Why? Being overweight is not healthy. This is what some people need to do in order to stay a healthy weight. Nothing gross about it.

Yeah. And I haven’t weighed 140 in 20 years. I’d be delighted to weight 140 especially if it meant I didn’t have to diet. But no. Not sure if that PP realized she was bragging.

Yeah, I'd like to weigh 175. To get there, when my weight creeps up (as it is wont to do...) I go back to this for a few weeks. It isn't too different from my normal eating, but when I am around my fit-into-my-pants weight I sometimes have dessert, or go out for lunch, or have fast food. My routine:
- coffee with cream for breakfast
- lunch at about 11. An ounce or so of cheese, 1/3 cup beans or lentils, a pile of veggies. Dressed with olive oil and vinegar.
- Piece of fruit and cup of coffee mid day
- dinner at 5:30 with the family. Usually a protein and veggies, and I leave off whatever starch I'm feeding the family.
- ounce of dark chocolate

I generally have freaked out with restrictive diets. I could never not eat x again???

I'm just getting started but I'm handling the new weight watchers purple plan right now. There are a lot of zero point foods that are really filling me up:

fat free greek yogurt and cottage cheese
oats, whole grains/rice pasta and noodles
unlimited fruits and vegetables

My cravings are way down

Aiming high!

Good luck

This has really been working for me for the past two months (20 lbs down):

Morning: Coffee
Lunch around noon: enormous amount of a homemade very hearty soup with lots of veggies and cabbage as filler with a ton of hot italian sausage for protein, fat, and flavor.
afternoon: fage whole plain yogurt
dinner: whatever it is (but never pasta or bread products)

Done eating by 8:00.

Yes it is also IF and low-carb. But I have honestly not been hungry.

I just eat eggs until I reach goal weight. Repeat as needed.

Black coffee on waking

10:30-ish - smoothie w fruit, protein, greens

1pm - salad with either chicken or lentils, avocado, veggies. Olive oil, mustard, lemon, agave and salt is the dressing

3:30 - apples w almond butter

6pm - kids dinner if healthy (salmon) or a chocolate coconut smoothie
Bar of dark chocolate

No eating between 6:30-10:30 (16 hours)

Breakfast: sprouted whole grain English muffin with peanut butter, lots of berries.
Coffee with cream x 2-3 throughout morning/afternoon

Snack: small handful of dark chocolate espresso beans

Lunch:

1) whole wheat hummus and veggie wrap OR
2) bowl of some type of soup, fine it has some whole grains or is cream based, but not both and no potato heavy ones OR
3)large arugula salad with beets and veggies and either avocado or feta, plus homemade dressing.
- always an apple with lunch

Snack:
Vanilla Greek yogurt with cinnamon mixed in.

Dinner: whatever I make for the family. Usually a hearty vegeartian bean or lentil based soup, some kind of curry or stir fry with brown rice or roasted meat and vegetables. Portion control is key.

Nothing after dinner except herbal tea, or maybe a piece of crystallized ginger or a carmel is I need to satisfy a sweet tooth

That’s fine, I would love to be 140 so I have to take measures to get there. I’ve been eating specific amounts for several months and losing steadily, but yeah if I weighed 140 I would not be doing this!

This is all so gross. I will just weigh 140, thanks. Ick.

I drink coffee until I want to throw up in the AM and then drink a Premier Protein drink. Lunch is rotisserie chicken from Costco on one of their bagged salad mixes. I use Tessarae ranch (no sugar). Dinner is mostly veggies and salad with a small side of whatever main we are having.
If we have having turkey tacos, I’ll put the meat and salsa on a salad or something.
Lots of water.

Agree w measuring everything out...

Breakfast - 1/3 cup oats, plus a boiled or scrambled egg.
Lunch - turkey wrap, plus a salad (w fat free dressing)
Snacks - fruits and vegetables, a piece of jerky, or a Babybel cheese.
Dinner - Usually something high in protein but low in fat (chicken, fish, pork tenderloin), veggie on the side. If I have pasta, I measure out one serving only.
After dinner - non-fat plain yogurt with fruit mixed in, or Breyer's Delights low fat/low sugar ice cream.

Breakfast: oatmeal or cereal - measured
Lunch: Salad - 2 c. lettuce& 1ctomoato& one hard boiled egg
Dinner: Lean Cuisine - I like pizza, pasta, flatbreads,dont' like the lean cuisine meats
Snack: apple or yogurt
