Foods, diet, and weight loss

[Arlen]

Thanks for the congrats.

It's totally possible to get in good shape without having to go through lists of food and all of that stuff.

The way I personally found easiest was this.

How hungry are you on a scale of 1-10, 10 being a wee bit and 1 being about to faint from hunger. Anything less than 5 and you can have a meal.

The no S diet. No sweet snacks unless it is a Saturday, Sunday or Special day.

Meals should be 2/3 veggies, A piece of meat no bigger than a deck of cards and whatever else (IE rice or cous cous or mashed potatoes.)
Use that idea even if you're making a stir fry or stew or anything like that.

It really worked for me and it was pretty easy to remember without too much faffing about.

Another easy method is for each meal, your plate should have about 1/4 meat (or a meat substitute), 1/4 starch (bread, potatoes, pasta, etc.), and the other half non-starchy fruits and vegetables.
