    I personally like Trim Healthy Mama. It's so much easier than counting every calorie and the recipes are amazing! :wink:

    Sounds like low carb to me. I eat in a similar fashion and have been successful with it. However, the whole "this food goes with that for weight loss" thing is total BS. I pair based on how it tastes together.

    I followed this diet to a T for a few months. I stopped because if I didn't eat every 3-4 hrs (an important part of THM) I got light headed and ragey. I'm a nurse, so a lot of times I can't eat on a schedule. Also I got tired of being worried about what I could eat when I went out. And for some reason I was always. Very. Contstipated. Don't get me wrong, I've seen several people have great success with THM. It just wasn't for me. Now I'm doing the basic "move more/eat less" thing and its working great for me.
  • I love THM! I at am the lowest weight I've been in over 20 years, and I'd tried it all except for surgery. THM is about balance, and although some meals are low carb, they do encourage healthy carbs when your meals are low in fat. I've lost 105 lbs from my highest weight. My Dr is tickled. No more meds, and my bloodwork is amazing. Never thought I'd be happy to weigh and have bloodwork done at the Drs office. Lol. Best thing is I've been following for over a year now, and can do this for life because it's balanced. Once you understand and follow the plan, you lose the cravings for all the stuff, and can sub with healthier options. I only use products I can buy at the local grocery store. I will add that I had to quit using MFP as much because it always tells me I'm eating too many calories and will gain weight, but that hasn't happened yet. :)
