Did you also take the Mercedes because the Porsche is in the shop? :laugh:1 -
The one where I eat very well for the most part and get some awesome nutrition in my body...then I exercise regularly...then the rest takes care of itself. I'm also going out for pizza with my boys for lunch.1

But you are nursing too right? Trying to gain weight while nursing.. it's like running up hill, at least for me!1 -
I've done reduced carb a couple of times, and it's helped me. Now, I count calories and make better choices most of the time -- whole grains over refined, less red meat (and meat in general), good fats.0

For fun, I am trying calorie/carb cycling to see if it makes improvements in my training. But holy hell, I am struggling with carbs... I am not eating enough of them on my high carb days (never thought I would say that).4

I've been seeing a nutritionist. So I'm not on a plan per se, but I try to stick to clean eating and keep 3 meals and 2snacks at 15 net carbs or less at each. I also avoid cheese as much as possible bc it's processed food.
I was very successful without feeling deprived last year when I did. But, I stopped eating healthy (I'm not on a "diet) and I'm regrouping.
Seeing the nutritionist was by far the best results for me after doing Atkins, south beach, weight watchers, nutri system etc over the years.
I do consider the way I eat as aligning with primal (not strict paleo) because it centers around clean eating and eating foods good for your body. The guide from nutritionist helps me make clean food choices appropriate for my weight loss.0 -
I also find, my problem with staying healthy eating on my weight loss journey is 100% mental for me bc I'm battling food addiction/compulsive eating. It's never been a matter of not liking or wanting healthy foods, I really do like them. But there is an emotional pull/draw to want to eat a big greasy slice of pizza or a giant piece of cake when it's in front of me. I can only describe it as more than a craving. Almost like my brain is saying I "need" it. Fix my brain, I'm good to go. Lol3

While 30! It's amazing!1

I eat what I ate to get fat BUT I eat less of some foods, made others lower calorie and moderate my chips/sweets.
I started to moderate Dr. Pepper but I think I've only had one in 6 months and it was too sweet:)
I cycle my calories because I don't want to eat a set amount every day and it seems to fit my social calendar.
I also stopped forcing myself to eat breakfast. I stop eating at 5pm just because I don't like going to bed on a full stomach and this seemed to help me sleep better as well as cut out the late night snacking.
Basically I'm eating in a way that I can maintain after I get to goal weight.

I suspect that the disordered eating you are struggling with, comes partly from the repeated diets in your past, and partly from the present strict/arbitrary food rules. If you can overcome that, eating will feel much easier.6 -

This is what I was thinking as well, reading those two posts.2 -
I'm eating whole foods plant based, as fresh and raw as possible with exercise. I love how I feel on this way of life. I think it's going to be sustainable and healthy for me and the planet for at least the next forty or fifty years. LOL.0

For me, it made sense count everything except for fruits and veggies.0

Do you live in a year round warm climate? Here in MI the terms 'fresh and raw' do not go together, this time of year lol 4 -
My plan is to eat within my calorie goals. No weird restrictions. If I can get a little extra fiber and protein in there, make an effort to eat some fruit and vegetables, that's a cool bonus. Been here maintaining for almost 6 years so far and that's the best diet plan for me. It's almost TOO easy!

Seriously though, I can imagine because I am not bulking and I can hardly keep up with this little girl's demand.1 -
I'm just trying to eat the widest variety of foods that satisfy my hunger and preference while staying within my calorie goals. If I want pasta for dinner I might eat lighter breakfast and lunch or try grab an extra 100 cals with a half hour power walk around the neigbourhood. Just try to keep it doable.3

CICO, eat some vegetables every day, get some protein, have some healthy fats. I'm a stubborn jerk; if I tell myself I can't have certain things I'll eat nothing but those things, and if I tell myself I have to eat certain things I'll go out of my way to avoid them. Best not to meddle with "what" and just focus on "how much," for me!1

Pray for me. Tomorrow is my first low carb day, so it might not be pretty on the forums...4
