[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1200 calories/day. About  40% protein and 30% each carbs (emphasis on complex carbs, fruits, veggies, whole grains) and 30% fats (emphasis on unsaturated fat). Very minimal sugar and try to avoid processed foods.

So, food this week looks like:
 
breakfast: nonfat Skyr or cottage cheese and berries

Snack: a protein shake

Lunch: spinach salad with veggies and a protein (usually chicken, maybe salmon or a tuna steak).  Or, a veggie omelette, or grilled, marinated protein and veggies.  Last week it was ground turkey and sweet potato chili for a couple days.   One day it was 1/2 a large buckwheat crepe with Swiss and a double order of spinach.

Snack: today was a sliced  apple with cashew butter.  Sometimes a smoothie with berries, almond milk and nonfat skyr. Sometimes a Balanced Break. Etc.

Dinner:  right now, we’re on a soup kick. It’s that weather. Basic formula is low sodium chicken broth or tomato brother base, plus a protein (ground turkey, turkey, chicken or ground chicken, very low fat ground beef), plus  beans and veggies.

Last week, we ate ground turkey, cannellini beans and kale soup.   This week it’s ground chicken chili (lots of beans and veggies).  Italian Wedding soup is probably next— ground turkey sausage meatballs, chickpea pasta and lots of greens.

Sweet treat:  frozen Greek Yogurt Yasso Bar.  Right now, raspberry chocolate chip.

Yes, I’m on Zepbound, (and recently switched from Wegovy).  I’m sure other people can just willpower 1200 calories a day and a limited diet. I need help to maintain that. .

I’ve been on this diet 8 months and lost 65 pounds.  Started at 302 lbs and today wasn’t And I feel fantastic. Aching, inflammation, joint pain, GI problems, all gone.

Each week, I also do 120 minutes of strength training, plus 60 minutes of yoga and 90 minutes of cardio (cardio is one place I should do better).  My MD is tracking closely, and I am losing almost entirely fat. R that takes work.
