Also, I have kept that weight off for a while. My heaviest was 2-4 years ago, so I am pleased with the fact that I will have long periods of time where I will eat everything I want and the weight has stayed off.
First things first, cut out all sodas and teas and any of drink with sugar in them.
I try and avoid all enriched flour aka anything white. All white bread mainly. I also cut back a lot on carb intake. I still eat them but just not as much.
What I have been doing the past couple of weeks is doing a protein shake for breakfast with a banana. mid morning eating some sort of protein snack, I normally do jerky, but when I run out, its a protein bar. Lunch will consist of a nice salad with fat free dressing and supper will be some sort of meat cooked. I am eating good and dont get hunger and actually enjoy each and every meal. I will not put food in me after 5:30 pm either. This has helped a lot with getting good sleep. I go lay down in bed as soon as I start to get the hungry feeling.
Other than all that, I also watch portion control. Cut back on everything I serve myself.
And one day a week, normally Saturdays or Sundays, I will eat real good.
