WW/Clean Eating/Jenny Craig.....What program do you follow?

The only program I have ever followed is Ediets back before they got distracted with the idea of selling food and supplements, they used to have great meal planning and forums. Now I just follow portion control and strive for a broad nutritional profile, but I have added in a 5:2 Alternate Daily Fasting (two days wth very low calories <600) as a curious experiment just for fun.

Just curious, why do you think legumes are bad for you, DeadVim? I have never heard that before, actually the opposite.

Clean eating and exercise and I made it a lifestyle.

I, too, have done WW various times...tried Jenny Craig...you name it. Right now I am tracking here, on MFP, and I like that better than WW because it tell you WHAT you are eating and what you may be over or under with. For example, I just learned that I was over in my sodium all last week! I also tend to follow Chris Powells "carb cycling" during the week when I can. I have a FitBit to track my activity and it works with MFP and converts my activity into calories! My biggest suggestion? You have to find what works for YOU....because what works for one does NOT always work for another!!

No "program" here - I just eat regular food - mostly homecooked, and aim to not eat too much of it.

I follow my own low carb/train hard regimen.

I'm not on any program. Personally I find programs to be overwhelming. I don't stick to them and feel controlled by them. I feel that they can complicate weight loss and offer up more questions and discussions - low fat/low sugar, atkins, carb free, etc... I think that they make food a bigger deal that it really is. Food is just a fuel.
My approach is to eat under 1200 calories a day. Burn more than I consume. I may later on decide to follow a program, but for now this seems to be working.
My program is using MFP to record food and making good decisions about the type of fuel I am putting into my body.

I do the following:

1) I create a calorie deficit.
2) I eat sufficient macros (pro/fat/cho) for my body composition goals.
3) I lift weights, with intent.
4) I rest.
5) I get up the next day and do it again.

I do not eliminate foods from my diet.

My goal is to do something that I can easily sustain for the rest of my life. So it has to be something that I know can be intuitive. So my goal is to reach a point where I won't be counting calories or fretting macros, so instead of trying to "manage" a food item, its easier simply to eliminate (or drastically reduce) them. I don't want to have to use MFP after a year.

I do clean (mostly)
Little to no processed foods
I eat sugar only if it comes with the fiber it was born with
Walk daily
Lift weights
Doing this has naturally put me at 40% fat, 35% protein, 25% carbs
I never aimed for 'low carbs' but once I eliminated processed foods its hard to get over 150 grams/day (over a month I average 130 grams)

So if I'm on the road for a while I may go for something quick, but that type of thing happens less frequently than most people have cheat days.

I just finished four weeks of the Game On! diet (still have another month to go, then I'm taking a week break for vacation). It's working incredibly well.

I exercise 6 days a week, usually by doing hour long classes at the Y which combine cardio and weights.

I eat what I consider to be "clean" foods, no idea if that matches the terminology here - avoiding processed foods, lots of veggies.

I eat five times a day, and each meal has a palm size portion of protein, a fist sized portion of carbs, a thumb sized portion of healthy fats.

I follow their "good food" list, and am abstaining from their bad foods (whole cheese, butter, cream, sugar, white flour, etc). Also, no diet soda, it's VERY big on avoiding artifical sweeteners (you can use maple syrup, agave nectar and honey sparingly).

I get one day off, and one meal off. I eat what I want, and how much I want, those days. And I am still losing the weight, without dreaming of cookies all week.

I track calories/exercise here, though it isn't necessary, I just find it motivates me and keeps me honest.

Oh, and I drink 100oz of water daily.

It's competitive, you are scored on all of the above, plus a minimum of 7 hours of sleep, picking up a good habit and dropping a bad habit, communicating with your team and opponents. This is the best part - we threw $20 each into the pot, so that's the prize, but other than that, I have found that my incredibly competitive nature is what is getting me through this. Plus, even the "losers" will have won by losing some weight and hopefully having a healthier lifestyle.

40% protein/30% carbs/30% fat. Ideally all the carbs would come from veggies, friuts and legumes. Fats coming from nuts, olive oil and saturated fats from protein sources mostly.

1200 calories and exercise.

I started off with following James Duigan's Clean & Lean kickstart diet, that was suppose to last for 2 weeks. I did a week and 2 days, I think. I was getting a bit overwhelmed by what I could and couldn't eat. I missed having yoghurt and fruit for breakfast so I swapped salmon with cucumber for this. I haven't go back to my old habits, I still eat a little bit of carbs and no processed foods or rarely have sugar, but I don't panic if one day I have a pasta dish or an ice cream. I've just noticed afterwards how I feel (bloated, sluggish) and I know that this is just simply not good for me, and then go on for days/weeks without having pasta or something sweet.

So yes, clean eating, exercising regularly and not obsessing about calories too much! It must be working as I'm still losing weight.

I go to the Metabolic Research Center. I started there back in March and I am 59 pounds down. 26 more to go. I also get a year of maintenance so they will teach me how to eat and keep the weight off! I have nothing but great things to day about MRC!

I've just started back at WW, following a programme simply because I need that physical weigh-in and meeting every week, and also using MFP to track my calories and get some online enthusiasm while I'm at work!

I think programmes like WW etc only work if you're willing to put in a little work like you do here on MFP, and not just add up your points every day and expect to be losing weight just because the math adds up! Re-educating my brain is the most important thing for me in my weight loss journey, and anything that helps is most welcome!
