Whole foods, whole fats, calories in, calories out.

What's your strategy?

    Lower calories to 1700 to 1800 for a while and slightly increase exercise...walk/jog more. In morning because new studies
    say it helps wt loss and appetite control.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :tongue: :laugh: :wink:

    To eat cleaner, take advantage of all the farmers markets and my garden!

    More water it's a necessity...up the strength training, I'm great at getting the cardio in but lack the desire for strength training. More variety in vegetables...

    Anyone have any good recipes for veggies as a meal.

    Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. :smile:

    gmdaniel,

    I found a good website called Yummly that has a lot of recipes for vegetables. HTH.

    My Plan: More protein, more strength workouts.

    Try for the upteenth time to eat less sugar.

    Not buying anything that could turn into a binge-worthy snack food.

    So last night we had turkey taco salad - with no tortilla chips (they would have been the devil). No crackers. No cookies. No pretzels. No hummus (because I'll eat 6 tablespoons of it with carrots). No ice cream!

    Portion control! My nemesis. And more protein.

    I have upped the amount of desired goal weight and set my calories to only one pound a week. I do not struggle at that point and it is easier for me to stay on track. I gained back 30 pounds due to diet and hormone issues between December and January. It is now coming off.
