[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]*Lots of nonstarch vegetables (cukes, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.....limited to no carrots, corn, beans, pototoes, and maybe occasional tomatoes, rutabaga).
[b]*Half your body weight in water[/b]
*No sugary drinks (no soda, sweeteners with aspartame, alcohol)
*Frequent protein throughout the day
*limited to no grains (e.g., watch your net carbs closely)
*limited to no added sugars
*Watch fruit intake (yes yes it's good for you, but too much will inhibit weight loss)
*Good fats are good! (e.g., don't feel like you need to drink skim milk or have margarine)

If I eat something with too much sugar or carbs, I get super hungry as a rebound. I do the best when I'm eating vegetables, protein, and drinking lots of water.

What works for some doesn't work for others. For example, one PP mentioned oatmeal. I could never eat oatmeal and lose weight, it has way too many carbs. I need to stay around net 20-30 grams/day to lose weight effectively.[/quote

Are you saying drink half your body weight in water each day? That would be almost 8.5 gallons of water for me. That doesn't sound healthy.[/quote]

I assumed that is In ounces. For example: 120pounds/2 = 60 ounces/8= 7.5 cups of water[/quote]

PP here - yes, sorry, I meant in ounces  :lol: I have a nalgene bottle that I fill up 3x/day. Throw in lemon or lime slice in there occasionally. Sipping through a straw also helps me drink more, randomly.[/quote]
