[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,

I might qualify for thin at 5'9 and 125lb, but I have a very small frame so I don't feel super-thin, as I can definitely "pinch an inch" or two or three.  Not that this is the best thing to hear, but I don't eat a whole lot.  And I don't snack at all, but it's because I just don't feel the need to.  I drink a ton of water, too.

As I've gotten older (I'm 40 now), I don't feel as hungry as I did when I was younger- and I'm now about 10lb lighter than I was in my 30s.  I also do a pretty intense workout (usually) daily, which just improves my mood overall.

For me, I don't think it is so much about what I eat, rather the quantity.  For example, a pint of Ben and Jerry's would be about 6 servings for me.  I've learned to listen to my body, and if I'm not hungry, I don't eat.

If I were to give advice, I would say to chop up a bunch of veggies (bell peppers, celery, carrots, etc) and keep them in the fridge "handy" for snacks.  A little dip would them is OK too.  Otherwise it's way too easy to reach for the potato chips.

Good luck, OP![/quote]

I'm the same size as this poster and am in my early 40's. I don't really eat much either, although I will if we go out to eat or if it's Thanksgiving or Christmas. I don't starve myself but I don't eat for the sake of eating. For example, I won't sit in front of the TV with a pint of ice cream or a bag of chips. If we have ice cream at home we have one scoop each, and I'll serve it with fresh fruit.

Re the carbs, I eat lots of pasta and bread, as do my skinny husband and kids. But pasta is usually served with a tomato-based sauce. We also eat "real" foods: butter, nice cheese, whole milk, whole milk yogurt, meat, freshly squeezed fruit juice, home made cakes and cookies. We do not really eat much processed food. Not sure if this helps but just saying that carbs don't necessarily make you put on weight. [/quote]
