i am within the age range of the posts here, and i need to lose 60 lbs to get within the weight ranges that many of you have mentioned. just wondering: which diet changes worked best for you to stay on a steady loss, and what changes did you have to make as you plateaued during your weightloss? thanks!

i don't care if people like or don't like keto, it makes no difference to me. what i'm doing is very modified form of keto considering 80+ net carbs, sometimes more. my diet is a pairing of DASH, Keto, and CICO....works for me. i don't doubt that i've lost some water, obviously, but i'm losing at a good rate, not a typical…

i'm eating less dangerous carbs i'm eating more healthy carbs, good proteins and healthy fats i eat high potassium and low sodium i'm pretty sure that 9lbs in one month is fat and not just water.

CICO - this process alone did not work for me...i was still eating too much sugar, which i craved, but my body wouldn't let me lose the weight, even in a deficit. so i needed to re-frame the CICO to work better for me. i modified a KETO plan into a CICO, but with more macronutrients, specific to my health needs. whoala, it…

@rfsatar - so, you are able to lose weight consistently when you stay within that carb range of 100-125g?

this advice is not meant to be taken in any way except as a suggestion, take a look at "the work" by byron katie. it can really aid in understanding perspectives, beliefs, and other ideas that keep us stuck and emotionally reactive. https://thework.com/

breakfast: smoothie: one banana, .5 cup strawberries, one vanilla activia yogurt, 2 tsp unsweet cocoa, 1 tsp instant coffee, drop of vanilla - ice/water lunch: homemade cauliflower fried rice dinner: homemade sweet/sour veggies and noodles snack: 1 cup skim milk, .5 walmart brownie

almond butter - it's just gross white pasta - i just prefer cauliflower, or chickpea, or lentil pastas - they have same texture and far more nutrients regular bread - i just don't each much bread anymore, but if i do, my favorite is alpine valley super grains with seeds that i can only find at sam's, so i buy like 6 loaves…

i eat a very low sodium diet, here is my favorite go to recipe site: http://thedailydish.us/

this is really good: SPICY CHICKEN SWEET POTATO BOATS INGREDIENTS: -100g chicken breast meat (skinless) -1 medium-large sweet potato -1/2 cup sliced button mushrooms (or portobello) -1/4 to 1/2 onion (finely chopped) -2 Tablespoons chopped spring onion (optional) -2 Tablespoons pure tomato paste -1/2 to 1 teaspoon cooking…

2 egg omelet with: small potatoes, zucchini, broccoli, and nutritional yeast, a little salsa and greek yogurt 335 calories pretty good, very filling will try with one egg next time, too much food i think

that sounds yummy, very clever option! probably too much sodium for me though, i have to watch sodium super closely...i should have mentioned that.

makes sense from here too. i won't pay any attn to it....all that matters is my scale and how my clothes fit anyway. thanks for your insights! :smiley:

well, i haven't changed my weight in the system b/c i'm only on week 2 of my diet and i haven't weighed again. so, yes, weight is same, according to MFP.

yes, same calorie goals, same consumed every day....it's really weird...i guess i'll stop using it. you're probably right, its just a gimmick

i eat a DASH diet for past 3-4 years b/c of an illness i have but i'm now CICO the DASH at 1200 cals so far, so good DASH has been recognized for several years to be one of the best, healthiest methods of eating, probably with mediterranean 2nd. DASH doesn't restrict anything, but values veggies and beans with less…

thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read and reply. all of your insights are very helpful and motivating. it is not uncommon for me to attempt at a new diet for a week or so and give up, so i am mindful how difficult this is, and that it is not linear nor quick. i need to resolve to dig my feet in the trenches,…
