Are you dieting?

[mayonaise 1]

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..

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.

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:)

I think i need to be a bit stricter to be able to get to my goal weight, these 22lbs are gonna be tough..

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.
