This is what works for me when I need to lose weight:
Coffee in the morning, then I don't eat anything until lunch, at 12. For lunch I have a Kale salad with grains and avocado, then a fruit, either berries or pomegranate, I allow myself one snack that I either eat at lunch or in the afternoon, and then the same Kale salad for dinner. I don't eat past 8 p.m. |

| This is a great thread. Just what I need. A program. |

| This is making me depressed. I would be (and have been) ridiculously hungry on these examples. |

I always eat protein with carbs and don't eat after 8pm. I have been losing weight slowly but steadily for over two years. I've lost about 15 pounds.
This week for example, Breakfast- coffee (I'm not a breakfast eater) Lunch at work- same every day: half onion bagel toasted, cheese (brie or Gruyere) and raw cut up veggies Dinner this week- Japanese style omelet over fried rice, lump crab meat from deli with toasted baguette, hard boiled eggs with ramen, bacon sandwich. |

Coffee at home. .bring to work homemade very spicy chai with skim milk and a little honey .
A few dried apricots or carrots and hummus in the midday. More snack than lunch. Slice of cheese or peanut butter on cracker before workout Dinner, whatever family is making but always. Lots of salad..a glass of wine s few times a week. Last night was bunless turkey burger with avocado and a large salad, frozen banana for dessert. Portion control is key for me, but also not eating diet food. |

I am a grazer, so frequently eating small amounts works better for me than full meals with several hours between.
Breakfast: Coffee with cream, 1 egg boiled or fried Snack: 1/2 apple Lunch Turkey and cheese rolled up in a carb-conscious tortilla, other 1/2 of the apple Snack: Kind bar or a handful of almonds Dinner: Baked chicken and lots of veggies (usually as a salad, sometimes roasted Snack/dessert: plain Greek yogurt sweetened with sf Torani syrup |

Breakfast - Veggie frittata, oj, side of veggies (not potatoes) skim latte
Lunch - lettuce wrap with chicken or tuna salad plus tomato, cucumber, carrots Snacks - really any fruit or vegetables that I want abut during the day Dinner - lean protein plus two big portions of vegetables dessert/second snack - plain low fat yogurt, chia seeds, muesli from Trader Joe’s and a teaspoon of honey. Plus berries if they are laying around. This pretty much hits all the necessities, low card, low sugar and I’m never starving |

| Everyday for lunch I have the same thing and it is amazing. Cubed (non nitrate ham) and 1 regular sized ball of burrata cheese. It’s amazing, filling, and decadent. It makes me happy. It keeps me full until dinner. |

NP here. Me too. I would be ridiculously hungry and would have a really hard time being pleasant to be around. The OP's question was "if you eat the same thing every day to lose weight..." I don't know if the PP's examples are extremes they take on for a short period to lose a pre-determined amount of weight and then they ease up, or if this is what they eat every day for years. If the latter, are they continuing to lose on these diets or at some point do these diets become maintenance? Or do they never get to maintenance because they don't/can't actually follow these plans, or when they hit their goal, they loosen up too much and yoyo back up? |

No to be a downer, but there was an article a few months ago about how the naturally occurring nitrates in celery juice and cherry juice (used instead of man-made nitrates in a lot of "no-nitrate added" deli meats, though maybe not yours) is likely just as bad or worse because they are still nitrates, however they occur, and the amounts used are unregulated. Deli turkey is pretty much the only lunch my son will eat, so it's something I've been thinking about. |

So you eat basically nothing until dinner? |

+1 How can you possibly eat like this routinely and have the energy to exercise (let alone other life functions). |
