My situation is totally different than yours, but I am seeing a doctor/nutritionist team and recently lost over 20 pounds using their recommendations. The doctor told me that I should eat WHEN I AM HUNGRY. He said that when I’m hungry my body will utilize the calories, but if I eat when I’m not hungry, the body says “what’s this? I’m not hungry” and STORES it. So that’s what I’ve been doing. They suggested I not eat specific meals, but eat when hungry, and to stop when I am satisfied. Also, it is important to exercise (duh). They explained that weight loss without exercise can lead to weakening of all muscles, including heart muscle, therefore, I MUST exercise to maintain as well as strengthen my heart (and other) muscle. I have been steadily losing weight, but more than that, I have been losing inches. I am a nurse for over 20 years, and a grandmother, (you can start to guess my age…) and have dieted many times in my life, but this has been the simplest and most satisfying way. I feel great! Hatzlocho to you!
