Eating Only When Hungry

"My plan is simple. I eat when I feel hungry, and I stop when I'm satisfied, not stuffed. I let myself have anything I want, but most of the time try to make healthy, low-fat choices. I am also keeping track of my daily calories, although if I'm hungry I don't let it dictate whether I have something to eat. But, I've found that I generally keep my calories between 1500 and 2000 a day, which is in my range for weight loss. I also exercise on my plan, doing 45 minutes of step aerobics and 30 minutes of toning a day. I feel really great, and never feel deprived of any food. I know I can have anything, as long as it's in moderation. And, I've found that I don't crave chocolate or chips the way I used to. I guess my body has adjusted to my way of eating, and I get more enjoyment out of fresh fruit than chocolate! Amazing!" - Mina

"I am eating only when hungry..stop when comfortable but not stuffed...I also do count calories & fat grams..staying below 1200 calories with 30% or less of the calories coming from fat. I use dietwatch to keep track of everything as well as my exercise. I normally do 20 to 30 minutes of floor toning with Susan Powters & the Bun Busters toning tapes. Then if the weather is nice I do 1 to 2 hours of an Aerobic Aqua workout (includes some toning)...or if not nice out I ride my stationary bike for a minimum of one hour . I do this everyday including holidays & weekends & even while on vacation. I am currently losing at a very steady rate of 2 to 4 pounds per week & I also measure & since April 21st have lost 24" too...along with 24 pounds. I drink 200 or more ounces of water per day & keep a daily journal. I started at 389 pounds in 1981 & am currently hovering in the 200 range." - Wrenranae
