don't even know freelee. Dr oz and hungry girl stuff comes from my mom bc she watches tv and I dont but some of the basic principles they have aren't completely misguided. What comes wrong of it is when people think its going to be their get skinny and healthy quick scheme just like get rich quick. That *kitten* simply dont exist. It's dedication and long term hard work to achieve the goals.2 -
Some of the steam bag veggies that i eat have the barcode and thdn I can adjust the serving because I usually just eat the whole bag with the protein. So sounds like I need to cut the veggie to 1 portion (eck more weighing and measuring lol) And adding the carb. Got it!1

If it's working for you and you are using it to get food recommendations while tracking with MFP, why change it?
Dr. Oz is pretty terrible but it sounds like you're just using this for food recommendations. Unless you are eating less than 1200 calories?3
