[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have done #1 and #2.  Number 1 worked, but wasn't sustainably.  Number 2 worked, too, and changed my life.  I don't think about the calories I consume, but I don't gain anymore and I'm still losing........with strength training![/quote]

16:19 and 16:23 have it right.

Of course, you can cut calories and lose weight.  It works.  But is it sustainable?  Not really.  The reason:  because its a PITA.

By cutting processed carbs (which your body processes as sugar), you change the way your body and how your processes food.  Plus, you have to re-train your taste buds.  By simply cutting calories, your body still processes the crap, just a little less of it. And your taste buds still get all the same crap, which is why not to many truly healthy foods taste all that great.  When your used to McDonalds.... even a low calorie meal from McDonalds, your body and your taste buds are getting all the same crap.  Over. And. Over.

Try looking into Paleo.  Even if you don't want to do it 100%, do a modified version.  No processed foods, no dairy, a little fruit, lots of veggies, good meat, maybe some oatmeal once a week, maybe some brown rice once a week.... see how it goes.  Combine your food properly (protein, good carb, healthy fat), do this for 30, and watch your body transform.  And you can eat all you want.  Eat when your hungry and don't be bothered with calorie counting.  I bet you'll lose at least 10 pounds in 30 days.  More if you don't do the oatmeal and brown rice.

Good luck, OP![/quote]
