I wasn't as heavy ...Keep up the good work man. I wasn't as heavy as you were but I've lost a good 20 lbs since the beginning of February. My story is the same as yours...lose weight, put it back on. lose weight, put it back on.<br /><br />I counted calories for about a week and that taught me what a good plate looks like. For me its a portion of meat, veggies, fruit, sweet potato, and a handful of nuts. Not traditional eating but it works for me and I never have to count calories. All I do is a checklist of the food on my plate. I eat something like this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That's about 1500 calories of food but it fills me up so well. In between I might snack on dark chocolate or a smoothie to get me to about 2100 calories for the day. <br /><br />With daily walking and resistance training 3 days a week. I've been losing 2 lbs per week and never have to fight hunger pangs. I think the biggest thing that is allowing me to eat at a caloric deficit is that I've eliminated wheat and grain products. Those foods give me that carb crash that drives binge eating and snacking reflexes. I haven't sworn off these foods completely, but I will stay away from them until I hit my goal weight.<br /><br />I'm not low carb at all, probably about 50% of my calories comes from carbs. <br /><br />Hang in there man. I have about 4 or 5 more lbs to lose before I hit the 10% body fat mark and then its party time!<br /><br />6'1" 182Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04877650555512163822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213206446119223712.post-7466507586906962572013-02-02T18:31:17.975-08:002013-02-02T18:31:17.975-08:00hello!!
