[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 50+ and a website referred by DCUM (in the sports/fitness section) changed my life:

OP, the short story is calories in=calories out is not the correct way to go about it.

Eat what your ancestors ate. (Like that saying, if you want the rocket to fly, give it rocket fuel)

I got down to my pre-pregnancy weight without being hungry, and without doing "chronic cardio."  I gave up eating grains and added sugar, I go for walks, I lift weights a little bit, I get sleep.  I can eat meat, fat, butter, bacon!

Before I figured this out, I used to excercise like crazy, was in weight watchers, etc. and I was just stuck on a hellish hamster wheel of excersise, hunger, calorie (point) counting and tiredness.[/quote]

52 and a chronic dieter until recently. Past few months I cut out processed foods, wheat, sweets, most grains, bread. Eat fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, nuts, legumes,  occasional beer/ wine.  Finally able to maintain a lowish  weight(  5"5, 131 )without counting points, calories . I do a lot of walking and yoga but I was doing that before and still struggling.[/quote]
