Eating at a deficit and not sitting on my butt all day.0

I just eat less than I burn. No secret about it.0

1) Weighing my food. It's an important step that a lot of people miss.
2) Weight lifting. I'm not just trying to lose weight; I'm trying to maximize fat loss AND minimize muscle loss.... and I'm seeing the results!0 -

my secret, or more like motivation, is reminding myself that I want to be super sexy and fit back into my cute clothes that I never got rid of.
My super go to feel good food helps also. Jif crunchy peanut butter. I love it almost as much as my dear hubby.0 -
eating in a calorie deficit
hitting macro/micros
having a food scale
realizing that no foods are bad and they can all be enjoyed in moderation0 -
Keeping healthy foods in the house and thinking a couple of days ahead what I'll be eating. Cooking at home most of the time and when we do go out to eat, I look at the menu online ahead of time and decide what I'm going to have.0

So the deficit you created causes your weight loss Not eating Paleo
Paleo is more a choice to eat certain food like vegetarian. Or not eating carbs or sugar what ever.
btw by saying "and then joined a counting site", is not saying that i know why he joined this site.
It makes me always wonder when people preach a certain life style/diet, and then join another site then their favorite diet site.
Its like going to McDonalds and telling there that Kentucky fried chicken is so wonderful

I think when you do Paleo, you are naturally eating less calories without realizing it, hence the weight loss. I tried the Atkins once, and after I ate a whole chicken breast and some broccoli, I was full. Miserable, but full.0

The op asked what our secret was, I answered what worked for me, didn't preach. I didn't even choose the lifestyle for weight loss; I had medical reasons, but weight loss was a very welcome side effect. I wonder if someone answered that being vegetarian was their secret, would that answer bring the same hostility?0

Not always true.
In the time that i still had my own garden, fresh meats, own eggs from my free ranch chickens and eat very healthy. I still ate to much.
It all comes down to counting.
That you can eat more of the green stuff ( ) helps for sure. But not always helps to create a deficit when you do a certain diet
Atkins in the time that you didn't count fruit would be a killer for me. I can eat fruit the whole day. Unlimited!!!! Avocados by the 10 lol ( almost 300 calories per avocado) hehehe

So same as for us...your calorie deficit makes you lose weight. Not eating a specific diet as Paleo
