What has helped you BOOST your weight loss?

Upping my caloric intake, morning power smoothies (a variety of fruits/veggies + protien powder), & strength training. No pills or zig-zag techniques can make up for honest, hard work. Good luck!

I do intermittent fasting and take an EC stack. I have also been trying to heal my mindset and I'm approaching things a lot more sanely than before I think. I have stopped beating myself up over less perfect days and instead I'm focused on the long term. I started looking into cognitive behavior therapy and other things to put myself into a healthy mindset. While it hasn't boosted my weight loss, it has kept me ON a positive journey so that counts I think...

I also don't drink any calories... all food. And while whole foods are best, I don't have anything off limits, I've just learned to delay gratification.

monitoring my sodium has made a big difference. Too stay below 2300 mg of sodium, you have to eat healthier and really watch the processed junk. Mine was by choice but for my mother it was not, due to a heart condition. Together we are both losing and eating better, most of the time....:)

I went on to a strict paleo diet and did very well. I lost a lot of inches, gained in strength & speed, and actually did better in terms of eating in general. However, I’m no longer on paleo and currently don’t have a scale, so not sure how things are going anymore. (I joined mfp after I realized paleo would be too hard with my current work schedule.).

Anyway. I’ve tried lots of other things, and paleo is what helped me the most. I’m still mostly paleo now, but don’t really have a scale so can’t tell you how it’s going at the moment.

To add to the great posts, I also try to get enough sleep. I find that when I am tired, I get really hungry and tend to start craving the high carb, high calorie, highly processed stuff.
