[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 37 and can still fit into clothes from high school. Partly genetics but I can say for certain if my not so thin friends did this they could get thinner without much effort
-No soda at all. No diet soda either. No juice. Water, black coffee, sugarless tea, sparkling flavored waters. Maybe 4 ounces. I haven't had a soda in 4 years.
-high protein breakfast, NO bagels no bread. Eggs and more eggs
-cut the alcohol . save for weekends
- limit processed foods, almost zero, eat heavy nicer restaurant food than a healthy choice TV dinner 
-drink at least 2 liters of water a day
-eat high protein lunches, skimp on dinners
-cut late snacking, if I get hungry I eat eggs 
-no sugar or candy. Seems like no brainer but people snack on candy without thinking twice

Working out-eh, twice a week half hour, nothing hard.  I find the lifestyle eating habits more effective[/quote]

I'm about to turn 41, and I operate in a similar fashion. I'm 5'8", 140 lbs., size 6 in most off-the-rack clothes. The same weight as high school/college.

-beverages include plain water, sparkling water, unsweetened ice tea, black coffee. Wine limited to once per weekend and/or special occasions. Gave up diet soda several years ago. 
-my standard breakfast choices are 1) 2 eggs scrambled with guacamole or salsa (bought fresh in the produce section), 2) one chicken apple sausage with some berries, 3) apple slices with unsweetened almond butter. And black coffee. 
-I don't snack except for a handful of mixed nuts (<1/4 cup) if I am ravenous and a meal is not in the near future. 
-Lots of protein and vegetables, very little dairy, grains, added sugar. 
-Desserts are only for special occasions, not a nightly affair. 
-Zero junk food, no candy or other sweets. If you cut way back on your added sugar, you will be astounded by how sweet fruit tastes!

I do cook quite a bit, but I also eat out at restaurants all the time. I just try to make good choices when I do. I also don't exercise that much. I am a very outdoorsy person and usually on the go, but I probably work out in the traditional sense less than half a dozen times per month. I am blessed with mesomorphic body type; my body builds and maintains muscle easily. When I do work out, it is weight training exercises. [/quote]
