[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm loving Freestyle!  This is my second time with WW, and I think Freestyle is a huge improvement.  I'm also in your same boat -- 10/15 lbs overweight at 40, and wanting to stop the creeping up of the scale.

Basically, Freestyle forces you to eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, and low-fat protein if you want to stay full.  Because I really love fruits and veggies, it's ended up being much easier than I thought, and has resulted in eating a much healthier diet than the earlier version of WW.  For that reason, I feel it's a sustainable way of eating (for me) as opposed to a diet.

Personally I try not to snack at all, other than fruit, because I have a hard time limiting snacks.

Are you doing online with coaching? If this is your first diet diet, then I think the coaching calls could really help.

Here's an average day for me:

Breakfast:  coffee with 2 tsp sugar; fruit; hard boiled egg; 1/2 piece toast with 1 tsp butter

Lunch:  turkey sandwich with lettuce and pickles on 1 slice of bread; 1 c nonfat fage with fruit and 1 tsp sugar

Snack:  2 pieces of fruit

Dinner:  1 1/2 c pasta with beans and sauce (pasta e ceci), big salad with olive oil and vinegar.  (I am usually absolutely stuffed after a meal like this!)

Dessert: 1-2 small gingersnap cookies.

Super carb heavy, not much protein [/quote]

How so?  I have a hardboiled egg, 2-3 oz of turkey, 1 c. nonfat yogurt, and about 1/2 beans (in the pasta).  I do have a lot of fruit, but fruit is healthy.  Bread is whole wheat.  The only highly processed carbs are the 3 tsp sugar, & 1/2 c pasta. (Oh, and the cookies!)  This is working great for me - losing weight, and I feel very satisfied and balanced.  I don't think paleo or super low carb is a sustainable way to live for me.  [/quote]

That looks good to me, PP--especially since it works for you, which ultimately is all that matters![/quote]
