[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not cut anything but tracked calories and tried to eat the Michael Pollan way - real food, mostly plants, not too much. I cut down on alcohol, processed foods. And the experience really changed my eating habits. I pretty much eat whatever I want, but find I like eating Whole Foods much more than processed. I eat plenty of carbs and sweets, I just make them from scratch. Have kept the weight off for 5 years. [/quote]

How much weight? I tried for years to make this work but my natural hunger level just didn't work with it. [/quote]

Different PP who follows similar plan than previous poster, very influenced by Pollan with huge emphasis on real food. The difference is that I also pay a lot of attention to carbs. I find that carb trigger my hunger and make me overeat. When my meals are mainly good proteins, fats and veggies I am not hungry. I still eat carbs but usually only at dinner as it helps me sleep. And I often fast (black coffee) until 10 am at least. I find that if I eat carbs at breakfast I am hungry earlier.

So, to the real food, cooked from scratch, very little processed food mantra, I also add low carb and some level of intermittent fasting. 42 yo woman, 5”5  stable 118 pounds (while I am naturally chubby if I eat “normally”). I am never hungry and I know what being hungry means[/quote]
