I love the comments above! The calorie deficit works! I think its about finding the sweet spot. Where you're feeding your body enough not to feel threatened, the rest is finding what you and your body agree you can eat. I love bread but bread doesn't love me, my hands swell especially if I mix it with protein, no hot dogs…

I get your frustration, I've been there. I've found that dieting for my body requires skill and fine tuning. I know that there are foods I can eat and others that I just can't do. I had to learn to listen to my body and nourish it the way it wanted to be nourished. I had to pay close attention to my blood sugars and look…

Mine was really easy really, I went to the doctors and when she couldn't find any other reason to fuss at me, she said I needed to join a weight loss program. Not like I hadn't been working on it all along (the reason she had nothing to fuss about).
