My diet: time to trigger DEFCON 1
This year I've let my diet slip, and despite logging 25-30 miles per week on the road and trail, I've managed to pack on about 25 extra pounds! The problem is I love all the wrong types of foods: from pizza, cheeseburgers and fries to cookies, cake, pie, and chocolate candy. Of course, I detest fruits and most vegetables!
The last few times I started a diet, I weighed myself after a few days and hadn't lost a pound, confirming that my effort wasn't at a satisfactory level. Disgusted with my failure, I would binge for several days in self-pity.
On my last five-miler, unable to see my running shoes, I decided I needed to "go nuclear." So, I went on Amazon (everyone's favorite place...plus I'm a shareholder!) and ordered two dozen SlimFast Advanced Energy meal replacement shakes.

I've had success in the distant past using SlimFast shakes, and once lost over 50 pounds on a clinic-sponsored weight loss program that relied on liquid shake-based meal replacements only for several months. I actually compared the nutrition of this SlimFast product to the proprietary clinic shake and found the SlimFast shakes look superior.
Anyway, I just hope I can muster the willpower and motivation to get fully on board with this program until it becomes a habit. I'll check in periodically and let you know how I'm doing (or NOT doing :eek-new: :frown-new:).

Also remember that muscles are heavier than fat. So if you build them up, you’ll gain weight although your fat percentage will decrease.

Listen to YOUR body as well as others / experts. I eat more through the day if i eat breakfast, weird really. 48 and hover between a fairly constant 10st 7-11lb
my natural inclination is to feel peckish around 12-2 without breakfast.
so most days I really only have two meals a day. I dont feel hungry, cheated or miserable it’s just listening to my body. If I’m hungry i eat, sensibly but i eat.
No one size fits all.
