So, I (45F) gained 25 lbs since March. Didn't care. Not seeing anyone most of the time anyways. Didn't care. Until Fall starts and many of my clothes don't fit well. It sucks.
I did keto before. Nah, no more keto. I still want to enjoy some carbs and I love fruit. No more keto.
I did HCG diet before. Nope. That diet took me to the ER and I left with $$$$ hospital bills. Nope.
I watched a colleague who's selling smoothies diet (MLM) and it looked attractive until I saw the price. No, not gonna spend that kind of money.
CICO. Yeah, sure! But I don't want to obsess over every calorie I put in to my mouth.
I finally decided to do clean eating. Fruit and veggies with homemade salad dressing, mostly yogurt based, and lots of healthy fat (salmon, avocado, etc). I bake my own bread. I buy mostly organic products. I stop eating when I feel full. No more "no, you have to finish your plate" mentality anymore. I kind of practice intermittent fasting, even though I don't really have fixed eating time. I try to sleep for 8 hours every night.
I lost 5 lbs so far in the past two week. I feel much better, too. I feel lighter inside. I don't set a goal. I'll make this as my lifestyle now. It's better for a long run.
