[quote=Anonymous]I have never heard of anybody eating whatever they want in their window and still losing weight, OP.

First, at 43 and not tall, I need to make sure I don’t go over 1200 calories if I want to lose a few pounds.  I usually accomplish this by having two meals.  The first is a quality protein, usually salmon, and a half cup of cooked steel cut oats with milk and some berries.  Then for the second meal, I have a salad with vinegar and oil and another protein, usually salmon again or baked chicken breast.  And a berry bowl with quark.  I am careful to measure these things exactly so that I don’t exceed my calorie threshold.

No, I don’t eat the exact same thing for every day.  I also like homemade lentil soup sometimes, or steak or scallops/shrimp for my protein.  Etc.

If I’m feeling really run-down, I have been known to have a bigger bowl of oatmeal with a little handful of raisins for my first meal only.  This is filling and feels good, and works just the same as long as my total calories intake is under my limit.

I happen to love cardio and will do a forty minute or one hour run on IF days.  It feels good and gives me a lot of energy.

I rarely drink alcohol because I am vain about my looks.  IF eliminates all desire for junk food, so that’s off the table too.[/quote]
