[quote=Anonymous]I've lost 8 pounds so far and I eased into it. Part of my issue was a long with gaining weight over the years, my appetite also increased along with it. Shrinking that again is part of my goal.

I started focusing only on what I ate during the workday, because that's easier to control. I looked for ways to add vegetables to my meals and 'super foods.' I avoid things that seem to just seem to make me hungry, like salad. Instead I make carefully portioned quinoa bowls for lunch with interesting toppings and eat a ton of berries for snack, mixed with Two Good yogurt.  You really have to read labels (4 olives are a serving size, 2 artichoke hearts, etc) and choose low sugar, high protein options. I don't eat breakfast usually and try to IF. I will eat broth based soups, but I pour it over a bed of shredded lettuce.

I like what I'm eating and when you add it up, it's 500 - 600 calories all day and leaves me with a lot of wiggle room at dinner.

It's been a month now and I'm not tired of my Mediterranean focus yet.[/quote]
