Losing weight is about a host of issues. But I've seen folks eat whole foods and clean and regain, and eat a lot of processed crap and keep it off. So, it depends on a multitude of factors.<br /><br />I want to ideally eat mostly clean and organic. BUT...I tried that and the scale barely budged. I started adding adjunct processed foods and the scale is moving. Calorie controlled ended up more important than the composition--so far.<br /><br />My ideal is to eat whole and natural and home-cooked mostly. But the reality is that things that are pre-measured, high protein, and easy to make have fit quite well into my lifestyle this year. What can I say? Not idea but it's helping.<br /><br />The key is for people to find what helps them eat less. Maybe for some people that's all packaged stuff. For others it's all fruits veggies and tofu and beans. But people have to find the means that helps them eat in a calorically controlled manner and avoiding triggers and setting up new habits and who knows what else. Emotional issues...seen people who worked through that lose scads.<br /><br />Generations before me stayed slim eating white bread, red meat, and margarine. Clearly, that sounds nuts to us now, but they did. I guess they ate less, moved more somehow.Princess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.com
