[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only lost 10 pounds but went down THREE sizes by prioritizing:

1. [b]Protein-Healthy Fat- Fiber at every single meal (aim for 120 grams of protein a day)[/b]
2. 12 hour fast every night. (so if i stop eating at 9, I don't eat until 9am the next day)
3. Weight Lifting 4-5 times per week for 20-30 min
4. Ditching cardio and instead prioritizing NEAT movement (i.e. walking, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, staying on my feet when I can etc)
5. 8+ hours of sleep no matter what - this has actually been the most challenging part...
6. Never drink alcohol two nights in a row- I aim for 3 nights a week.

I feel like I pretty much eat whatever I want but I have to say that I tend to crave healthier choices now. I have been living this way since 2019 and I don't even feel like its a plan anymore. Its just my lifestyle! Skin is better. Sex drive is better. I am 39 and I feel really comfy taking this way of living into my 40's. [/quote]

Could you give examples of what some of your meals are?

I always have the hardest time thinking about what to eat, then I just end up grabbing whatever is quick.  Meal planning has always been a challenge for me.

Sure! Here are some examples- I find it a really easy formula to follow: 
1. Salmon (protein) with broccoil (fiber) and tzatziki (healthy fat)
2. Turkey breast (protein) with spinach (fiber) and avocado (healthy fat) wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla (fiber)
3. Chickpea Salad with chopped pepper, onion, cucumer and tomato (fiber and protein) with chicken (protein) and olive oil/balsamic vinegar and feta cheese (healthy fat)

I also eat this way when eating more fun meals too: 
1. 1 slice of pizza with a side salad topped with chicken
2. Small portion of my favorite pasta with a side of shrimp and steamed asparagus drizzled with olive oil
3. Charcuterie board with friends- prioritize the salami, procsuitto, nuts and fruit- try each cheese on a cracker.

Delicious and easy![/quote]
