[quote=Anonymous]I am like you op. I needed to lose 15 lbs and tried low carb diet. That’s when I discovered how much food was a source of joy for me. So I went back to my regular foods.

So, I exercised regularly and counted calories until I lost all the weight, though I was liberal with counting so did not count low cal vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers), and not all fruit. So it took me about 6 months to lose all the weight. The slow weight loss rate helped that there was not a major jump in calories / change of eating habits when I finally stopped counting calories. I pretty much ate same way I ate over those 6 months. I have 1 large meal a day, small breakfast and small lunch. I don’t snack. I drink lots of water, also tea. The biggest and hardest change for me was not to eat after kids go to bed - usually that would be the time when I get to sit relax and munch and I would munch a lot. So I stopped that or if hungry then I make a salad. When I travel, I just eat 1 or 2 a day - either breakfast and dinner , or just dinner. I weigh 1/ month to make sure weight is not creeping back. I gained 2 lbs recently and now just eat less without counting calories. [/quote]
