[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people really count calories and weigh forever?? That sounds exhausting. I can see at first to get a handle on how much calories you are really consuming and what one serving of something is supposed to look like, but forever- geeze.

I don't count calories at all ever.  It is too easy for it to turn into an obsession and takes the fun out of eating if im assessing up every bite.

Listen to your body.  Eat when you are very hungry. Stop when you are no longer hungry, but not full.

Lots of fruits and veggies
Moderate amount of whole grains
Moderate amount of yogurt
Very little meat
Healthy oils and nut butters liberally 
A little dark chocolate daily
Coffee or herbal tea if I'm wanting to eat but it isn't a meal time

Limit snacking, and if you really need a snack make a smart choice and then be done

+1 This is how I eat also, except I'm not a big fan of fruit other than apple slices or berries so tend not to eat as much in the winter. I do weigh myself every day, especially after dining out (which isn't often at all) or eating larger meals than normal, and I cut back on portions if I need to. Lunch is my biggest meal and if I'm not hungry for dinner or eating too late, I'll skip it or just have a cheese stick and tomato slices or something equally as light. I do 20 mins of strength training once or twice a week and sometimes run but mostly walk 3 miles a day. I'm 41, 5'5", weigh 125.[/quote]
