Calorie counting with a strong emphasis on whole foods--most especially lean proteins, fruits and veggies and complex carbs in moderation. Healthy fats have also played an important role for me--I eat avacado, raw almonds, olive oil, peanut butter, etc daily--they help me feel satiated and keep me from bottoming out.

I am somewhat anti-consumer. I tried WW but didn't care for the meeting facilitator. I had already lost 20 pounds on my own before I walked into WW--I kept reading, kept going my own route and found 3FC.

for me calorie counting is too exact and it stresses me out. I'm more confident in my estimates with points

For years I thought calorie counting was too hard. I was writing it down on a note pad and looking up calories in a book that wasn't a very good source. Once I found the daily plate.com it became soooo much easier. I think I wasn't commited to the process enough before, but the online counters make it so much easier. I've never tried WW, the thought of being weighed in really freaked me out.
