Thanks for the feedback. I already sort of knew what I needed to work on, but seeing it in writing really helped as a sort of kick in the butt. And yeas, as someone mentioned, I was able to maintain a lower weight when I was younger essentially eating the same way I do now, but age has a way of changing things.

Thanks again.

Make those changes and check back in a week or so and let us know how it's going. It's going to piss many of us off when you lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks so be humble.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s and ran and was told that carbs were awesome and fat was horrible especially if I was running. I've realized that things have changed--both my body and what's generally accepted knowledge. You'll probably feel better too if you add more protein and fat.

You are not eating enough and compensating with sugar. Ditch simple carbs and include more protein and complex carbs. Absolutely no candy, pretzels. Cut out the fruit as well.

Combine your diet with intermittent fasting. Eat for 8 hours and eat nothing for 16. Start your first meal as late as possible and stop at 8 hours. Pack a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, avocado, chicken, turkey, or roast beef for lunch. Have a stew or chili for dinner with a salad or roasted vegetables. Eat nuts.

Eat more real, protein rich foods. More vegetables. Fewer carbs. Even snacking on fruit without protein it fat causes rise in blood sugar.if you need to snack try string cheese, almonds and an apple, etc. Better to ear filling meals and not snack.

I would try eggs, Greek yogurt for breakfast, with fruit . Get good fats too. As well as complex carbs. My fave brunch meak is egg, spinach and cheese scramble, with avocado toast

. Proten rich food at lunch, along with veggies.
Dinner


I small dessert.
