Do you have a food program to lose weight that has worked for you? Thanks

    Yep!

    Eat at a caloric deficit, get enough protein (1.5-2g per kg of body weight), a few essential fats (about 0.3-0.4g per kg), and the rest is made up by whatever I want (more protein and fat sometimes, but usually carbs - which take the form of anything from vegetables (more often) to icecream, pasta, cake and alcohol (less often).

    BOOM!

    Don't eat breakfast...
    (do you mean you hate traditional breakfast foods, or eating in the morning? You don't have to do either.)

    Put your stats in mfp, get a calorie goal for weight loss at a sensible, sustainable rate of loss, eat foods to meet that goal. Exercise if you want, fuel that by adding your exercise cals on to your target. Eat foods that make you feel physically and mentally healthy, that satisfy and satiate you...

    Yes! Calorie counting via this app has seen me get to goal weight almost 5 years ago and I have kept the weight off too :smile:

    Prescribed food programs have worked great to lose weight, several times.

    A variety of foods I like, combined into tasty and balanced meals, in amounts that - every day as well as over time -provides me with sufficient nutrition and calories, but also a calorie deficit, so that when I have lost the (un)desired weight, I can continue eating the same way, just with an amount of calories to keep the lower weight stable, has worked to keep the weight off, as well.

    I eat breakfast EVERY day. Eating now at 6:45am while typing this. A bowl of Kelloggs Special K cereal with 2% low fat milk and some Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt, then a hard boiled egg with hot buttered toast, and a cup of tea with no sugar.

    That's 525 calories, and 21g of my MFP recommended 99g of protein for today.

    Sometimes I would have a slice of ham instead of the boiled egg, other times bacon but that's not often.

    Fat should be about double that, as a minimum

    Egg, turkey bacon, light English muffin...enough protein to hold me until lunch, but sometimes I have a snack (string cheese or fruit) before lunch.

    REALLY?
    I am a 90kg woman.
    So you suggest I eat around 180gm of protein daily?
    I consume half that for good health.

    Consuming a well balanced diet of foods you enjoy, while staying in daily caloric allowance is the best way to stick to what is a
    FOREVER COMMITMENT!
    There is no BAD FOOD...
    So enjoy your food take this journey a day at a time.
