[quote=Anonymous]I've tried various methods over the years, and the one that I found was the easiest to stick with one my metabolism and blood sugar adjusted was the primal/paleo. The philosophy behind it is kind of wacko, but in practice, it means that you sub all the starchy bulk in your diet (grains, potatoes, bread, pasta, etc) for veggies and you sub all processed sugars for natural sources of sweetness (in moderation), like honey and maple syrup.

So, breakfast is some kind of egg scramble and maybe some breakfast meat. You can have coffee but instead of putting sugar in there, you put maple syrup. [Milk (and dairy more generally) is fine by primal standards, not by paleo.] Lunch might be a taco salad with homemade salad dressing. Snack might be sliced apple with almond butter. Dinner is chicken or steak over a bed of oven roasted brussel sprouts, or some kind of coconut milk based curry served over squash instead of rice.

It took my body 1-2 weeks to adjust. It took me a couple months to find the right recipes that satisfied my tastebuds and culinary preferences. But, once I got in the groove, it was effortless and I never had to force myself to limit servings. I was just naturally full and loosing weight. [/quote]
