Re: Whats the Best diet/exercise programs you have tried ?
Weight Watchers. I've been using their principles all my adult life. Even though I no longer go to meetings because of my location, I adhere. My weight has been stable. I never binge. I did have to give up my trigger food (ice cream) I have not eaten ice cream since 1990. I have a body at age 45 that looks better in a bikini than any college student I have ever met. Sensible rules, great support.
The thing is people try all these fad diets built on nonsense nutrition-and they are unlivable and unsound. They lose weight real fast and think they are "cured" and go back to their regular diets-and then they go back to their old body. You can't look good and eat at Mickey D's, atleast not for long.
I shop the periphery of the grocery store. Nver the center aisles. Thats where the junk is. I don't even look. I just buy my produce and my fish and some frozen organic stuff for work. No butter, no candy, no bread, no cake, no nothing. I'm stricter with myself than I used to be. I'm older, I quit smoking, I had major surgery recently to remove a huge tumor, and I don't want to look old and fat. Wrinkles to me are acceptable and welcomed, rolls of fat are not. I have a lot of living to do and don't want to be slowed down. Fibre and water really help too. So does looking at your body as an investment.
I walk everywhere. I don't own a car. I have a very active job, I play sports. Walking is free, you do not need to join a club to do it, you don't need clothing or equipment. You can invite your friends to powerwalk with you.
