[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best advice- make sure every meal has protein and veggies. Eat those first. Then decide what you really WANT to eat and enjoy it. I found that before, I would swing back and forth between total deprivation and total indulgence. Particularly at restaurants, on vacation and at parties.

Even when my family orders pizza, I eat a small spinach salad with quinoa and a hard boiled egg first, along with a big glass of water. I have pizza and a glass of wine after but I am so satisfied that just enjoy the one slice of pizza and then am totally full.

Similarly, I was recently at a breakfast reception with amazing baked goods and rich breakfast foods. I filled my plate with fruit and eggs and ate that first. Drank a big glass of water and waited 20 min. Then I went back and grabbed 2-3 delicious treats. Tried a bite or two of each one and was completely satisfied.

I’ve lost 30 pounds in two years by eating this way. (About 1-2 pounds per month) Slow, steady and susatainable! [/quote]
This is a really great way to approach things, IMO. I do the same anytime I find my weight creeping up. It really helps to learn to love vegetables and experiment with interesting salads and vegetables dishes so you never get bored. [/quote]

This is how I eat too and how I encourage my kids to eat too.  Eat the good fueling food first, pause and is still want the sweet, have some.  Eat it slowly and enjoy.[/quote]
