    You rock for posting this.

    This is how I lost 160lbs and how anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off will be successful. Whenever people ask me how I did it I tell them "eat less" and they say "no what do you eat, write it down for me". Why on earth would I do that? Why on earth would you want to eat what I eat? I am a terribly picky eater and I don't like most veggies, mayo, gravies, spicy foods, fish. I will eat a protein bar instead of cookies. I don't eat 6 small meals a day, I eat 2 small meals and 4 or more snacks. I eat low carb, to a point most people would cringe at. If you aren't ME than what makes you think you want to eat like me or that it would work for you long term?

    From the article:


    They advocate principles that include eating a broad range of foods and forbidding yourself nothing, getting back in touch with your body's hunger and satiety signals, moving more, being patient with yourself and focusing on health rather than idealised, magazine-style thinness.
