Mostly just that it's worked for me in the past, but honestly it probably wasn't a very healthy means of losing weight. I have to recondition my mind to accept natural sugars (thus carbs) from fruits and dairy as well as whole/complex carbs as being okay. Everyone in this thread has been so helpful in reinforcing it too :)

Thanks, this is really helpful!

That actually brings up another question...(Apologies if this is off topic and/or already existing in another thread.) MFP lets me set a target ratio of fats, protein and carbs...but I have no idea what that balance should look like. Any suggestions for my situation, particularly to lose weight but still be healthy.

Thanks for all the advice :) I'm certainly not trying to only eat 1,300...it just ends up that way when trying to stay under the fat cap. I'm also trying to be "low-carb" since I find that when I avoid carbs, I just make better eating decisions in general. I think what I'll end up doing is just integrating more fruit into…
