Hey guys, have been reading around getting a feel for how to do this and succeed this time after soooo many unsuccessful weight loss attempts. Never tried with MFP before so starting my logging tomorrow.

A question (doing the grocery shop today): What five foods did you always like to keep on hand when you were losing weight?

Thanks!

    3. almonds - good fats
    4. peanut butter - good fat

    The ideal I strive toward is pure, clean whole foods.
    I try to eat clean 80% of the time is actually quite simple.
    I eat lean meats, low fat dairy, nuts, whole grains, fruits and veggies. If man makes it, don't eat it.
    That's the ideal, and 20% of my diet are just regular food treats like burgers, twinkies, pies, cakes - whatever.
    Life is to be lived too.
    It's more lifestyle than diet.
    And once the lifestyle becomes habit, it gets easy.
    Good Luck :flowerforyou:
