[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP
Not sure how old you are and how much weight you want to lose but those are both factors. When I was in my twenties I could cut out sugar and drop five pounds. In my thirties I could up the exercise. But after 40, neither of those worked. I tried low carb but I found it made me eat way too much of the good stuff (nuts, etc.) I tried weight watchers and it isn't bad but all the point counting made me think about food more not less.

What has worked for me (never very overweight but working on 10 or so pesky pounds) is something I made up  which seems to be what other people are calling intermittent fasting. Essentially skip a meal. I have coffee with milk for breakfast and a big satisfying lunch and a very small dinner. I used to eat late breakfasts anyway but with the protein from the milk I have found I am more than fine until lunch. But if that is not for you you could eat a late lunch and think about skipping dinner or just eating veggies.

This has worked for me because it really does not feel like a diet. Even someone who lacks willpower might have luck delaying gratification. It has also taken the focus off food. I've come to believe we feed ourselves too much and my appetite has decreased as the pounds have fallen off.

It has been slow for me ... I still eat plenty. But slow and steady. Good luck![/quote]
