What diet method are you using and Is it working for you?

I do my best to count calories, make healthy food choices, exercise regularly, get plenty of rest, and try not to freak out when i stumble along way.

self control, Hell NAW:huh: :drinker: :drinker: :sad: :sad: :sick: :devil: :frown: :embarassed: :glasses: :indifferent: :ohwell:

TDEE - 20% works perfect. I've lost a bunch of weight and I eat a lot.

count calories and work out six days a week

^ This ^ while doing TDEE - 20%.

I have done so many things over the years, it isn't even funny!
I have done Weight Watchers 8 times. I have done Nutrisystem.
Most recently I joined a weight loss/nutrition program at my gym, and it was basically just counting calories and was really expensive, so I came here.

I just track my calories (usually) and focus on smaller portions. I am consistently losing weight, although it is SLOW going. I realized I am only able to focus on one or two major changes at once. I decided that exercising was a priority so I have been moving more, doing more classes at the gym. I get 60 mins excercise (cardio and weights!) 5 times a week. I also always wear a fitness tracker (fitbit) which tracks all my movement throughout the day, just doing normal everyday stuff and it pushes me to walk more, take the further away parking spot, climb the stairs instead of elevator, etc.

The other thing I did was to just not eat as much. I have lost 12 pounds since Jan 7. That isn't a huge amount, but I am very excited about it.

My next step will be to not only track my calories better but to make healthier food choices as well. I am halfway there.

Oh, I also kicked regular soda cold turkey and instead just drink flavored soda water, for the bubbles.

I am using 1600 calories per day, a mild deficit.

My goals are : maximum nutrition in each meal, several small meals a day
fruit / veg / lean protein / whole grain,


exercise every day, about 5 hours a week
weight training x 2
cardio x 4

Avoid a lot of carbs before bed
eat more before and after workouts, earlier in the day preferred

Count calories, workout everyday and stay active. Breakfast and lunch are are very routine. Breakfast is egg whites, oatmeal and chicken or fish for lunch. Dinner is open.

calorie and marcro recording and limited carbs
good luck with your journey

you can make this scientific or keep it simple..I chose the latter.

eating less and moving more has worked for me.

Doing my own thing, counting calories at about TDEE-20% give or take exercise calories if im hungry or not.
and it certainly working, losing 1 kilo a week on average so far the past 6 weeks

Eat between my BMR and TDEE
Lift Heavy when I get the chance
Keep moving in some way
Enjoy a variety of food


Yep it's working, I plateau from time to time but get past it by cycling my calories and varying my food and excercise. So far so good :drinker:

I eat 1200-1400 calories a day. I choose healthy foods and try and eat as clean as possible but Im not gonna cut out processed food completely. On days I cheat, I still make better choices than I would have before. We dont eat white bread or white pasta. whole wheat only and lots more fruits and veggies.

I have never even learned anything about any methods. Eating slightly less, eating much healthier, moving more. Basically, I plugged in my info to MFP and I pay attention to my numbers on here. I try to stay close to my macro guidelines, and I definitely try to stick close to my calorie goal. I could probably lose more quickly on some sort of system. But I know I wouldn't be consistant and I wouldn't like it, it just doesn't fit my mentality. This does.

I tried NutriSystem a few years ago...I lost weight, but the food killed my intestinal tract. I tried WW, and lost 30 of my 43 with it (my subscription ran out last month), but it's a bit pricey to pay the online subscription, when I can just use this. I am counting calories and Zumba-ing 5 days per week.
