I'm down 25 pounds since Summer ended. I'm 33, 5'9" and have gone from 183 to 158. I work fulltime and have a traditional 12 hour school schedule so I rarely have time to workout. I'd like to flux between 150 and 155. My diet consists of:
Breakfast cookie - oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, cranberries, applesauce or baby food, Fiber One cereal (makes fart noise with mouth), maybe some nuts if I have some.
Piece of fruit for a mid morning snack - I buy whatever is on sale, apples, oranges, bananas, pears, etc.
Lunch is a salad I bring to work - Lettuce, spinach, turkey or chicken from the deli counter, almonds, dried berries, and lite dressing. Piece of fruit and/or Jello.
Piece of fruit for afternoon snack.
Dinner is baked chicken, turkey, or marinated beef with some sort of veg, again whatever is on sale, green beans, broccoli, asparagus, etc..
I'm sure there is a better more efficient diet to lose weight, but this is a marathon and not a sprint for me. I drink water all day and change it up with some Crystal Light drink mix in the evening. The biggest adjustment for me was binge drinking as I love the booze, but I'll pound a few Mickey's tallboys at a metal show or a few cocktails when out with the ol lady every now and again but certainly keep it to moderation. I'll treat myself to some KC BBQ every now and again because I owe it to my geography and maybe an Anthony Joe's Select Chicago Style pizza from Tarantino's, but that's about it.
