C-A-L-O-R-I-E COUNTING. It's a plan some of us ladies on here follow. It isn't for everyone. Some people don't like counting the calories and like doing the points, etc. But it's very limitless. You aren't limited to certain foods. It's just better to make smart decisions and eat healthier. For example: Lean meats/proteins, whole grain breads and pastas, less high-fat, high-sodium, and high-sugar products. I love it. If you want a *special* treat, you can easily make room for it in your daily intake. Cycling really helps too. I cycle between 1,300 - 1,800 with one 2,000 calorie day, averaging about 1,600 calories. I eat the foods I enjoy, just the healthier versions and in moderation. You can eat the unhealthy food too! It's just about HOW much you're putting in your mouth. A serving size is usually the rule of thumb. If you eat the bads things in moderation (ie: once a week, or maybe just once a month), you'll be fine! It makes life go on and you don't feel like you're on a diet. It's for life.
There is a section for calorie counters. Take a look. See if it's for you!
