Eating 1,800 and burning 500 every day works for me. Always hit protein goal. Loss of +/- 1# per week. I'm 5/7"F, 150#.4

I am a keto'er...I have lost 91 lbs. in a lil over 2 years with 30 to go ....I workout 6 to 7 days ....I lift weights and do zumba during the week and run during the weekends6

I'm a few years into maintenance now and I continue to focus #1 on my calorie intake. I still eat all the foods I like and nothings off limits (only exception is I've switched from regular coke to diet now). I also do 16:8IF as part of my maintenance plan and my eating window is from 11am-7pm. Nothing magical about IF, but not eating in the morning helps control my hunger and gives me more calories to have a bigger lunch, which works well with my schedule/preferences.4

lol I'm noticing a lot of people working out every day I guess once u get hooked0 -
Keto and I weren't a match but eating 1800 calories daily, getting good sleep, and exercising at a minimum 5 days a week are a great match.
My success is it depriving myself of anything. If I eat something not so fab, the rest of the day or next few are clean2 -
Eating food I like but staying within reasonable boundaries - lost 50 pounds, kept them off effortlessly for over two years.8

The center of my lifestyle now is to make a biiiiig one-egg omelette for breakfast overstuffed with about 300 g of veggies (usually about 100 each onion, mushrooms, and spinach),and build a huge salad for lunch with plenty more raw veggies and some protein sources while sauteeing my breakfast veggies.
I walk out the door feeling satisfied and have lunch literally" in the bag." I get my fiber, I stay full, and breakfast plus lunch usually comes in at about 600 calories total, giving me plenty of room to enjoy a nice dinner and still stay under my calorie goal.5 -
Maintaining a 178 lb loss for 4 years here.
I guess if I had to name my WOE it would be moderation/IIFYM. I basically eat the same foods as I did when I was obese, just less. I have learned to embrace and enjoy new ways with veggies and fruits and I would say that 'dieting' actually helped me to expand my variety of foods.
I use logging now to make sure I hit my protein and fat macro's as I often struggle to reach my calorie goals when I am in a flare.
Exercise has been a big area of change for me. At 278 lbs I was not active at all and due to my size all I was only able to manage was walking. I ended up getting into LONG and hard bushwalking here in Tassie and was even climbing the odd Mountain or 2.
It only took me till my late 40's early 50's to be stronger, fitter and more agile than I had ever been. I had to let that go when I got sick, so now I am focusing on weights and Yoga mainly.7 -

Volumetrics. High protein, moderate fat, lowish carbs. I eat a crap ton of veggies. People are usually shocked. I have to order two salads at many restaurants.0
