[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us mere mortals who don't have jlo money for private trainers, chefs etc. I am nearly 50 and weigh the same as in HS.  My measurements are 32 26 32. I am on no medications.  I am upper middle class but not wealthy. And I've had two children and work full time.  My tips that have worked for years

Cook everything from scratch.  Avoid factory made processed foods.  This also includes salad dressing, yogurts etc.

Don't eat out at restaurants much.  Inflated portions distort normal portions.  If you order an entree, eat half and take half home.  If you order wine skip dessert.  Split dessert with your significant other.  Eat out no more than once or twice a month, max.

Don't snack. You're not a squirrel. Eat three meals only.

Don't drink your calories.

Thin isn't always healthier.  Watch your metabolic health.  When you have your annual physical, look carefully at your numbers, A1C, blood pressure etc.  Be extremely proactive if you develop metabolic issues.

Walk daily, brisk exercise is good.  Two miles a day is good.

Don't bother counting calories.  Eat real food you have made.

I don't generally avoid food groups but I do avoid or limit whites, e.g. white flour, white rice.  [/quote]

I don’t get these posts. You think this is new advice? People know not to eat garbage and drink too much. People know they are supposed to exercise, etc. everything you wrote is common knowledge. [/quote]

NP.  And yet, most of you are fat.  There is no magic diet.  There are no Shortcuts.  This poster did a great job of sharing what works for her.  I’m the 5’5, 115 poster.  I agree with her, but I never skip desert. [/quote]
