    I know I would like to detox, get all the fast-food and sugar out of my system.
    unless you are a drug addict, you do not need to detox. that is what our kidneys do.

    Do I log after eating or plan ahead?
    everyone does it a bit different. I log ahead, but then will adjust the numbers based on what i actually ate (quantity or item)

    Should I try different diets or just eat less?
    all diets are a way of reducing calories. I eat whatever I want, if i can fit in in my calories. including 6 oreos last night.

    Can I ignore Keto and low carb and enjoy carbs in moderation.
    you can take my carbs from my cold dead hands. Half my macros are carbs.

    Palm-size portion meat, double size vegetables. Old school?
    it works but a food scale works better

    Small meals 5 x a day or 3 meals?
    whatever you want

    Liquid meals?
    I like to EAT my food

    Is diet coke still ok?
    I've lost 130 pounds and live off diet coke

    Is low fat still in? My arteries could use a break.
    its just another way of reducing calories

    I always wanted to try the Mediterranean diet.
    go for it if you want to

    Do I need a kitchen scale?
    absolutely

    ^^^ All of this!

    I settled on the Mediterranean diet. My new motto for the future: "Eat half, walk double".
    (Even though it's just chair exercise at the moment, long way to go till walking)

    Bought a kitchen scale. I don't like it, the portions look pitiful and very small. 😢

    No sugar and I still live? 😂

    11 pounds down! Can you believe it?👀💕😍

    Woot Woot! Way to go! :)

    Congrats!

    You might enjoy the volume eaters thread here, with some tips and ideas for making larger meals with fewer cals. For me, it's mainly just eating lots of veg as well as lean meat (lots of fish) as the basis for many meals.
