[quote=Anonymous]No. I’m in my late 50s. I’ve lost 20 lb over 6 months and I’m almost never hungry. When I’m hungry I eat. Like many people I’ve found that what works for me is prioritizing protein and fiber. I don’t routinely eat bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes, but nothing is off limits if it looks really good. I generally eat 1200-1500 calories a day, but there are probably several days a month when I indulge/go out/don’t track. Admittedly this works for me because I don’t care that much about food (other than desserts) - I eat very simply most days - and because I’m no longer making family meals. I don’t think I could have done this when my kids were at home. The other thing that has made a big difference is that for the first time I’m motivated by something other than dissatisfaction. I’ve found a sport I love and I’m motivated to get better and avoid injury, which helps me think of food in terms of fueling rather than avoidance. [/quote]
