[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Change your thought process so you only ever think of the word diet as a noun meaning "the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats."  Never think of it as a verb or as a noun meaning "a special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons."

You cannot go "on" a diet and succeed long term.  You can [b]change [/b]your diet to [b]healthy [/b]food that will fuel your body and provide sustenance.

Eat real, minimally processed food, ideally fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds and nuts, and grains.  That immediately eliminates almost all of the foods that lead to being obesity.[/quote]

Tell me you've never been obese without telling me you've never been obese. I eat like this now 95% of the time, barely eat over 1500 calories. I'm 150 lbs overweight. It's not that easy for everyone. [/quote]

DP. How do you know you “barely eat over 1500 calories”?   Do you weigh (not estimate, not measure volume) everything that goes in your mouth?  Do you log everything?  Do you not eat back exercise calories?  I ask because I’ve had similar conversations with lots of family members when they ask about my successful weight loss, and they tend to be estimating, and typically wildly underestimating calories consumed and overestimating exercise calories.  I know when I try to estimate, I can be as much as 100% off. [/quote]
