[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the best thing is not to follow a detailed plan but a lifestyle.

Here are probably the best principles I've found to lose/maintain my weight.

Eat only 2 or 3 times a day. I eat lunch and dnner, with an occasional snack in between if I really need it. No late night eating. Stick to one glass of wine with dinner. I have coffee with a splash of cream in the am, and then I eat a good lunch and good dinner.

Meals should all have complex carbs, fat, proteins. If you are going to have a high carb snack or meal, combine it with some protein and fat.  My go to lunch is a slice of sourdough with turkey, avocado ,spinach and tomato or eggs with veggies cheese avocado. Dinner is whatever we eat as a family---tonight is greek style chicken with couscous, roasted veggies, salad.

Cut out sugar and replace as many white carbs with complex.  Cut out artificial sweeteners as well. Use a little stevia if you need to taper.

Eat a lot of vegetables--make them half the plate at least.  only moderate amounts of  fruit.  High quality protein: fish chicken lean cuts of beef ...you know the drill.

Main fats should be olive oil, coconut oil, avocado nuts eggs. Butter okay too, just keep in control.

Avoid take out/restaurant food unless very simply prepared so you know you're not getting tons of seed oils, HFCS, etc

Cut out sugary coffee drinks.

Walk, 30 minutes twice a day if possible,  or 45 minutes once a day (bike, job, etc also good) and lift weights or yoga 3x/week. You can find all classes online. add a ittle activity thrghout the day.
