[quote=Anonymous]OP, I"m the 47 year old who gained/lost the belly weight. I eat some dairy--low or full fat yogurt and cheese. It keeps me full, better for calcium absorption and Im not a huge meat eater.  I also eat beans, complex carbs, and some pasta and sourdough bread (fermented is good). Fair amount of olive oil and nuts, too--think Mediterranean diet. For brunch today (no work) I made a vat of tomato based veggie soup--zucchini, carrots, celery, greens and garbanzos with lots of onion, garlic and red pepper. I simmered it with a rind of parmesan and serve it with shredded parmesan and a slice of sourdough. I'll eat this as a light meal several times this week.

I tried a pretty low carb diet for a while and there was no magical weight loss after the first 3-4 lbs of water plus I was always stressed about finding something to eat and my workouts were not as good.  I now eat a wide range of (mostly unprocessed) things, just less of the sweet and bad stuff, try to stick to good quality.  weight loss was slow but steady.

weight lifting is new for me but has helped with posture and core--part of my belly was structural/ postural. [/quote]
