[quote=Anonymous]Paleo-ish (I say -ish because I let myself have half and half in my coffee, soy sauce, and a few other things like that) was a miracle for me. I have PCOS and this is the only diet that I actually lost weight with and could sustain.

I basically thought of every meal as consisting of a protein and a vegetable (and "a vegetable" was usually 2-3 servings).  Fruit was a snack or a dessert. I allowed myself a pretty high amount of fat -- like roasting my veggies in olive oil and not staying away from beef, for example. This let me eat tasty food, not bland "diet" food.

I lost 45 pounds (in conjunction with exercise) two years ago. I did gain back 10 in the last year, but I blame quitting the gym for that.

When I stick mostly to this plan (100% compliance not required for me), I feel amazing. Tons of energy, great mood, good sleep.

But I firmly believe nutrition is highly individual (even though we are all the same species!) and what works for one person may not work for someone else. This worked really well for me, and I failed at lots of other diets (Weight Watchers, Atkins, low fat).[/quote]
