mayonaise 1 Posted December 5, 2014 So I'm 6 months out, i lost 44 lbs and i have 22 lbs to go. I've never really dieted becausw i travel a lot and have a crazy hectic lifestyle. I walk a lot but i eat 60% clean and 40% total crap but in controlled portions. I count calories and stick to a 1000-1200 a day. I can eat a slice of medium pizza or a couple of chicken tenders. I never ever have soda or sugary drinks though maybe a latte every few days. My question is, are you sticking to a low sugar low carb diet or what? My doctor didn't give me guidelines and isn't easy to reach.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted December 5, 2014 I eat a healthy, balanced diet of Protein, Fiber, veggies, fruit and whole grains. I limit white carbs (rice, Pasta, bread, alcohol, sugar) and might have them 3-4 times/month. I keep a rough tally of Protein and Water in my head so I know I'm getting at least 80g/64oz. Other than that I don't measure or track my food, so no idea what my calories or carbs are. Basically everything in moderation and probably 90% healthy 10% crap. 11 months out, 100 pounds down, 12 pounds under goal. And no, I don't consider this dieting at all.

ArixS 28 Posted December 5, 2014 Idk it comes and go's not gonna lie I have chips and crap I shouldn't eat sometimes I usually eat clean all week and weekends I treat myself. I'll have a spoon of Pasta a bite of bread I don't deprive myself but sometimes I get on strict mode and I think that's fine too. With sweet sometimes I'll have some and sometimes sugar free or just none. I'm going on 9months out 115 down 10 pounds to go Sw-280. Obviously I'm doing something right. Size of my stomach still feels tiny I can eat 2 chicken nuggets max and maybe half a slice of medium thin crust pizza, just so you get an idea. Good luck:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IcanMakeit 1,318 Posted December 5, 2014 I eat on plan almost 100% of the time (with slight deviations for my birthday and Thanksgiving), but I don't think I'm on a diet. I make sure most of my meals are tasty as well as healthy and I usually avoid low fat versions of foods. For instance, I don't like chicken breast, so I usually have skinless thigh meat instead. The reason this works is that my restriction keeps me from overindulging. I think if I was "dieting," eating egg whites instead of whole eggs, avoiding real cheese and avocados, etc., I would be less successful in the long run. A diet is something you go on and off of. I plan to stick with my current eating habits when I reach maintenance with a few small additions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
