[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Skip breakfast. Big salad with protein at lunch.

20-30 minutes cardio 4-5 times a week after work.  Sometimes I lift some weights.

Small dinner. Sometimes salad and fruit.  Celery sticks or Wasa crackers and low-fat laughing cow cheese wedges as a snacks.

Light meal is always dinner. Sometimes I’ll do oatmeal with walnuts and raisins for breakfast and skip lunch.

Basically 2 meals a day. I’ve done this for over 10 years. My body has adjusted.

I’ve lost 25 pounds 26 years ago and that’s how I lost and maintained.

Calorie deficit and exercise. Not rocket science.

This sounds miserable. And lacking in nutrients.

This is what I eat on Weight Watchers (lost 10 pounds and maintained)

Breakfast: Big omelet with veggies (eggs are 0 points, veggies are 0 points). If I'm doing well on points, I will add cheese. Coffee with nonfat creamer. Maybe a whole wheat English muffin or toast.

Lunch: Usually leftovers from dinner. I can also do places like Sweetgreen, Potbelly or Panera within points budget.

Snack: Fruit (0 points) or air-popped popcorn with flavored salt (0 points) Yogurt if I'm extra hungry and need some more protein (nonfat is 0 points, but I sometimes do lowfat). Sometimes veggies with dip.
 
Dinner: Chicken-based dinner. Chicken is 0 points, so I spend points on sauce, toppings, etc. I like creamy and cheesy chicken dishes and I can do those within points budget! I might have two chicken breasts, it depends on how hungry I am. Sides are veggies with various seasonings (0 points) or veggie noodles with no-sugar added tomato sauce (0 points). Most fish is also 0 points, so I might do that. I eat red meat occasionally for iron, but not often. Sometimes soup, gazpacho in summer (0-2 points), chicken soup in winter (1-2 points). If I want something sweet, meringues or a lowfat fruit and yogurt bar.

I eat until I'm full at every meal, I just make sure I'm filling up on low or 0 point foods. I'm never hungry and I weigh less than I did in HS in my 40s!
